Options loaded from config files were added before command line
arguments, and they were parsed together, which could interprete
the following:
option-a
option-b
as --option-a=--option-b if 'option-a' requires a value, and
caused confusing.
Because all options that requires a value are always given in
the form '--option=value', so it's an error if there is no
'=value' part for such an option read from config file.
This patch added a separator to separate the arguments from
config files and that from command line, so that they can be
handled differently. And report an error for options loaded
from config files that requires a value and is not given in the
form '--option=value'.

Cleanup pthread_self(), pthread_create(), pthread_join() implementation on Windows.
Prior implementation is was unnecessarily complicated and even differs in embedded
and non-embedded case.
Improvements in this patch:
* pthread_t is now the unique thread ID, instead of HANDLE returned by beginthread
This simplifies pthread_self() to be just straight GetCurrentThreadId().
prior it was much art involved in passing the beginthread() handle from the caller
to the TLS structure in the child thread ( did not work for the main thread of
course)
* remove MySQL specific my_thread_init()/my_thread_end() from pthread_create.
No automagic is done on Unix on pthread_create(). Having the same on Windows will
improve portability and avoid extra #ifdef's
* remove redefinition of getpid() - it was defined as GetCurrentThreadId()
DECIMAL and TIMESTAMP used to have NUM_FLAG, but NEWDECIMAL was forgotten.
It's correct that TIMESTAMP does not have the flag nowadays (manual will be updated, connectors
developers will be notified).
This patch provides performance improvements:
- send_fields() when character_set_results = latin1
is now about twice faster for column/table/database
names, consisting on ASCII characters.
Changes:
- Protocol doesn't use "convert" temporary buffer anymore,
and converts strings directly to "packet".
- General conversion optimization: quick conversion
of ASCII strings was added.
modified files:
include/m_ctype.h
- Adding a new flag.
- Adding a new function prototype
libmysqld/lib_sql.cc
- Adding quick conversion method for embedded library:
conversion is now done directly to result buffer,
without using a temporary buffer.
mysys/charset.c
- Mark all dynamic ucs2 character sets as non-ASCII
- Mark some dymamic 7bit and 8bit charsets as non-ASCII
(for example swe7 is not fully ASCII compatible).
sql/protocol.cc
- Adding quick method to convert a string directly
into protocol buffer, without using a temporary buffer.
sql/protocol.h
- Adding a new method prototype
sql/sql_string.cc
Optimization for conversion between two ASCII-compatible charsets:
- quickly convert ASCII strings,
switch to mc_wc->wc_mb method only when a non-ASCII character is met.
- copy four ASCII characters at once on i386
strings/conf_to_src.c
- Marking non-ASCII character sets with a flag.
strings/ctype-extra.c
- Regenerating ctype-extra.c by running "conf_to_src".
strings/ctype-uca.c
- Marking UCS2 character set as non-ASCII.
strings/ctype-ucs2.c
- Marking UCS2 character set as non-ASCII.
strings/ctype.c
- A new function to detect if a 7bit or 8bit character set
is ascii compatible.

Always use TLS functions instead of __declspec(thread) to access
thread local storage variables.
The change removes the necessity to recomplile the same source
files twice - with USE_TLS for DLLs and without USE_TLS for EXEs.
Real benefit of this change is better readability and maintainability
of TLS functions within MySQL.
There is a performance loss using TlsXXX functions compared to __declspec
but the difference is negligible in practice. In a sysbench-like benchmark
I ran with with TlsGetValue, pthread_[get|set]_specific was called 600000000
times and took 0.17sec of total 35min CPU time, or 0.008%.
Backport from 6.0 to 5.1.
Only those sync points are included, which are used in debug_sync.test.
The Debug Sync Facility allows to place synchronization points
in the code:
open_tables(...)
DEBUG_SYNC(thd, "after_open_tables");
lock_tables(...)
When activated, a sync point can
- Send a signal and/or
- Wait for a signal
Nomenclature:
- signal: A value of a global variable that persists
until overwritten by a new signal. The global
variable can also be seen as a "signal post"
or "flag mast". Then the signal is what is
attached to the "signal post" or "flag mast".
- send a signal: Assign the value (the signal) to the global
variable ("set a flag") and broadcast a
global condition to wake those waiting for
a signal.
- wait for a signal: Loop over waiting for the global condition until
the global value matches the wait-for signal.
Please find more information in the top comment in debug_sync.cc
or in the worklog entry.
NOTE: Backporting the patch to next-mr.
