When installing plugins, there is a missing check
for slash (/) in the path on Windows. Note that on
Windows, both / and \ can be used to separate
directories.
This patch fixes the issue by:
- Adding a FN_DIRSEP symbol for all platforms
consisting of a string of legal directory
separators.
- Adding a charset-aware version of strcspn().
- Adding a check_valid_path() function that uses
my_strcspn() to check if any FN_DIRSEP character
is in the supplied string.
- Using the check_valid_path() function in
sql_plugin.cc and sql_udf.cc (which means
replacing the existing test there).
- fix ~20 warnings about redefinition of HAVE_DLOPEN
This was caused by new ADD_DEFINITIONS(-DHAVE_DLOPEN) inside client library CMakeLists.txt
- fix dlerror() message which ("static build?" ) which is only confusing on Windows,
there is no "static build"
Quoting from the bug report:
The pstack library has been included in MySQL since version
4.0.0. It's useless and should be removed.
Details: According to its own documentation, pstack only works
on Linux on x86 in 32 bit mode and requires LinuxThreads and a
statically linked binary. It doesn't really support any Linux
from 2003 or later and doesn't work on any other OS.
Remove wrappers around inline -- static inline is used without
wrappers throughout the source code. We rely on the compiler or
linker to eliminate unused static functions.
strict aliasing violations.
Post-merge fix: include my_compiler.h before my_attribute.h
as the latter will undef __attribute__ if the compiler is not
GCC. Based on the compiler version, in my_compiler.h we know
for sure whether the aligned attribute is supported. Furthermore,
undefining attribute might cause bugs if some system header
uses it.
strict aliasing violations.
Another rather noisy violation of strict aliasing rules
is the spatial code which makes use of stack-based memory
(of type Geometry_buffer) to provide placement for Geometry
objects. Although a placement new is allowed to dynamically
change the type of a object, the object returned by the
new placement was being ignored and the original stack-based
object was being casted to the new type, thus violating strict
aliasing rules.
The solution is to reorganize the code so that the object
returned by the new placement is used instead of casting the
original object. Also, to ensure that the stack-based object
is properly aligned with respect to the objects it provides
placement for, a set of compiler-dependent macros and types
are introduced so that the alignment of objects can be inquired
and specified.
Although the C standard mandates that sprintf return the number
of bytes written, some very ancient systems (i.e. SunOS 4)
returned a pointer to the buffer instead. Since these systems
are not supported anymore and are hopefully long dead by now,
simply remove the portability wrapper that dealt with this
discrepancy. The autoconf check was causing trouble with GCC.
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.
Apart strict-aliasing warnings, fix the remaining warnings
generated by GCC 4.4.4 -Wall and -Wextra flags.
One major source of warnings was the in-house function my_bcmp
which (unconventionally) took pointers to unsigned characters
as the byte sequences to be compared. Since my_bcmp and bcmp
are deprecated functions whose only difference with memcmp is
the return value, every use of the function is replaced with
memcmp as the special return value wasn't actually being used
by any caller.
There were also various other warnings, mostly due to type
mismatches, missing return values, missing prototypes, dead
code (unreachable) and ignored return values.
POSIX requires that a signal handler defined with sigaction()
is not reset on delivering a signal unless SA_NODEFER or
SA_RESETHAND is set. It is therefore unnecessary to redefine
the handler on signal delivery on platforms where sigaction()
is used without those flags.
Fix various mismatches between function's language linkage. Any
particular function that is declared in C++ but should be callable
from C must have C linkage. Note that function types with different
linkages are also distinct. Thus, if a function type is declared in
C code, it will have C linkage (same if declared in a extern "C"
block).
Several problems addressed:
1. The maximum value for --open_files_limit on non-windows boxes
is now raised to UINT_MAX (the maximum possible without significant
changes in the code). The maximum value on windows is kept to be
2048 due to a known limitation (bug 24509).
2. mysqld_safe now supports --open_files_limit=xx in addition to
--open-files-limit=xx
3. mysqld_safe always passes through --open[_-]files[_-]limit
to the underlying mysqld. It used to pass it through only if it
the user running the script has access to the root directory or
there was an --user argument specified.
4. Fixed a prototype in my_file.c to match its counterpart in
the other #ifdef branch.
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
Two problems addressed here:
Embedded-server linking failure.
sql/sys_vars.cc absents in the libmysqld/CMakeLists.txt
The PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA-related failure of the embedded-server compilation.
We try to disable the PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA in the embedded server
as it's considered useless there. But we do it in wrong way as
we only disable header's links to the PF, not the PF's library itself.
So on Unix-ex the embedded library still contains the PF code and
grows bigger with no reason. On Windows that just fails to compile.
per-file comments:
include/my_global.h
Bug#41103 6.0 Windows embedded-server tests fail
No PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA disabling in the embedded server. User can
just use the --without-perfschema-engine-plugin option to exclude it
from the compilation.
