When a SP handler is activated, memory is allocated to hold the
MESSAGE_TEXT for the condition that caused the activation.
The problem was that this memory was allocated on the MEM_ROOT belonging
to the stored program. Since this MEM_ROOT is not freed until the
stored program ends, a stored program that causes lots of handler
activations can start using lots of memory. In 5.1 and earlier the
problem did not exist as no MESSAGE_TEXT was allocated if a condition
was raised with a handler present. However, this behavior lead to
a number of other issues such as Bug#23032.
This patch fixes the problem by allocating enough memory for the
necessary MESSAGE_TEXTs in the SP MEM_ROOT when the SP starts and
then re-using this memory each time a handler is activated.
This is the 5.5 version of the patch.

This patch fixes the following bugs:
- Bug#5889: Exit handler for a warning doesn't hide the warning in
trigger
- Bug#9857: Stored procedures: handler for sqlwarning ignored
- Bug#23032: Handlers declared in a SP do not handle warnings generated
in sub-SP
- Bug#36185: Incorrect precedence for warning and exception handlers
The problem was in the way warnings/errors during stored routine execution
were handled. Prior to this patch the logic was as follows:
- when a warning/an error happens: if we're executing a stored routine,
and there is a handler for that warning/error, remember the handler,
ignore the warning/error and continue execution.
- after a stored routine instruction is executed: check for a remembered
handler and activate one (if any).
This logic caused several problems:
- if one instruction generates several warnings (errors) it's impossible
to choose the right handler -- a handler for the first generated
condition was chosen and remembered for activation.
- mess with handling conditions in scopes different from the current one.
- not putting generated warnings/errors into Warning Info (Diagnostic
Area) is against The Standard.
The patch changes the logic as follows:
- Diagnostic Area is cleared on the beginning of each statement that
either is able to generate warnings, or is able to work with tables.
- at the end of a stored routine instruction, Diagnostic Area is left
intact.
- Diagnostic Area is checked after each stored routine instruction. If
an instruction generates several condition, it's now possible to take a
look at all of them and determine an appropriate handler.
multiquery packet).
Background:
- a query can contain multiple SQL statements;
- the server frees resources allocated to process a query when the
whole query is handled. In other words, resources allocated to process
one SQL statement from a multi-statement query are freed when all SQL
statements are handled.
The problem was that the parser allocated a buffer of size of the whole
query for each SQL statement in a multi-statement query. Thus, if a query
had many SQL-statements (so, the query was long), but each SQL statement
was short, ther parser tried to allocate huge amount of memory (number of
small SQL statements * length of the whole query).
The memory was allocated for a so-called "cpp buffer", which is intended to
store pre-processed SQL statement -- SQL text without version specific
comments.
The fix is to allocate memory for the "cpp buffer" once for all SQL
statements (once for a query).
for ALTER TABLE, LOAD DATA).
ROW_COUNT is now assigned according to the following rules:
- In my_ok():
- for DML statements: to the number of affected rows;
- for DDL statements: to 0.
- In my_eof(): to -1 to indicate that there was a result set.
We derive this semantics from the JDBC specification, where int
java.sql.Statement.getUpdateCount() is defined to (sic) "return the
current result as an update count; if the result is a ResultSet
object or there are no more results, -1 is returned".
- In my_error(): to -1 to be compatible with the MySQL C API and
MySQL ODBC driver.
- For SIGNAL statements: to 0 per WL#2110 specification. Zero is used
since that's the "default" value of ROW_COUNT in the diagnostics area.
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