WL#4828 Augment DBUG_ENTER/DBUG_EXIT to crash MySQL in different functions
-------
The assessment of the replication code in the presence of faults is extremely
import to increase reliability. In particular, one needs to know if servers
will either correctly recovery or print out appropriate error messages thus
avoiding unexpected problems in a production environment.
In order to accomplish this, the current patch refactories the debug macros
already provided in the source code and introduces three new macros that
allows to inject faults, specifically crashes, while entering or exiting a
function or method. For instance, to crash a server while returning from
the init_slave function (see module sql/slave.cc), one needs to do what
follows:
1 - Modify the source replacing DBUG_RETURN by DBUG_CRASH_RETURN;
DBUG_CRASH_RETURN(0);
2 - Use the debug variable to activate dbug instructions:
SET SESSION debug="+d,init_slave_crash_return";
The new macros are briefly described below:
DBUG_CRASH_ENTER (function) is equivalent to DBUG_ENTER which registers the
beginning of a function but in addition to it allows for crashing the server
while entering the function if the appropriate dbug instruction is activate.
In this case, the dbug instruction should be "+d,function_crash_enter".
DBUG_CRASH_RETURN (value) is equivalent to DBUG_RETURN which notifies the
end of a function but in addition to it allows for crashing the server
while returning from the function if the appropriate dbug instruction is
activate. In this case, the dbug instruction should be
"+d,function_crash_return". Note that "function" should be the same string
used by either the DBUG_ENTER or DBUG_CRASH_ENTER.
DBUG_CRASH_VOID_RETURN (value) is equivalent to DBUG_VOID_RETURN which
notifies the end of a function but in addition to it allows for crashing
the server while returning from the function if the appropriate dbug
instruction is activate. In this case, the dbug instruction should be
"+d,function_crash_return". Note that "function" should be the same string
used by either the DBUG_ENTER or DBUG_CRASH_ENTER.
To inject other faults, for instance, wrong return values, one should rely
on the macros already available. The current patch also removes a set of
macros that were either not being used or were redundant as other macros
could be used to provide the same feature. In the future, we also consider
dynamic instrumentation of the code.
BUG#45747 DBUG_CRASH_* is not setting the strict option
---------
When combining DBUG_CRASH_* with "--debug=d:t:i:A,file" the server crashes
due to a call to the abort function in the DBUG_CRASH_* macro althought the
appropriate keyword has not been set.
Restore a stub of the removed mysql_odbc_escape_string function
to fix a ABI breakage. The function was intended to be private
and used only by Connector/ODBC, but, unfortunately, it was exported
as part of the ABI. Nonetheless, only a stub is restored as the
original function is inherently broken and shouldn't be used.
This restoration only applies to MySQL 5.0. This will be addressed
differently in later versions -- reworked library versioning.
Bug#24509 - 2048 file descriptor limit on windows needs increasing, also
WL#3049 - improved Windows I/O
The patch replaces the use of the POSIX I/O interfaces in mysys on Windows with
the Win32 API calls (CreateFile, WriteFile, etc). The Windows HANDLE for the open
file is stored in the my_file_info struct, along with a flag for append mode
because the Windows API does not support opening files in append mode in all cases)
The default max open files has been increased to 16384 and can be increased further
by setting --max-open-files=<value> during the server start.
Another major change in this patch that almost all Windows specific file IO code
has been moved to a new file my_winfile.c, greatly reducing the amount of code
in #ifdef blocks within mysys, thus improving readability.
Minor enhancements:
- my_(f)stat() is changed to use __stati64 structure with 64 file size
and timestamps. It will return correct file size now (C runtime implementation
used to report outdated information)
- my_lock on Windows is prepared to handle additional timeout parameter
- after review : changed __WIN__ to _WIN32 in the new and changed code.
can crash under load
Backport from 5.1.
Does also include key cache fixes from:
Bug 44068 (RESTORE can disable the MyISAM Key Cache)
Bug 40944 (Backup: crash after myisampack)
CREATE TABLE...LIKE...
The mysql server option 'sync_frm' is ignored when table is created with
syntax CREATE TABLE .. LIKE..
Fixed by adding the MY_SYNC flag and calling my_sync() from my_copy() when
the flag is set.
In mysql_create_table(), when the 'sync_frm' is set, MY_SYNC flag is passed
to my_copy().
Note: TestCase is not attached and can be tested manually using debugger.
with gcc 4.3.2
This patch fixes a number of GCC warnings about variables used
before initialized. A new macro UNINIT_VAR() is introduced for
use in the variable declaration, and LINT_INIT() usage will be
gradually deprecated. (A workaround is used for g++, pending a
patch for a g++ bug.)
