The issue found with bug 25411 is due to the function skip_rear_comments()
which damages the source code while implementing a work around.
The root cause of the problem is in the lexical analyser, which does not
process special comments properly.
For special comments like :
[1] aaa /*!50000 bbb */ ccc
since 5.0 is a version older that the current code, the parser is in lining
the content of the special comment, so that the query to process is
[2] aaa bbb ccc
However, the text of the query captured when processing a stored procedure,
stored function or trigger (or event in 5.1), can be after rebuilding it:
[3] aaa bbb */ ccc
which is wrong.
To fix bug 25411 properly, the lexical analyser needs to return [2] when
in lining special comments.
In order to implement this, some preliminary cleanup is required in the code,
which is implemented by this patch.
Before this change, the structure named LEX (or st_lex) contains attributes
that belong to lexical analysis, as well as attributes that represents the
abstract syntax tree (AST) of a statement.
Creating a new LEX structure for each statements (which makes sense for the
AST part) also re-initialized the lexical analysis phase each time, which
is conceptually wrong.
With this patch, the previous st_lex structure has been split in two:
- st_lex represents the Abstract Syntax Tree for a statement. The name "lex"
has not been changed to avoid a bigger impact in the code base.
- class lex_input_stream represents the internal state of the lexical
analyser, which by definition should *not* be reinitialized when parsing
multiple statements from the same input stream.
This change is a pre-requisite for bug 25411, since the implementation of
lex_input_stream will later improve to deal properly with special comments,
and this processing can not be done with the current implementation of
sp_head::reset_lex and sp_head::restore_lex, which interfere with the lexer.
This change set alone does not fix bug 25411.
Problem: setting/displaying @@LC_TIME_NAMES didn't distinguish between
GLOBAL and SESSION variable types - always SESSION variable
was set/shonw.
Fix: set either global or session value.
Also, "mysqld --lc-time-names" was added to set "global default" value.
- Problem: data separators were copied to a fixed-size buffer
on the stack; memcpy was used, without bounds checking; a
server crash could result if long FIELDS ENCLOSED BY, etc.,
was given
- Fix: write the separators directly, instead of copying to
a buffer first (in select_export::send_data())
When rand() is called multiple times inside a stored procedure, the server does
not binlog the correct random seed values.
This patch corrects the problem by resetting rand_used= 0 in
THD::cleanup_after_query() allowing the system to save the random seeds if needed
for each command in a stored procedure body.
However, rand_used is not reset if executing in a stored function or trigger
because these operations are binlogged by call and thus only the calling statement
need detect the call to rand() made by its substatements. These substatements must
not set rand_used to 0 because it would remove the detection of rand() by the
calling statement.
fixes).
The legend: on a replication slave, in case a trigger creation
was filtered out because of application of replicate-do-table/
replicate-ignore-table rule, the parsed definition of a trigger was not
cleaned up properly. LEX::sphead member was left around and leaked
memory. Until the actual implementation of support of
replicate-ignore-table rules for triggers by the patch for Bug 24478 it
was never the case that "case SQLCOM_CREATE_TRIGGER"
was not executed once a trigger was parsed,
so the deletion of lex->sphead there worked and the memory did not leak.
The fix:
The real cause of the bug is that there is no 1 or 2 places where
we can clean up the main LEX after parse. And the reason we
can not have just one or two places where we clean up the LEX is
asymmetric behaviour of MYSQLparse in case of success or error.
One of the root causes of this behaviour is the code in Item::Item()
constructor. There, a newly created item adds itself to THD::free_list
- a single-linked list of Items used in a statement. Yuck. This code
is unaware that we may have more than one statement active at a time,
and always assumes that the free_list of the current statement is
located in THD::free_list. One day we need to be able to explicitly
allocate an item in a given Query_arena.
Thus, when parsing a definition of a stored procedure, like
CREATE PROCEDURE p1() BEGIN SELECT a FROM t1; SELECT b FROM t1; END;
we actually need to reset THD::mem_root, THD::free_list and THD::lex
to parse the nested procedure statement (SELECT *).
The actual reset and restore is implemented in semantic actions
attached to sp_proc_stmt grammar rule.
The problem is that in case of a parsing error inside a nested statement
Bison generated parser would abort immediately, without executing the
restore part of the semantic action. This would leave THD in an
in-the-middle-of-parsing state.
This is why we couldn't have had a single place where we clean up the LEX
after MYSQLparse - in case of an error we needed to do a clean up
immediately, in case of success a clean up could have been delayed.
This left the door open for a memory leak.
One of the following possibilities were considered when working on a fix:
- patch the replication logic to do the clean up. Rejected
as breaks module borders, replication code should not need to know the
gory details of clean up procedure after CREATE TRIGGER.
- wrap MYSQLparse with a function that would do a clean up.
Rejected as ideally we should fix the problem when it happens, not
adjust for it outside of the problematic code.
- make sure MYSQLparse cleans up after itself by invoking the clean up
functionality in the appropriate places before return. Implemented in
this patch.
- use %destructor rule for sp_proc_stmt to restore THD - cleaner
than the prevoius approach, but rejected
because needs a careful analysis of the side effects, and this patch is
for 5.0, and long term we need to use the next alternative anyway
- make sure that sp_proc_stmt doesn't juggle with THD - this is a
large work that will affect many modules.
Cleanup: move main_lex and main_mem_root from Statement to its
only two descendants Prepared_statement and THD. This ensures that
when a Statement instance was created for purposes of statement backup,
we do not involve LEX constructor/destructor, which is fairly expensive.
In order to track that the transformation produces equivalent
functionality please check the respective constructors and destructors
of Statement, Prepared_statement and THD - these members were
used only there.
This cleanup is unrelated to the patch.

