- Add build configuration parameter EMBEDDED_ONLY which will configure
the VS solution to produce only mysql embedded binary.
- Make necessary updates to successfully compile solution.
In many cases, binaries can no longer dump core after calling setuid().
Where the PR_SET_DUMPABLE macro is set, use the prctl() system call
to tell the kernel that it's allowed to dump the core of the server.
If we have lower_case_table_names == 2 (usually on case insensitive file
systems) we sometimes make 'homedir' part of the path sent to the
handler into lowercase. So in this case HEAP engine couldn't properly
find and remove HP_SHARE, what caused the bug.
When a Windows console application that has an open console (e.g. mysqld-nt
started with the --console option) encounters certain type of errors
(like no floppy disk in a floppy drive) the OS will pop-up an
"abort/retry/ignore" dialog and block the application (depending on a
registry setting : see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/embedded/aa731206.aspx
for details).
Fixed by disabling the dialog popups for every error except a GPF and
alignment errors. This is safe to do as the actual error gets reported
(and handled) to mysqld.
- A race condition caused brief unavailablility when trying to acccess
a table.
- The unprotected variable 'grant_option' wasn't intended to alternate
during normal execution. Variable initialization moved to grant_init
a lines responsible for the alternation are removed.
When storing a large number to a FLOAT or DOUBLE field with fixed length, it could be incorrectly truncated if the field's length was greater than 31.
This patch also does some code cleanups to be able to reuse code which is common between Field_float::store() and Field_double::store().
On some Linux distributions with both LinuxThreads and NPTL glibc versions available, statically built binaries can crash, because linker defaults to LinuxThreads when linking statically, but calls to external libraries (like libnss) are resolved to NPTL versions.
Since there is nothing we can do in the code to work that around, just give user an advice on how to fix that, if a crash happened on such a binary/OS combination.
Command line and configuration file option 'key_cache_block_size'
was reduced by MALLOC_OVERHEAD (8 in a production server, 36 in a
debug server) from the user supplied value and restricted it to
the greatest multiple of 512 less or equal to the reduced value.
This patch changes option 'key_cache_block_size' to not deduce
MALLOC_OVERHEAD from the input value. However, the restriction
to a multiple of 512 is still done.
The following type conversions was done:
- Changed byte to uchar
- Changed gptr to uchar*
- Change my_string to char *
- Change my_size_t to size_t
- Change size_s to size_t
Removed declaration of byte, gptr, my_string, my_size_t and size_s.
Following function parameter changes was done:
- All string functions in mysys/strings was changed to use size_t
instead of uint for string lengths.
- All read()/write() functions changed to use size_t (including vio).
- All protocoll functions changed to use size_t instead of uint
- Functions that used a pointer to a string length was changed to use size_t*
- Changed malloc(), free() and related functions from using gptr to use void *
as this requires fewer casts in the code and is more in line with how the
standard functions work.
- Added extra length argument to dirname_part() to return the length of the
created string.
- Changed (at least) following functions to take uchar* as argument:
- db_dump()
- my_net_write()
- net_write_command()
- net_store_data()
- DBUG_DUMP()
- decimal2bin() & bin2decimal()
- Changed my_compress() and my_uncompress() to use size_t. Changed one
argument to my_uncompress() from a pointer to a value as we only return
one value (makes function easier to use).
- Changed type of 'pack_data' argument to packfrm() to avoid casts.
- Changed in readfrm() and writefrom(), ha_discover and handler::discover()
the type for argument 'frmdata' to uchar** to avoid casts.
- Changed most Field functions to use uchar* instead of char* (reduced a lot of
casts).
- Changed field->val_xxx(xxx, new_ptr) to take const pointers.
Other changes:
- Removed a lot of not needed casts
- Added a few new cast required by other changes
- Added some cast to my_multi_malloc() arguments for safety (as string lengths
needs to be uint, not size_t).
- Fixed all calls to hash-get-key functions to use size_t*. (Needed to be done
explicitely as this conflict was often hided by casting the function to
hash_get_key).
- Changed some buffers to memory regions to uchar* to avoid casts.
- Changed some string lengths from uint to size_t.
- Changed field->ptr to be uchar* instead of char*. This allowed us to
get rid of a lot of casts.
- Some changes from true -> TRUE, false -> FALSE, unsigned char -> uchar
- Include zlib.h in some files as we needed declaration of crc32()
- Changed MY_FILE_ERROR to be (size_t) -1.
- Changed many variables to hold the result of my_read() / my_write() to be
size_t. This was needed to properly detect errors (which are
returned as (size_t) -1).
- Removed some very old VMS code
- Changed packfrm()/unpackfrm() to not be depending on uint size
(portability fix)
- Removed windows specific code to restore cursor position as this
causes slowdown on windows and we should not mix read() and pread()
calls anyway as this is not thread safe. Updated function comment to
reflect this. Changed function that depended on original behavior of
my_pwrite() to itself restore the cursor position (one such case).
- Added some missing checking of return value of malloc().
- Changed definition of MOD_PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH to avoid 'long' overflow.
- Changed type of table_def::m_size from my_size_t to ulong to reflect that
m_size is the number of elements in the array, not a string/memory
length.
- Moved THD::max_row_length() to table.cc (as it's not depending on THD).
Inlined max_row_length_blob() into this function.
- More function comments
- Fixed some compiler warnings when compiled without partitions.
- Removed setting of LEX_STRING() arguments in declaration (portability fix).
- Some trivial indentation/variable name changes.
- Some trivial code simplifications:
- Replaced some calls to alloc_root + memcpy to use
strmake_root()/strdup_root().
- Changed some calls from memdup() to strmake() (Safety fix)
- Simpler loops in client-simple.c
Fix tests when InnoDB is not built-in. Innodb options would cause
mysqld to abort with an error indicating that the option is unknown.
Fix tests on Windows where mysql-test-run.pl was unable to probe
mysqld for version and variables information, caused by output
being redirected to a log file instead.
