(Backport Varun Gupta's patch + edit the commit comment)
Name resolution code produced errors for valid queries with window
functions (but not for queries which used aggregate functions as
window functions).
Name resolution code worked incorrectly, because window function
objects had is_window_func_sum_expr()=false. This was so, because
mark_as_window_func_sum_expr() was only called for aggregate functions
used as window functions.
The fix is to call it for any window function.
Changes:
- To detect automatic strlen() I removed the methods in String that
uses 'const char *' without a length:
- String::append(const char*)
- Binary_string(const char *str)
- String(const char *str, CHARSET_INFO *cs)
- append_for_single_quote(const char *)
All usage of append(const char*) is changed to either use
String::append(char), String::append(const char*, size_t length) or
String::append(LEX_CSTRING)
- Added STRING_WITH_LEN() around constant string arguments to
String::append()
- Added overflow argument to escape_string_for_mysql() and
escape_quotes_for_mysql() instead of returning (size_t) -1 on overflow.
This was needed as most usage of the above functions never tested the
result for -1 and would have given wrong results or crashes in case
of overflows.
- Added Item_func_or_sum::func_name_cstring(), which returns LEX_CSTRING.
Changed all Item_func::func_name()'s to func_name_cstring()'s.
The old Item_func_or_sum::func_name() is now an inline function that
returns func_name_cstring().str.
- Changed Item::mode_name() and Item::func_name_ext() to return
LEX_CSTRING.
- Changed for some functions the name argument from const char * to
to const LEX_CSTRING &:
- Item::Item_func_fix_attributes()
- Item::check_type_...()
- Type_std_attributes::agg_item_collations()
- Type_std_attributes::agg_item_set_converter()
- Type_std_attributes::agg_arg_charsets...()
- Type_handler_hybrid_field_type::aggregate_for_result()
- Type_handler_geometry::check_type_geom_or_binary()
- Type_handler::Item_func_or_sum_illegal_param()
- Predicant_to_list_comparator::add_value_skip_null()
- Predicant_to_list_comparator::add_value()
- cmp_item_row::prepare_comparators()
- cmp_item_row::aggregate_row_elements_for_comparison()
- Cursor_ref::print_func()
- Removes String_space() as it was only used in one cases and that
could be simplified to not use String_space(), thanks to the fixed
my_vsnprintf().
- Added some const LEX_CSTRING's for common strings:
- NULL_clex_str, DATA_clex_str, INDEX_clex_str.
- Changed primary_key_name to a LEX_CSTRING
- Renamed String::set_quick() to String::set_buffer_if_not_allocated() to
clarify what the function really does.
- Rename of protocol function:
bool store(const char *from, CHARSET_INFO *cs) to
bool store_string_or_null(const char *from, CHARSET_INFO *cs).
This was done to both clarify the difference between this 'store' function
and also to make it easier to find unoptimal usage of store() calls.
- Added Protocol::store(const LEX_CSTRING*, CHARSET_INFO*)
- Changed some 'const char*' arrays to instead be of type LEX_CSTRING.
- class Item_func_units now used LEX_CSTRING for name.
Other things:
- Fixed a bug in mysql.cc:construct_prompt() where a wrong escape character
in the prompt would cause some part of the prompt to be duplicated.
- Fixed a lot of instances where the length of the argument to
append is known or easily obtain but was not used.
- Removed some not needed 'virtual' definition for functions that was
inherited from the parent. I added override to these.
- Fixed Ordered_key::print() to preallocate needed buffer. Old code could
case memory overruns.
- Simplified some loops when adding char * to a String with delimiters.
This was done to simplify copying of with_* flags
Other things:
- Changed Flags to C++ enums, which enables gdb to print
out bit values for the flags. This also enables compiler
errors if one tries to manipulate a non existing bit in
a variable.
- Added set_maybe_null() as a shortcut as setting the
MAYBE_NULL flags was used in a LOT of places.
- Renamed PARAM flag to SP_VAR to ensure it's not confused with persistent
statement parameters.
The reason for the change is that neither clang or gcc can do efficient
code when several bit fields are change at the same time or when copying
one or more bits between identical bit fields.
Updated bits explicitely with & and | is MUCH more efficient than what
current compilers can do.
Added back variable 'with_subquery' to Item class as a bit field.
This made the code shorter, faster (removed some virtual methods,
less code to create an initialized item etc) and made many Item's 7 bytes
smaller.
This is the last set of my patches the decreases the size of Item.
Some examples from gdb:
sizeof(Item): 144 -> 120
sizeof(Item_func) 208 -> 184
sizeof(Item_sum_max) 368 -> 344
Added back variable 'with_sum_func' to Item class as a bit field.
This made the code shorter, faster (removed some virtual methods,
less code to create an initialized item etc) and made many Item's 7 bytes
smaller.
The code is also easier to understand as 'with_sum_func' is threated as any
other Item variable when creating or copying items.
fix_fields for the arguments of the NTH_VALUE function was updating the same reference,
so for the second argument (or after the first argument) the items were not resolved
to their corresponding field from the view as they were updating the reference to the
first argument.
Removed an unnecessary ifndef which was printing the window name for a named
window only in the case of debug build. The print() for the window function
should behave in the same way on both release and debug builds.
The syntax error happened because we had not implemented a different print for
percentile functions. The syntax is a bit different when we use percentile functions
as window functions in comparision to normal window functions.
Implemented a seperate print function for percentile functions
The problem described in the bug report happened because the code
did not test check_cols(1) after fix_fields() in a few places.
Additionally, fix_fields() could be called multiple times for SP variables,
because they are all fixed at a early stage in append_for_log().
Solution:
1. Adding a few helper methods
- fix_fields_if_needed()
- fix_fields_if_needed_for_scalar()
- fix_fields_if_needed_for_bool()
- fix_fields_if_needed_for_order_by()
and using it in many cases instead of fix_fields() where
the "fixed" status is not definitely known to be "false".
2. Adding DBUG_ASSERT(!fixed) into Item_splocal*::fix_fields()
to catch double execution.
3. Adding tests.
As a good side effect, the patch removes a lot of duplicate code (~60 lines):
if (!item->fixed &&
item->fix_fields(..) &&
item->check_cols(1))
return true;
