The test case waits for master_pos_wait not to timeout, which
means that the deadlock between SQL and IO threads was
succesfully and automatically dealt with.
However, very rarely, master_pos_wait reports a timeout. This
happens because the time set for master_pos_wait to wait was
too small (6 seconds). On slow test env this could be a
problem.
We fix this by setting the timeout inline with the one used
in sync_slave_with_master (300 seconds). In addition we
refactored the test case and refined some comments.
LEAK WITH PARTITIONED ARCHIVE TABLES
CHECK TABLE against archive table, when file descriptors
are exhausted, caused server crash.
Archive didn't handle errors when opening data file for
CHECK TABLE.
There are two problems:
1. There is a missing check for 'year' parameter(year can not be greater than 9999) in
makedate function. fix: added check that year can not be greater than 9999.
2. There is a missing check for zero date in from_days() function.
fix: added zero date check into Item_func_from_days::get_date()
function.
In sql_class.cc, 'row_count', of type 'ha_rows', was used as last argument for
ER_TRUNCATED_WRONG_VALUE_FOR_FIELD which is
"Incorrect %-.32s value: '%-.128s' for column '%.192s' at row %ld".
So 'ha_rows' was used as 'long'.
On SPARC32 Solaris builds, 'long' is 4 bytes and 'ha_rows' is 'longlong' i.e. 8 bytes.
So the printf-like code was reading only the first 4 bytes.
Because the CPU is big-endian, 1LL is 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x01
so the first four bytes yield 0. So the warning message had "row 0" instead of
"row 1" in test outfile_loaddata.test:
-Warning 1366 Incorrect string value: '\xE1\xE2\xF7' for column 'b' at row 1
+Warning 1366 Incorrect string value: '\xE1\xE2\xF7' for column 'b' at row 0
All error-messaging functions which internally invoke some printf-life function
are potential candidate for such mistakes.
One apparently easy way to catch such mistakes is to use
ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT (from my_attribute.h).
But this works only when call site has both:
a) the format as a string literal
b) the types of arguments.
So:
func(ER(ER_BLAH), 10);
will silently not be checked, because ER(ER_BLAH) is not known at
compile time (it is known at run-time, and depends on the chosen
language).
And
func("%s", a va_list argument);
has the same problem, as the *real* type of arguments is not
known at this site at compile time (it's known in some caller).
Moreover,
func(ER(ER_BLAH));
though possibly correct (if ER(ER_BLAH) has no '%' markers), will not
compile (gcc says "error: format not a string literal and no format
arguments").
Consequences:
1) ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT is here added only to functions which in practice
take "string literal" formats: "my_error_reporter" and "print_admin_msg".
2) it cannot be added to the other functions: my_error(),
push_warning_printf(), Table_check_intact::report_error(),
general_log_print().
To do a one-time check of functions listed in (2), the following
"static code analysis" has been done:
1) replace
my_error(ER_xxx, arguments for substitution in format)
with the equivalent
my_printf_error(ER_xxx,ER(ER_xxx), arguments for substitution in
format),
so that we have ER(ER_xxx) and the arguments *in the same call site*
2) add ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT to push_warning_printf(),
Table_check_intact::report_error(), general_log_print()
3) replace ER(xxx) with the hard-coded English text found in
errmsg.txt (like: ER(ER_UNKNOWN_ERROR) is replaced with
"Unknown error"), so that a call site has the format as string literal
4) this way, ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT can effectively do its job
5) compile, fix errors detected by ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT
6) revert steps 1-2-3.
The present patch has no compiler error when submitted again to the
static code analysis above.
It cannot catch all problems though: see Field::set_warning(), in
which a call to push_warning_printf() has a variable error
(thus, not replacable by a string literal); I checked set_warning() calls
by hand though.
See also WL 5883 for one proposal to avoid such bugs from appearing
again in the future.
The issues fixed in the patch are:
a) mismatch in types (like 'int' passed to '%ld')
b) more arguments passed than specified in the format.
This patch resolves mismatches by changing the type/number of arguments,
not by changing error messages of sql/share/errmsg.txt. The latter would be wrong,
per the following old rule: errmsg.txt must be as stable as possible; no insertions
or deletions of messages, no changes of type or number of printf-like format specifiers,
are allowed, as long as the change impacts a message already released in a GA version.
If this rule is not followed:
- Connectors, which use error message numbers, will be confused (by insertions/deletions
of messages)
- using errmsg.sys of MySQL 5.1.n with mysqld of MySQL 5.1.(n+1)
could produce wrong messages or crash; such usage can easily happen if
installing 5.1.(n+1) while /etc/my.cnf still has --language=/path/to/5.1.n/xxx;
or if copying mysqld from 5.1.(n+1) into a 5.1.n installation.
When fixing b), I have verified that the superfluous arguments were not used in the format
in the first 5.1 GA (5.1.30 'bteam@astra04-20081114162938-z8mctjp6st27uobm').
Had they been used, then passing them today, even if the message doesn't use them
anymore, would have been necessary, as explained above.
.-> USING PASSWORD: NO
The server was always setting the flag for using password to NO and
then relying on the server authentication plugin to update it if it uses
a password.
This creates compatibility problems with 5.1 when rejecting a
nonexistent user login.
Set the default for the password supplied flag for non-existing users
as the default plugin (native password authentication) would do it
for compatibility reasons.
Test case added.
federated.result updated with the correct error message.
Impementing Test Review Comment.
Bug test scenario:
SELECT is not returning result set for "equal" (=) and "NULL safe equal
operator" (<=>) on BIT data type. Extending this scenario for all data types
This assert could be triggered during two phase commit if binary
log was used as transaction coordinator log. The triggered assert
checks that the same number of transaction IDs are processed in
the prepare and commit phases.
The reason it was triggered, was that the transaction consisted
of an INSERT/UPDATE IGNORE that had an ignorable error. Since it
had an error, no row log events were made and therefore
prepared_xids was 0. However, since it was an IGNORE statement,
the statement started a read/write statement transaction, committed
it and completed successfully.
This patch fixes the problem by adjusting the assert to take
this possibility into account.
Test case added to binlog.binlog_innodb_row.test.
If LOAD DATA INFILE featured a SET clause, the name=value pairs
would be regenerated using item::print. Unfortunately, that code
is mostly optimized for EXPLAIN EXTENDED output and such, and can
not be relied on to return valid SQL.
We now name each value its original, user-supplied form and use
that to create LOAD DATA INFILE statements for statement-based
replication.

The 5.5 version of the patch.
The server doesn't restrict the data that can be inserted into integer columns
with explicitly specified length that's smaller than what the type can handle,
e.g. 1234 can be inserted into an INT(2) column just fine.
Thus, when calcualting the maximum width of expressions involving such
restricted integer columns we need to use the implicit maximum width of
the field instead of the explicitly speficied one.
Fixed the server to use the implicit maximum in such cases and made sure
the implicit maximum is addjusted the same way as the explicit one wrt
signedness.
Fixed several test case results (ctype_*.result, metadata.result and
type_ranges.result) to reflect the extended column widths.
Added a regression test case in distinct.test.
Note : this is the behavior preserving fix that makes 5.5 behave as 5.1 and
earlier. In the mysql trunk we'll add a insert time check for the explict
maximum size.
- add support for choosing the engine of test
table(t1) with $engine_type
- add primary key to the test table(t1) to support
replication of BLOB/TEXT (also with ENGINE=ndb)
- change the suppression since the warning printed to error log
now says "Column 1"
