Setting a key_cache_block_size which is not a power of 2
could corrupt MyISAM tables.
A couple of computations in the key cache code use bit
operations which do only work if key_cache_block_size
is a power of 2.
Replaced bit operations by arithmetic operations
to make key cache able to handle block sizes that are
not a power of 2.
- Removed not used variables and functions
- Added #ifdef around code that is not used
- Renamed variables and functions to avoid conflicts
- Removed some not used arguments
Fixed some class/struct warnings in ndb
Added define IS_LONGDATA() to simplify code in libmysql.c
I did run gcov on the changes and added 'purecov' comments on almost all lines that was not just variable name changes
(Mostly in DBUG_PRINT() and unused arguments)
Fixed bug in query cache when used with traceing (--with-debug)
Fixed memory leak in mysqldump
Removed warnings from mysqltest scripts (replaced -- with #)
The bug caused a reported index corruption in the cases when
key_cache_block_size was not a multiple of myisam_block_size,
e.g. when key_cache_block_size=1536 while myisam_block_size=1024.
- CHAR() now returns binary string as default
- CHAR(X*65536+Y*256+Z) is now equal to CHAR(X,Y,Z) independent of the character set for CHAR()
- Test for both ETIMEDOUT and ETIME from pthread_cond_timedwait()
(Some old systems returns ETIME and it's safer to test for both values
than to try to write a wrapper for each old system)
- Fixed new introduced bug in NOT BETWEEN X and X
- Ensure we call commit_by_xid or rollback_by_xid for all engines, even if one engine has failed
- Use octet2hex() for all conversion of string to hex
- Simplify and optimize code
This patch collects all previous patches into one.
The main problem was due to that there is are two variables -
dflt_key_cache and sql_key_cache with have more or less duplicate
function. The reson for the bug was that the default value in the key
cache hash was set to dflt_key_cache, then sql_key_cache was set to a
new key cache object, and then dflt_key_cache was set to sql_key_cache
which was different from the dflt_key_cache_var. After sending SIGHUP,
the server was using the original default value for the key cache hash,
which was different from the actual key cache object used for the
default key cache.
Added a test case for bug #6447.
mf_keycache.c:
Fixed bug #6447. Erronious code in the key_cache_read function
caused problems when reading key blocks with offset>0 into
key cache. The code of key_cache_insert and key_cache_write
was modified similarly.
Introduced a new free blocks list. Free blocks are now re-used before
new blocks are allocated from the pool. There is a new status variable
which can be queried by "show status like key_blocks_unused".
New multi-key-cache handling. This was needed becasue the old one didn't work reliable with MERGE tables.
ALTER TABLE table_name ... CHARACTER SET ... now changes all char/varchar/text columns to the given character set
(One must use ALTER TABLE ... DEFAULT CHARACTER SET ... to change the default character set)
Fixed that have_compress is detected properly (fixes problems with func_compress.test on platforms without zlib)
New syntax for CACHE INDEX ('keys' is optional if no index name is given and one mentions the key cache name only ones)
Removed compiler warnings
Added mysql_set_server_option() to allow clients like PHP to easaily set/reset the multi-statement flag.
Added key cache parameters for midpoint insertion strategy
Many files:
Added midpoint insertion strategy for key cache
mi_test2.c:
Added a parameter to resize_key_cache
