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
- The function build_table_filename() builds up a string unconditionally
using the forward slash as a path separator. Later, when the string is
searched for FN_LIBCHAR by the set_up_table_before_create() function, a
null pointer is returned that is finally used by strlen in the
append_file_to_dir() function which causes the crash.
NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO mode.
In the NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO mode the table->auto_increment_field_not_null
variable is used to indicate that a non-NULL value was specified by the user
for an auto_increment column. When an INSERT .. ON DUPLICATE updates the
auto_increment field this variable is set to true and stays unchanged for the
next insert operation. This makes the next inserted row sometimes wrongly have
0 as the value of the auto_increment field.
Now the fill_record() function resets the table->auto_increment_field_not_null
variable before filling the record.
The table->auto_increment_field_not_null variable is also reset by the
open_table() function for a case if we missed some auto_increment_field_not_null
handling bug.
Now the table->auto_increment_field_not_null is reset at the end of the
mysql_load() function.
Reset the table->auto_increment_field_not_null variable after each
write_row() call in the copy_data_between_tables() function.
ARCHIVE table
ARCHIVE table was truncated by REPAIR TABLE ... USE_FRM statement.
The table handler returned its file name extensions in a wrong order.
REPAIR TABLE believed it has to use the meta file to create a new table
from it.
With the fixed order, REPAIR TABLE does now use the data file to create
a new table. So REPAIR TABLE ... USE_FRM works well with ARCHIVE engine
now.
This issue affects 5.0 only, since in 5.1 ARCHIVE engine stores meta
information and data in the same file.
thd->options' OPTION_STATUS_NO_TRANS_UPDATE bit was not restored at the end of SF() invocation, where
SF() modified non-ta table.
As the result of this artifact it was not possible to detect whether there were any side-effects when
top-level query ends.
If the top level query table was not modified and the bit is lost there would be no binlogging.
Fixed with preserving the bit inside of thd->no_trans_update struct. The struct agregates two bool flags
telling whether the current query and the current transaction modified any non-ta table.
The flags stmt, all are dropped at the end of the query and the transaction.
