mcsconfig.h and my_config.h have the following
pre-processor definitions:
1. Conflicting definitions coming from the standard cmake definitions:
- PACKAGE
- PACKAGE_BUGREPORT
- PACKAGE_NAME
- PACKAGE_STRING
- PACKAGE_TARNAME
- PACKAGE_VERSION
- VERSION
2. Conflicting definitions of other kinds:
- HAVE_STRTOLL - this is a dirt in MariaDB headers.
Should be fixed in the server code. my_config.h erroneously
performs "#define HAVE_STRTOLL" instead of "#define HAVE_STRTOLL 1".
in some cases. The former is not CMake compatible style. The latter is.
3. Non-conflicting definitions:
Otherwise, mcsconfig.h and my_config.h should be mutually compatible,
because both are generated by cmake on the same host machine. So
they should have exactly equal definitions like "HAVE_XXX", "SIZEOF_XXX", etc.
Observations:
- It's OK to include both mcsconfig.h and my_config.h providing that we
suppress duplicate definition of the above conflicting types #1 and #2.
- There is no a need to suppress duplicate definitions mentioned in #3,
as they are compatible!
- my_sys.h and m_ctype.h must always follow a CMake configuation header,
either my_config.h or mcsconfig.h (or both).
They must never be included without any preceeding configuration header.
This change make sure that we resolve conflicts by:
- either disallowing inclusion of mcsconfig.h and my_config.h
at the same time
- or by hiding conflicting definitions #1 and #2
(with their later restoring).
- also, by making sure that my_sys.h and m_ctype.h always follow
a CMake configuration file.
Details:
- idb_mysql.h can now only be included only after my_config.h
An attempt to use idb_mysql.h with mcsconfig.h instead of
my_config.h is caught by the "#error" preprocessor directive.
- mariadb_my_sys.h can now be only included after mcsconfig.h.
An attempt to use mariadb_my_sys.h without mcscofig.h
(e.g. with my_config.h) is also caught by "#error".
- collation.h now can now be included in two ways.
It now has the following effective structure:
#if defined(PREFER_MY_CONFIG_H) && defined(MY_CONFIG_H)
// Remember current conflicting definitions on the preprocessor stack
// Undefine current conflicting definitions
#endif
#include "mcsconfig.h"
#include "m_ctype.h"
#if defined(PREFER_MY_CONFIG_H) && defined(MY_CONFIG_H)
# Restore conflicting definitions from the preprocessor stack
#endif
and can be included as follows:
a. using only mcsconfig.h as a configuration header:
// my_config.h must not be included so far
#include "collation.h"
b. using my_config.h as the first included configuration file:
#define PREFER_MY_CONFIG_H // Force conflict resolution
#include "my_config.h" // can be included directly or indirectly
...
#include "collation.h"
Other changes:
- Adding helper header files
utils/common/mcsconfig_conflicting_defs_remember.h
utils/common/mcsconfig_conflicting_defs_restore.h
utils/common/mcsconfig_conflicting_defs_undef.h
to perform conflict resolution easier.
- Removing `#include "collation.h"` from a number of files,
as it's automatically included from rowgroup.h.
- Removing redundant `#include "utils_utf8.h"`.
This change is not directly related to the problem being fixed,
but it's nice to remove redundant directives for both collation.h
and utils_utf8.h from all the files that do not really need them.
(this change could probably have gone as a separate commit)
- Changing my_init() to MY_INIT(argv[0]) in the MCS services sources.
After the fix of the complitation failure it appeared that ColumnStore
services compiled with the debug build crash due to recent changes in
safemalloc. The crash happened in strcmp() with `my_progname` as an argument
(where my_progname is a mysys global variable). This problem should
probably be fixed on the server side as well to avoid passing NULL.
But, the majority of MariaDB executable programs also use MY_INIT(argv[0])
rather than my_init(). So let's make MCS do like the other programs do.
For the initial BLOB/TEXT pull request we put them in the same bucket as
VARBINARY, forcing many functions to be disabled. This patch enables the
same TEXT function support as VARCHAR.
