The problem was that symlink.test failed due to debug assertions or
due to errors emitted for wrong statements (in non-debug builds)
if 6.0 version of server was run with --thread-handling=pool-of-threads
option.
The above problems were caused by that on the one hand code mi_create()
which handles case when error is returned relies on my_errno being set
to appropriate non-0 value, but on the other it has not done this
in case when error was emitted due to discovery that share for table
which we are going to create is already present in the list of open
shares. Running server with pool-of-threads option just exposed this
bug since in this scheduler mode my_errno is reset to 0 when connection
(THD) is reattached to the "real" thread.
This fix ensures that code in mi_create() properly sets my_errno in
the case described above.
Since original reason that caused this bug to be exposed in 6.0 tree
might also under very special conditions lead to incorrect behavior
of earlier versions of server (i.e. to errors emitted for wrong
statements) this patch is also being pushed into 5.1 tree.
No test case is present as this code is already covered by a test
case + pushbuild options combination in 6.0.
- Reserver namespace and place in frm for TABLE_CHECKSUM and PAGE_CHECKSUM create options
- Added syncing of directory when creating .frm files
- Portability fixes
- Added missing cast that could cause bugs
- Code cleanups
- Made some bit functions inline
- Moved things out of myisam.h to my_handler.h to make them more accessable
- Renamed some myisam variables and defines to make them more globaly usable (as they are used outside of MyISAM)
- Fixed bugs in error conditions
- Use compiler time asserts instead of run time
- Fixed indentation
HA_EXTRA_PREPARE_FOR_DELETE -> HA_EXTRA_PREPARE_FOR_DROP as the old name was wrong
(Added a define for old value to ensure we don't break any old code)
Added HA_EXTRA_PREPARE_FOR_RENAME as a signal for rename (before we used a DROP signal which is wrong)
- Initialize error messages early to get better errors when mysqld or an engine fails to start
- Fix windows bug that query_performance_frequency was not initialized if registry code failed
- thread_stack -> my_thread_stack_size
The following type conversions was done:
- Changed byte to uchar
- Changed gptr to uchar*
- Change my_string to char *
- Change my_size_t to size_t
- Change size_s to size_t
Removed declaration of byte, gptr, my_string, my_size_t and size_s.
Following function parameter changes was done:
- All string functions in mysys/strings was changed to use size_t
instead of uint for string lengths.
- All read()/write() functions changed to use size_t (including vio).
- All protocoll functions changed to use size_t instead of uint
- Functions that used a pointer to a string length was changed to use size_t*
- Changed malloc(), free() and related functions from using gptr to use void *
as this requires fewer casts in the code and is more in line with how the
standard functions work.
- Added extra length argument to dirname_part() to return the length of the
created string.
- Changed (at least) following functions to take uchar* as argument:
- db_dump()
- my_net_write()
- net_write_command()
- net_store_data()
- DBUG_DUMP()
- decimal2bin() & bin2decimal()
- Changed my_compress() and my_uncompress() to use size_t. Changed one
argument to my_uncompress() from a pointer to a value as we only return
one value (makes function easier to use).
- Changed type of 'pack_data' argument to packfrm() to avoid casts.
- Changed in readfrm() and writefrom(), ha_discover and handler::discover()
the type for argument 'frmdata' to uchar** to avoid casts.
- Changed most Field functions to use uchar* instead of char* (reduced a lot of
casts).
- Changed field->val_xxx(xxx, new_ptr) to take const pointers.
Other changes:
- Removed a lot of not needed casts
- Added a few new cast required by other changes
- Added some cast to my_multi_malloc() arguments for safety (as string lengths
needs to be uint, not size_t).
- Fixed all calls to hash-get-key functions to use size_t*. (Needed to be done
explicitely as this conflict was often hided by casting the function to
hash_get_key).
- Changed some buffers to memory regions to uchar* to avoid casts.
- Changed some string lengths from uint to size_t.
- Changed field->ptr to be uchar* instead of char*. This allowed us to
get rid of a lot of casts.
- Some changes from true -> TRUE, false -> FALSE, unsigned char -> uchar
- Include zlib.h in some files as we needed declaration of crc32()
- Changed MY_FILE_ERROR to be (size_t) -1.
- Changed many variables to hold the result of my_read() / my_write() to be
size_t. This was needed to properly detect errors (which are
returned as (size_t) -1).
- Removed some very old VMS code
- Changed packfrm()/unpackfrm() to not be depending on uint size
(portability fix)
- Removed windows specific code to restore cursor position as this
causes slowdown on windows and we should not mix read() and pread()
calls anyway as this is not thread safe. Updated function comment to
reflect this. Changed function that depended on original behavior of
my_pwrite() to itself restore the cursor position (one such case).
- Added some missing checking of return value of malloc().
- Changed definition of MOD_PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH to avoid 'long' overflow.
- Changed type of table_def::m_size from my_size_t to ulong to reflect that
m_size is the number of elements in the array, not a string/memory
length.
- Moved THD::max_row_length() to table.cc (as it's not depending on THD).
Inlined max_row_length_blob() into this function.
- More function comments
- Fixed some compiler warnings when compiled without partitions.
- Removed setting of LEX_STRING() arguments in declaration (portability fix).
- Some trivial indentation/variable name changes.
- Some trivial code simplifications:
- Replaced some calls to alloc_root + memcpy to use
strmake_root()/strdup_root().
- Changed some calls from memdup() to strmake() (Safety fix)
- Simpler loops in client-simple.c
on packed MyISAM tables
When fixing the indexes with "myisamchk -rq" after compressing
the table with "myisampack", an optionally supplied extension
".MYI" of the index file was not detected. The extension was
appended unconditionally. The result was ".MYI.MYI".
Now an extension is no longer appended if present already.
Thanks to David Shrewsbury for providing this patch.
Another problem was a misplaced parenthesis. We did never unpack
the file name ("~/..") and always returned a real path.
No test case. This is manually tested with the utilities
"myisampack" and "myisamchk".
Added support for key_block_size to MyISAM.
Simplify interface to 'new Key' to make it easier to add new key options.
mysqld option --new is used to define where key options are printed.
(In 5.3 we should move all key options to after key part definition to avoid problem with reserved names)
Fixed some compiler warnings and a memory leak in ssl
- Encoding itself, implemented as a charset
"filename". Originally planned to use '.'
as an escape character, but now changed to '@'
for two reasons: "ls" does not return
file names starting with '.' considering them
as a kind of hidden files; some platforms
do not allow several dots in a file name.
- replacing many calls of my_snprintf() and
strnxmov() to the new build_table_filename().
- Adding MY_APPEND_EXT mysys flag, to append
an extention rather that replace it.
- Replacing all numeric constants in fn_format
flag arguments to their mysys definitions, e.g.
MY_UNPACK_FILENAME,
- Predictability in several function/methods:
when a table name can appear with or withot .frm
extension. Some functions/methods were changed
so accept names strictly with .frm, other - strictly
without .frm extensions. Several DBUG_ASSERTs were
added to check whether an extension is passed.
Many files:
table name to file name encoding
mysql_priv.h:
Prototypes for new table name encoding tools.
ctype-utf8.c:
Implementing "filename" charset for
table name to file name encoding.
row0mysql.c:
Fixing table name prefix.
mf_format.c:
Adding MY_APPEND_EXT processing.
Many files:
Fixing tests.
my_sys.h:
Adding new flag to append rather than replace an extension.
m_ctype.h:
Adding "filename" charset definition.
