Virtual columns of ENUM and SET data types were not supported properly
in the original patch that introduced virtual columns into MariaDB 5.2.
The problem was that for any virtual column the patch used the
interval_id field of the definition of the column in the frm file as
a reference to the virtual column expression.
The fix stores the optional interval_id of the virtual column in the
extended header of the virtual column expression.

In sql_class.cc, 'row_count', of type 'ha_rows', was used as last argument for
ER_TRUNCATED_WRONG_VALUE_FOR_FIELD which is
"Incorrect %-.32s value: '%-.128s' for column '%.192s' at row %ld".
So 'ha_rows' was used as 'long'.
On SPARC32 Solaris builds, 'long' is 4 bytes and 'ha_rows' is 'longlong' i.e. 8 bytes.
So the printf-like code was reading only the first 4 bytes.
Because the CPU is big-endian, 1LL is 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x01
so the first four bytes yield 0. So the warning message had "row 0" instead of
"row 1" in test outfile_loaddata.test:
-Warning 1366 Incorrect string value: '\xE1\xE2\xF7' for column 'b' at row 1
+Warning 1366 Incorrect string value: '\xE1\xE2\xF7' for column 'b' at row 0
All error-messaging functions which internally invoke some printf-life function
are potential candidate for such mistakes.
One apparently easy way to catch such mistakes is to use
ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT (from my_attribute.h).
But this works only when call site has both:
a) the format as a string literal
b) the types of arguments.
So:
func(ER(ER_BLAH), 10);
will silently not be checked, because ER(ER_BLAH) is not known at
compile time (it is known at run-time, and depends on the chosen
language).
And
func("%s", a va_list argument);
has the same problem, as the *real* type of arguments is not
known at this site at compile time (it's known in some caller).
Moreover,
func(ER(ER_BLAH));
though possibly correct (if ER(ER_BLAH) has no '%' markers), will not
compile (gcc says "error: format not a string literal and no format
arguments").
Consequences:
1) ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT is here added only to functions which in practice
take "string literal" formats: "my_error_reporter" and "print_admin_msg".
2) it cannot be added to the other functions: my_error(),
push_warning_printf(), Table_check_intact::report_error(),
general_log_print().
To do a one-time check of functions listed in (2), the following
"static code analysis" has been done:
1) replace
my_error(ER_xxx, arguments for substitution in format)
with the equivalent
my_printf_error(ER_xxx,ER(ER_xxx), arguments for substitution in
format),
so that we have ER(ER_xxx) and the arguments *in the same call site*
2) add ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT to push_warning_printf(),
Table_check_intact::report_error(), general_log_print()
3) replace ER(xxx) with the hard-coded English text found in
errmsg.txt (like: ER(ER_UNKNOWN_ERROR) is replaced with
"Unknown error"), so that a call site has the format as string literal
4) this way, ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT can effectively do its job
5) compile, fix errors detected by ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT
6) revert steps 1-2-3.
The present patch has no compiler error when submitted again to the
static code analysis above.
It cannot catch all problems though: see Field::set_warning(), in
which a call to push_warning_printf() has a variable error
(thus, not replacable by a string literal); I checked set_warning() calls
by hand though.
See also WL 5883 for one proposal to avoid such bugs from appearing
again in the future.
The issues fixed in the patch are:
a) mismatch in types (like 'int' passed to '%ld')
b) more arguments passed than specified in the format.
This patch resolves mismatches by changing the type/number of arguments,
not by changing error messages of sql/share/errmsg.txt. The latter would be wrong,
per the following old rule: errmsg.txt must be as stable as possible; no insertions
or deletions of messages, no changes of type or number of printf-like format specifiers,
are allowed, as long as the change impacts a message already released in a GA version.
If this rule is not followed:
- Connectors, which use error message numbers, will be confused (by insertions/deletions
of messages)
- using errmsg.sys of MySQL 5.1.n with mysqld of MySQL 5.1.(n+1)
could produce wrong messages or crash; such usage can easily happen if
installing 5.1.(n+1) while /etc/my.cnf still has --language=/path/to/5.1.n/xxx;
or if copying mysqld from 5.1.(n+1) into a 5.1.n installation.
When fixing b), I have verified that the superfluous arguments were not used in the format
in the first 5.1 GA (5.1.30 'bteam@astra04-20081114162938-z8mctjp6st27uobm').
Had they been used, then passing them today, even if the message doesn't use them
anymore, would have been necessary, as explained above.

