Background :
In mysql-5.1, in a fix for bug#47485, code has been changed for
mysql client (libmysql/libmysql.c) but corresponding code was not
changed for embedded mysql. In that code change, after execution
of a statement, mysql_stmt_store_result() checks for mysql->state
to be MYSQL_STATUS_STATEMENT_GET_RESULT, instead of
MYSQL_STATUS_GET_RESULT (earlier).
Reason:
In embedded mysql code, after execution, mysql->state was not
set to MYSQL_STATUS_STATEMENT_GET_RESULT, so it was throwing
OUT_OF_SYNC error.
Fix:
Fixed the code in libmysqld/lib_sql.cc to have mysql->state
to be set to MYSQL_STATUS_STATEMENT_GET_RESULT after execution.
GCC 4.6 has new -Wunused-but-set-variable flag, which is enabled
by -Wall, that causes GCC to emit a warning whenever a local variable
is assigned to, but otherwise unused (aside from its declaration).
Since the maintainer mode uses -Wall and -Werror, source code which
triggers these warnings will be rejected. That is, these warnings
become hard errors.
The solution is to fix the code which triggers these specific warnings.
In most of the cases, this is a welcome cleanup as code which triggers
this warning is probably dead anyway.
Issue:
While running embedded server, if client issues TEE command (\T foo/bar) and
"foo/bar" directory doesn't exist, it is suppose to give error. But it was
aborting. This was happening because wrong error handler was being called.
Solution:
Modified calls to correct error handler. In embedded server case, there are
two error handler (client and server) which are supposed to be called based
on which context code is in. If it is in client context, client error handler
should be called otherwise server.
Test case:
Test case automation is not possible as current (following) code doesn't
allow '\T' to be executed from command line (OR command read from a file):
[client/mysql.cc]
...
static int
com_tee(String *buffer __attribute__((unused)),
char *line __attribute__((unused)))
{
char file_name[FN_REFLEN], *end, *param;
if (status.batch) << THIS IS TRUE WHILE EXECUTING FROM COMMAND LINE.
return 0;
...
So, not adding test case in GA. WIll add a test case in mysql-trunk after
removing above code so that this could be properly tested before GA.
Issue:
When libmysqld/example/mysql_embedded is executed, it was getting abort. Its a
regression as it was working in 5.1 and failed in 5.5. Issue is there because
remaining_argc/remaining_argv were not getting assigned correctly in
init_embedded_server() which were being used later in init_common_variable().
Solution:
Rectified code to pass correct argc/argv to be used in init_common_variable().
- Removed files specific to compiling on OS/2
- Removed files specific to SCO Unix packaging
- Removed "libmysqld/copyright", text is included in documentation
- Removed LaTeX headers for NDB Doxygen documentation
- Removed obsolete NDB files
- Removed "mkisofs" binaries
- Removed the "cvs2cl.pl" script
- Changed a few GPL texts to use "program" instead of "library"
The autotools-based build system has been superseded and
is being removed in order to ease the maintenance burden on
developers tweaking and maintaining the build system.
In order to support tools that need to extract the server
version, a new file that (only) contains the server version,
called VERSION, is introduced. The file contents are human
and machine-readable. The format is:
MYSQL_VERSION_MAJOR=5
MYSQL_VERSION_MINOR=5
MYSQL_VERSION_PATCH=8
MYSQL_VERSION_EXTRA=-rc
The CMake based version extraction in cmake/mysql_version.cmake
is changed to extract the version from this file. The configure
to CMake wrapper is retained for backwards compatibility and to
support the BUILD/ scripts. Also, a new a makefile target
show-dist-name that prints the server version is introduced.
- Add ARG_LINK_LIBRARIES to MYSQLD_STATIC_PLUGIN_LIBS in
MYSQL_ADD_PLUGIN so that any libraries listed by the plugin is
added to libmysqld
- remove the variables NDB_CLIENT_LIBS and NDB_CLUSTER_INCLUDES
from libmysqld/CMakeLists.txt since those are just old remnants
If a relative path is supplied to option --defaults-file or
--defaults-extra-file, the server will crash when executing
an INSTALL PLUGIN command. The reason is that the defaults
file is initially read relative the current working directory
when the server is started, but when INSTALL PLUGIN is executed,
the server has changed working directory to the data directory.
Since there is no check that the call to my_load_defaults()
inside mysql_install_plugin(), the subsequence call to
free_defaults() will crash the server.
This patch fixes the problem by:
- Prepending the current working directory to the file name when
a relative path is given to the --defaults-file or --defaults-
extra-file option the first time my_load_defaults() is called,
which is just after the server has started in main().
- Adding a check of the return value of my_load_defaults() inside
mysql_install_plugin() and aborting command (with an error) if
an error is returned.
- It also adds a check of the return value for load_defaults in
lib_sql.cc for the embedded server since that was missing.
To test that the relative files for the options --defaults-file and
--defaults-extra-file is handled properly, mysql-test-run.pl is also
changed to not add a --defaults-file option if one is provided in the
tests *.opt file.
thread-specific variables weren't set when we load error message files.

locks on the table
Fixing the partitioning specifics after TRUNCATE TABLE in
bug-42643 was fixed.
Reorganize of code to decrease the size of the giant switch
in mysql_execute_command, and to prepare for future parser
reengineering. Moved code into Sql_statement objects.
Updated patch according to davi's review comments.
of the "embedded" server
Problem: mysqltest_embedded failed to load ha_innodb_plugin library
on some platforms (due to some unresolved references).
Fix: on FreeBSD use -export-dynamic flag building mysqltest_embedded.
That allows to use its global symbols to resolve references in the
dynamically loaded plugin library.
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.
