Handle string length as size_t, consistently (almost always:))
Change function prototypes to accept size_t, where in the past
ulong or uint were used. change local/member variables to size_t
when appropriate.
This fix excludes rocksdb, spider,spider, sphinx and connect for now.
This was done in, among other things:
- thd->db and thd->db_length
- TABLE_LIST tablename, db, alias and schema_name
- Audit plugin database name
- lex->db
- All db and table names in Alter_table_ctx
- st_select_lex db
Other things:
- Changed a lot of functions to take const LEX_CSTRING* as argument
for db, table_name and alias. See init_one_table() as an example.
- Changed some function arguments from LEX_CSTRING to const LEX_CSTRING
- Changed some lists from LEX_STRING to LEX_CSTRING
- threads_mysql.result changed because process list_db wasn't always
correctly updated
- New append_identifier() function that takes LEX_CSTRING* as arguments
- Added new element tmp_buff to Alter_table_ctx to separate temp name
handling from temporary space
- Ensure we store the length after my_casedn_str() of table/db names
- Removed not used version of rename_table_in_stat_tables()
- Changed Natural_join_column::table_name and db_name() to never return
NULL (used for print)
- thd->get_db() now returns db as a printable string (thd->db.str or "")
- Simplified use_trans_cache() to return at once if is_transactional is set
- Indentation and spelling errors fixed
- Don't call signal_update() if update_binlog_end_pos() is called as the
function already calls signal_update()
- Removed not used function wait_for_update_bin_log(), which would cause
errors if ever used.
- Simplified handler::clone() by always allocating 'ref' in ha_open(). To do
this I added an optional MEM_ROOT argument to ha_open() to be used when
allocating 'ref'
- Changed arguments to get_system_var() from LEX_CSTRING to LEX_CSTRING*
- Added THD as argument to create_select_for_variable(). Changed also char*
argument to LEX_CSTRING to avoid strlen() call.
- Change calls to append() to use LEX_CSTRING
Benefits of this patch:
- Removed a lot of calls to strlen(), especially for field_string
- Strings generated by parser are now const strings, less chance of
accidently changing a string
- Removed a lot of calls with LEX_STRING as parameter (changed to pointer)
- More uniform code
- Item::name_length was not kept up to date. Now fixed
- Several bugs found and fixed (Access to null pointers,
access of freed memory, wrong arguments to printf like functions)
- Removed a lot of casts from (const char*) to (char*)
Changes:
- This caused some ABI changes
- lex_string_set now uses LEX_CSTRING
- Some fucntions are now taking const char* instead of char*
- Create_field::change and after changed to LEX_CSTRING
- handler::connect_string, comment and engine_name() changed to LEX_CSTRING
- Checked printf() related calls to find bugs. Found and fixed several
errors in old code.
- A lot of changes from LEX_STRING to LEX_CSTRING, especially related to
parsing and events.
- Some changes from LEX_STRING and LEX_STRING & to LEX_CSTRING*
- Some changes for char* to const char*
- Added printf argument checking for my_snprintf()
- Introduced null_clex_str, star_clex_string, temp_lex_str to simplify
code
- Added item_empty_name and item_used_name to be able to distingush between
items that was given an empty name and items that was not given a name
This is used in sql_yacc.yy to know when to give an item a name.
- select table_name."*' is not anymore same as table_name.*
- removed not used function Item::rename()
- Added comparision of item->name_length before some calls to
my_strcasecmp() to speed up comparison
- Moved Item_sp_variable::make_field() from item.h to item.cc
- Some minimal code changes to avoid copying to const char *
- Fixed wrong error message in wsrep_mysql_parse()
- Fixed wrong code in find_field_in_natural_join() where real_item() was
set when it shouldn't
- ER_ERROR_ON_RENAME was used with extra arguments.
- Removed some (wrong) ER_OUTOFMEMORY, as alloc_root will already
give the error.
TODO:
- Check possible unsafe casts in plugin/auth_examples/qa_auth_interface.c
- Change code to not modify LEX_CSTRING for database name
(as part of lower_case_table_names)
This is similar to MysQL Worklog 3253, but with
a different implementation. The disk format and
SQL syntax is identical with MySQL 5.7.
Fetures supported:
- "Any" ammount of any trigger
- Supports FOLLOWS and PRECEDES to be
able to put triggers in a certain execution order.
Implementation details:
- Class Trigger added to hold information about a trigger.
Before this trigger information was stored in a set of lists in
Table_triggers_list and in Table_triggers_list::bodies
- Each Trigger has a next field that poinst to the next Trigger with the
same action and time.
- When accessing a trigger, we now always access all linked triggers
- The list are now only used to load and save trigger files.
- MySQL trigger test case (trigger_wl3253) added and we execute these
identically.
- Even more gracefully handling of wrong trigger files than before. This
is useful if a trigger file uses functions or syntax not provided by
the server.
- Each trigger now has a "Created" field that shows when the trigger was
created, with 2 decimals.
Other comments:
- Many of the changes in test files was done because of the new "Created"
field in the trigger file. This shows up in SHOW ... TRIGGER and when
using information_schema.trigger.
- Don't check if all memory is released if on uses --gdb; This is needed
to be able to get a list from safemalloc of not freed memory while
debugging.
- Added option to trim_whitespace() to know how many prefix characters
was skipped.
- Changed a few ulonglong sql_mode to sql_mode_t, to find some wrong usage
of sql_mode.
