routines.
mysqldump in xml mode did not dump routines, events or
triggers.
This patch fixes this issue by fixing the if conditions
that disallowed the dump of above mentioned objects in
xml mode, and added the required code to enable dump
in xml format.
--FLUSH-LOG BREAKS CONSISTENCY
The transaction started by mysqldump gets committed
implicitly when flush-log is specified along with
single-transaction option, and hence can break
consistency.
This is because, COM_REFRESH is executed in order
to flush logs and starting from 5.5 this command
performs an implicit commit.
Fixed by making sure that COM_REFRESH is executed
before the transaction has started and not after it.
Note : This patch triggers following behavioral
changes in mysqldump :
1) After this patch we no longer flush logs before
dumping each database if --single-transaction
option is given like it was done before (in the
absence of --lock-all-tables and --master-data
options).
2) Also, after this patch, we start acquiring
FTWRL before flushing logs in cases when only
--single-transaction and --flush-logs are given.
It becomes safe to use mysqldump with these two
options and without --master-data parameter for
backups.

("-") IN DATABASE NAMES IN ALTER DATABASE.
mysqldump did not quote database name in 'ALTER DATABASE'
statements in its output. This can further cause a failure
while loading if database name contains a hyphen '-'.
This happened as, while printing the 'ALTER DATABASE'
statements, the database name was not quoted.
Fixed by quoting the database name.
"set optimizer_switch to e or d causes invalid memory writes/valgrind warnings":
due to prefix support, the argument "e" was overwritten with its full value
"engine_condition_pushdown", which caused a buffer overrun.
This was wrong usage of find_type(); other wrong usages are fixed here too.
Please start reading with the comment of typelib.c.
When mysqldump tries to dump information in xml format,
the result does not contain field level comments.
In order to retrieve various informations for a field/column,
mysqldump currently uses 'show fields from <tab>' statement.
The attributes returned by the statement lacks the information
regarding field comments.
Fixed by changing the query to one that probes I_S to retrieve
required field informations, including the field comment.
command line clients.
Command line tools like mysqladmin and mysqldump did not recognize
default-auth and plugin-dir options.
Support for these options was found missing in these command line
tools.
Fixed by adding support for the same.
The fix is to:
- introduce ORACLE_WELCOME_COPYRIGHT_NOTICE define to have a single place
to specify copyright notice;
- replace custom copyright notices with ORACLE_WELCOME_COPYRIGHT_NOTICE
in programs.
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.
strict aliasing violations.
Essentially, the problem is that large parts of the server were
developed in simpler times (last decades, pre C99 standard) when
strict aliasing and compilers supporting such optimizations were
rare to non-existent. Thus, when compiling the server with a modern
compiler that uses strict aliasing rules to perform optimizations,
there are several places in the code that might trigger undefined
behavior.
As evinced by some recent bugs, GCC does a somewhat good of job
misoptimizing such code, but on the other hand also gives warnings
about suspicious code. One problem is that the warnings aren't
always accurate, yet we can't afford to just shut them off as we
might miss real cases. False-positive cases are aggravated mostly
by casts that are likely to trigger undefined behavior.
The solution is to start a cleanup process focused on fixing and
reducing the amount of strict-aliasing related warnings produced
by GCC and others compilers. A good deal of noise reduction can
be achieved by just removing useless casts that are product of
historical cruft and are likely to trigger undefined behavior if
dereferenced.
WL#5154 was a task for formally deprecating and removing items that
were mentioned in the manual as having been deprecated since MySQL
4.1 or 5.0, but that had never been removed.
Since WL#5154 was created, examination of mysqld.cc, mysql.cc, and
mysqldump.c reveals additional deprecations not mentioned in the
manual. (In some cases, the items are simply not mentioned in the
5.1+ manuals.)
This is a follow-on task to deprecate and remove these additional
items.
The deprecation happened in MySQL 5.1, and the options/variables
are now removed from the code.

Several items said to be deprecated in the 4.1 manual
have never been removed. This worklog adds deprecation
warnings when these items are used, and warns the user
that the items will be removed in MySQL 5.6.
A couple of previously deprecation decision have been
reversed (see single file comments)

The problem is a somewhat common misusage of the strmake function.
The strmake(dst, src, len) function writes at most /len/ bytes to
the string pointed to by src, not including the trailing null byte.
Hence, if /len/ is the exact length of the destination buffer, a
one byte buffer overflow can occur if the length of the source
string is equal to or greater than /len/.
