Before this fix, the server did not recognize 'short' (as in -a)
options but only 'long' (as in --ansi) options
in the startup command line, due to earlier changes in 5.5
introduced for the performance schema.
The root cause is that handle_options() did not honor the
my_getopt_skip_unknown flag when parsing 'short' options.
The fix changes handle_options(), so that my_getopt_skip_unknown is
honored in all cases.
Note that there are limitations to this,
see the added doxygen documentation in handle_options().
The current usage of handle_options() by the server to
parse early performance schema options fits within the limitations.
This has been enforced by an assert for PARSE_EARLY options, for safety.
my_thread_global_end() now sets mysql_thread_basic_global_init_done= 0
to ensure destroyed mutexes are not reused.
I verified that clearing this flag will not result in the redundant allocation
of other resources allocated by my_thread_global_init() and
my_thread_basic_global_init().
FLUSH TABLES <list> WITH READ LOCK are incompatible" to
be pushed as separate patch.
Replaced thread state name "Waiting for table", which was
used by threads waiting for a metadata lock or table flush,
with a set of names which better reflect types of resources
being waited for.
Also replaced "Table lock" thread state name, which was used
by threads waiting on thr_lock.c table level lock, with more
elaborate "Waiting for table level lock", to make it
more consistent with other thread state names.
Updated test cases and their results according to these
changes.
Fixed sys_vars.query_cache_wlock_invalidate_func test to not
to wait for timeout of wait_condition.inc script.
Reverted the ulong->uint diff
Re-applied the first diff.
The original commit message follows:
enum plugin system variables are ulong internally, not int.
On systems where long is not the same as an int it causes
problems.
Fixed by correct typecasting. Removed the test from the
experimental list.
The enum system variables were handled inconsistently
as ints, unsigned int and unsigned long on various places.
This caused problems on platforms on which
sizeof(int) != sizeof(long).
Fixed by homogenizing the type of the enum variables
to unsigned int, since it's size compatible with the C enum
type.
Removed the test from the experimental list.
With statement- or mixed-mode logging, "LOAD DATA INFILE" queries
are written to the binlog using special types of log events.
When mysqlbinlog reads such events, it re-creates the file in a
temporary directory with a generated filename and outputs a
"LOAD DATA INFILE" query where the filename is replaced by the
generated file. The temporary file is not deleted by mysqlbinlog
after termination.
To fix the problem, in mixed mode we go to row-based. In SBR, we
document it to remind user the tmpfile is left in a temporary
directory.
* Fixed obvious errors (HAVE_BROKEN_PREAD is not true for on any
of systems we use, definitely not on HPUX)
* Remove other junk flags for OSX and HPUX
* Avoid checking type sizes in universal builds on OSX, again
(CMake2.8.0 fails is different architectures return different results)
* Do not compile template instantiation stuff unless
EXPLICIT_TEMPLATE_INSTANTIATION is used.
* Some cleanup (make gen_lex_hash simpler, avoid dependencies)
* Exclude some unused files from compilation (strtol.c etc)
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.
Fix warnings flagged by the new warning option -Wunused-but-set-variable
that was added to GCC 4.6 and that is enabled by -Wunused and -Wall. The
option causes a warning whenever a local variable is assigned to but is
later unused. It also warns about meaningless pointer dereferences.
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.