- Add new "format section" in extra data segment with additional table and
column properties. This was originally introduced in 5.1.20 based MySQL Cluster
- Remove hardcoded STORAGE DISK for table and instead
output the real storage format used. Keep both TABLESPACE
and STORAGE inside same version guard.
- Implement default version of handler::get_tablespace_name() since tablespace
is now available in share and it's unnecessary for each handler to implement.
(the function could actually be removed totally now).
- Add test for combinations of TABLESPACE and STORAGE with CREATE TABLE
and ALTER TABLE
- Add test to show that 5.5 now can read a .frm file created by MySQL Cluster
7.0.22. Although it does not yet show the column level attributes, they are read.
Essentially, the problem is that safemalloc is excruciatingly
slow as it checks all allocated blocks for overrun at each
memory management primitive, yielding a almost exponential
slowdown for the memory management functions (malloc, realloc,
free). The overrun check basically consists of verifying some
bytes of a block for certain magic keys, which catches some
simple forms of overrun. Another minor problem is violation
of aliasing rules and that its own internal list of blocks
is prone to corruption.
Another issue with safemalloc is rather the maintenance cost
as the tool has a significant impact on the server code.
Given the magnitude of memory debuggers available nowadays,
especially those that are provided with the platform malloc
implementation, maintenance of a in-house and largely obsolete
memory debugger becomes a burden that is not worth the effort
due to its slowness and lack of support for detecting more
common forms of heap corruption.
Since there are third-party tools that can provide the same
functionality at a lower or comparable performance cost, the
solution is to simply remove safemalloc. Third-party tools
can provide the same functionality at a lower or comparable
performance cost.
The removal of safemalloc also allows a simplification of the
malloc wrappers, removing quite a bit of kludge: redefinition
of my_malloc, my_free and the removal of the unused second
argument of my_free. Since free() always check whether the
supplied pointer is null, redudant checks are also removed.
Also, this patch adds unit testing for my_malloc and moves
my_realloc implementation into the same file as the other
memory allocation primitives.
client/mysqldump.c:
Pass my_free directly as its signature is compatible with the
callback type -- which wasn't the case for free_table_ent.
strict aliasing violations.
Essentially, the problem is that large parts of the server were
developed in simpler times (last decades, pre C99 standard) when
strict aliasing and compilers supporting such optimizations were
rare to non-existent. Thus, when compiling the server with a modern
compiler that uses strict aliasing rules to perform optimizations,
there are several places in the code that might trigger undefined
behavior.
As evinced by some recent bugs, GCC does a somewhat good of job
misoptimizing such code, but on the other hand also gives warnings
about suspicious code. One problem is that the warnings aren't
always accurate, yet we can't afford to just shut them off as we
might miss real cases. False-positive cases are aggravated mostly
by casts that are likely to trigger undefined behavior.
The solution is to start a cleanup process focused on fixing and
reducing the amount of strict-aliasing related warnings produced
by GCC and others compilers. A good deal of noise reduction can
be achieved by just removing useless casts that are product of
historical cruft and are likely to trigger undefined behavior if
dereferenced.

This patch:
- Moves all definitions from the mysql_priv.h file into
header files for the component where the variable is
defined
- Creates header files if the component lacks one
- Eliminates all include directives from mysql_priv.h
- Eliminates all circular include cycles
- Rename time.cc to sql_time.cc
- Rename mysql_priv.h to sql_priv.h
The task is to
(a) add a comment on indexes and
(b) increase the maximum length of column, table and the new index comments.
The patch committed on behalf of Yoshinori Matsunobu (Yoshinori.Matsunobu@Sun.COM).
- Moved some code from innodb_plugin to xtradb, to ensure that all tests runs
- Did changes in pbxt and maria storage engines becasue of changes in thd->query
- Reverted wrong code in sql_table.cc for how ROW_FORMAT is used.
This is a re-commit of Monty's merge to eliminate an extra commit from
MySQL-5.1.42 that was accidentally included in the merge.
This is a merge of the MySQL 5.1.41 clone-off (clone-5.1.41-build). In
case there are any extra changes done before final MySQL 5.1.41
release, these will need to be merged later before MariaDB 5.1.41
release.
* Finished Monty and Jani's merge
* Some InnoDB tests still fail (because it's old xtradb code run against
newer testsuite). They are expected to go after mergning with the latest
xtradb.

sql/unireg.cc:
Do not call ha_create_handler_files() when we were requested
to create only dot-frm file.
The problem was that the server was trying to use the unknown
error format string (ER_UNKNOWN_ERROR) to print messages about
comments being too long, but the said format string does not
accept arguments and will always default to "Unknown error".
The solution is to introduce new error messages which are
specific to the error conditions so that server wants to
signal -- this also means that it's possible to translate
those messages.

copied mtr from 6.0-main here (at least this one knows how to run Maria tests).
I also fixed suite/maria tests to be accepted by the new mtr.
mysys/thr_mutex.c:
adding DBUG_PRINT here, so that we can locate where the warning is issued.

It was possible to crash a mysqld build with EXTRA_DEBUG using
CREATE TABLE ... COMMENT with a specially-crafted UTF-8 string.
This CS removes the check that caused it since it no longer
applies in current servers anyway, and adds comments instead
to avoid future confusion.

Also, remove a check that no longer applies and that could lead to
problems in pathological cases.