Bug 25345 (Cursors from Functions)
This fix resolves a long standing issue originally reported with bug 8407,
which affect the behavior of Stored Procedures, Stored Functions and Trigger
in many different ways, causing symptoms reported by all the bugs listed.
In all cases, the root cause of the problem traces back to 8407 and how the
server locks tables involved with sub statements.
Prior to this fix, the implementation of stored routines would:
- compute the transitive closure of all the tables referenced by a top level
statement
- open and lock all the tables involved
- execute the top level statement
"transitive closure of tables" means collecting:
- all the tables,
- all the stored functions,
- all the views,
- all the table triggers
- all the stored procedures
involved, and recursively inspect these objects definition to find more
references to more objects, until the list of every object referenced does
not grow any more.
This mechanism is known as "pre-locking" tables before execution.
The motivation for locking all the tables (possibly) used at once is to
prevent dead locks.
One problem with this approach is that, if the execution path the code
really takes during runtime does not use a given table, and if the table is
missing, the server would not execute the statement.
This in particular has a major impact on triggers, since a missing table
referenced by an update/delete trigger would prevent an insert trigger to run.
Another problem is that stored routines might define SQL exception handlers
to deal with missing tables, but the server implementation would never give
user code a chance to execute this logic, since the routine is never
executed when a missing table cause the pre-locking code to fail.
With this fix, the internal implementation of the pre-locking code has been
relaxed of some constraints, so that failure to open a table does not
necessarily prevent execution of a stored routine.
In particular, the pre-locking mechanism is now behaving as follows:
1) the first step, to compute the transitive closure of all the tables
possibly referenced by a statement, is unchanged.
2) the next step, which is to open all the tables involved, only attempts
to open the tables added by the pre-locking code, but silently fails without
reporting any error or invoking any exception handler is the table is not
present. This is achieved by trapping internal errors with
Prelock_error_handler
3) the locking step only locks tables that were successfully opened.
4) when executing sub statements, the list of tables used by each statements
is evaluated as before. The tables needed by the sub statement are expected
to be already opened and locked. Statement referencing tables that were not
opened in step 2) will fail to find the table in the open list, and only at
this point will execution of the user code fail.
5) when a runtime exception is raised at 4), the instruction continuation
destination (the next instruction to execute in case of SQL continue
handlers) is evaluated.
This is achieved with sp_instr::exec_open_and_lock_tables()
6) if a user exception handler is present in the stored routine, that
handler is invoked as usual, so that ER_NO_SUCH_TABLE exceptions can be
trapped by stored routines. If no handler exists, then the runtime execution
will fail as expected.
With all these changes, a side effect is that view security is impacted, in
two different ways.
First, a view defined as "select stored_function()", where the stored
function references a table that may not exist, is considered valid.
The rationale is that, because the stored function might trap exceptions
during execution and still return a valid result, there is no way to decide
when the view is created if a missing table really cause the view to be invalid.
Secondly, testing for existence of tables is now done later during
execution. View security, which consist of trapping errors and return a
generic ER_VIEW_INVALID (to prevent disclosing information) was only
implemented at very specific phases covering *opening* tables, but not
covering the runtime execution. Because of this existing limitation,
errors that were previously trapped and converted into ER_VIEW_INVALID are
not trapped, causing table names to be reported to the user.
This change is exposing an existing problem, which is independent and will
be resolved separately.
This patch fixes problem that LOAD DATA could use different
character sets when loading files on master and on slave sides:
- Adding replication of thd->variables.collation_database
- Adding optional character set clause into LOAD DATA
Note, the second way, with explicit CHARACTER SET clause
should be the recommended way to load data using an alternative
character set.
The old way, using "SET @@character_set_database=xxx" should be
gradually depricated.

BUG#14914 "SP: Uses of session variables in routines are not always
replicated"
BUG#25167 "Dupl. usage of user-variables in trigger/function is not
replicated correctly"
User-defined variables used inside of stored functions/triggers in
statements which did not update tables directly were not replicated.
We also had problems with replication of user-defined variables which
were used in triggers (or stored functions called from table-updating
statements) more than once.
This patch addresses the first issue by enabling logging of all
references to user-defined variables in triggers/stored functions
and not only references from table-updating statements.
The second issue stemmed from the fact that for user-defined
variables used from triggers or stored functions called from
table-updating statements we were writing binlog events for each
reference instead of only one event for the first reference.
This problem is already solved for stored functions called from
non-updating statements with help of "event unioning" mechanism.
So the patch simply extends this mechanism to the case affected.
It also fixes small problem in this mechanism which caused wrong
logging of references to user-variables in cases when non-updating
statement called several stored functions which used the same
variable and some of these function calls were omitted from binlog
as they were not updating any tables.
- Starting time of a query sent by bootstrapping wasn't initialized
and starting time defaulted to 0. This later used value by NOW-
item and was translated to 1970-01-01 11:00:00.
- Marketing the time with thd->set_time() before the call to
mysql_parse resolves this issue.
- set_time was refactored to be part of the thd->init_for_queries-
process.

This error is displayed anytime the SELECT statement needs a temp table to
return correct results because the object (select_dumpvar) that represents
variables named in the INTO clause stored the results before the temp
table was considered. The problem was fixed by creating the necessary
Item_func_set_user_var objects once the correct data is ready.