GCC warnings for unused results (attribute warn_unused_result)
for a number of system calls (present at least in later
Ubuntus, where the usual void cast trick doesn't work) are
also fixed.
bzr branch mysql-5.1-performance-version mysql-trunk # Summit
cd mysql-trunk
bzr merge mysql-5.1-innodb_plugin # which is 5.1 + Innodb plugin
bzr rm innobase # remove the builtin
Next step: build, test fixes.
- Define and pass compile time path variables as pre-processor definitions to
mimic the makefile build.
- Set new CMake version and policy requirements explicitly.
- Changed DATADIR to MYSQL_DATADIR to avoid conflicting definition in
Platform SDK header ObjIdl.h which also defines DATADIR.
A REPLACE in the MERGE engine is actually a REPLACE
into one (FIRST or LAST) of the underlying MyISAM
tables. So in effect the server works on the meta
data of the MERGE table, while the real insert happens
in the MyISAM table.
The MERGE table has no index, while MyISAM has a
unique index. When a REPLACE into a MERGE table (
and the REPLACE conflicts with a duplicate in a
child table) is done, we try to access the duplicate
key information for the MERGE table. This information
actually does not exist, hence this results in a crash.
The problem can be resolved by modifying the MERGE
engine to provide us the duplicate key information
directly, instead of just returning the MyISAM index
number as the error key. Then the SQL layer (or "the
server") does not try to access the key_info of the
MERGE table, which does not exist.
The current patch modifies the MERGE engine to provide
the position for a record where a unique key violation
occurs.
not logged
Errors encountered during initialization of the SSL subsystem
are printed to stderr, rather than to the error log.
This patch adds a parameter to several SSL init functions to
report the error (if any) out to the caller. The function
init_ssl() in mysqld.cc is moved after the initialization of
the log subsystem, so that any error messages can be logged to
the error log. Printing of messages to stderr has been
retained to get diagnostic output in a client context.
it returns misleading 'table is full'
Innodb returns a misleading error message "table is full"
when the number of active concurrent transactions is greater
than 1024.
Fixed by adding errorcode "ER_TOO_MANY_CONCURRENT_TRXS" to the
error codes. Innodb should return HA_TOO_MANY_CONCURRENT_TRXS
to mysql which is then mapped to ER_TOO_MANY_CONCURRENT_TRXS
Note: testcase is not written as this was reproducible only by
changing innodb code.
Fixed the following problems:
1. cmake 2.6 warning because of a changed default on
how the dependencies to libraries with a specified
path are resolved.
Fixed by requiring cmake 2.6.
2. Removed an obsolete pre-NT4 hack including defining
Windows system defines to alter the behavior of windows.h.
3. Disabled warning C4065 on compiling sql_yacc.cc because
of a know incompatibility in some of the newer bison binaries.
and base tables
myrg_attach_children() could reuse a buffer that was allocated
previously based on a definition of a child table. The problem
was that the child's definition might have been changed, so
reusing the buffer could lead to crashes or valgrind errors
under some circumstances.
Fixed by changing myrg_attach_children() so that the
rec_per_key_part buffer is reused only when the child table
have not changed, and reallocated otherwise (the old buffer is
deallocated if necessary).
unnecessarily
The problem is that libmysqlclient.so is built with THREAD
undefined, while a client compiling against the same header
files will see THREAD as defined and definitions in
my_pthread.h will be included, possibly resulting in undefined
symbols that cannot be resolved with libmysqlclient.so.
The suggested solution is to require that clients wanting to
link with libmysqlclient.so should be built with
MYSQL_CLIENT_NO_THREADS defined. This requires a documentation
change, and more details for this will be supplied if this
patch is approved.
The MYSQL_CLIENT_NO_THREADS define was renamed from
UNDEF_THREADS_HACK, to get a more suitable (less suspicious)
name for the define. (The UNDEF_THREADS_HACK is retained for
backwards compatibility, though.)
This patch is also in anticipation of WL#4958, which will
remove this problem altogether by dropping the building of
libmysqlclient.
Failure to allocate memory for the hash->array element,
caused hash_init to return without initializing the other
members of the hash. Thus although the dynamic array
buffer may be allocated at a later point in the code, the
incompletely initialized hash caused fatal failures.
This patch moves the initialization of the other members
of the hash above the array allocation, so that the usage
of this hash will not result in fatal failures.
