Sun Studio 12 has an error when calculating the compile-time
length of a constant character string. The error is only
present when building an optimized 32-bits version, using
the -xbuiltin=(%all) compiler flag.
During compilation, the compiler recognizes the use of
the strlen() function used on a constant string. It
optimizes the strlen and replaces it with the actual
length of the string. This optimization seems to
calculate the length wrongly in this particular case.
Replacing the "const char *" with a "const char []"
solves the problem.
The main problem was that lex_start() was forgotten to be called before processing
COM_REFRESH.
Another problem discovered was that if failures to flush the error log were not properly
handled, which resulted in the server crash.
The user-visible effect of these problems were:
- if COM_REFRESH command was sent after SQL-queries of some sort,
the server would crash.
- if COM_REFRESH was requested with REFRESH_LOG only, and the error log
failed to flush, the server would crash. The error log fails to flush
when it points to unavailable file (for example, due to restricted
permissions).
The fixes are:
- call lex_start() in the beginning of COM_REFRESH;
- handle failures to flush the error log properly, i.e. raise ER_UNKNOWN_ERROR.
BUG #11754979 - 46675: ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE AND UPDATECOUNT() POSSIBLY WRONG
The mysql_affected_rows() client call returns 3 instead of 2 on
INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE query with a duplicated key value.
The fix for the old bug #29692 was incomplete: unnecessary double
increment of "touched" rows still happened.
This bugfix removes:
1) unneeded increment of "touched" rows and
2) useless double resetting of auto-increment value.
GCC 4.6 has new -Wunused-but-set-variable flag, which is enabled
by -Wall, that causes GCC to emit a warning whenever a local variable
is assigned to, but otherwise unused (aside from its declaration).
Since the maintainer mode uses -Wall and -Werror, source code which
triggers these warnings will be rejected. That is, these warnings
become hard errors.
The solution is to fix the code which triggers these specific warnings.
In most of the cases, this is a welcome cleanup as code which triggers
this warning is probably dead anyway.
COLUMNS IN VIEWS
Issue:
charset value for a Column, returned by MYSQL_LIST_FIELDS(), was not same
for Table and View. This was because, for view, field charset was not being
returned.
Solution:
Added definition of function "charset_for_protocol()" in calss
Item_ident_for_show to return field charset value.
prepared statements with cursor protocol).
The problem was a bug in Materialized-cursor implementation.
Materialized_cursor::open() called send_result_metadata()
with items pointing to already closed table.
The fix is to send metadata when the table is still open.
NOTE: this is a "partial" fix: metadata are different with
and without --cursor-protocol, but that's a different large
problem, one indication of which is reported as Bug 24176.
The problem was that server didn't check resulting size of prepared
statement argument which was set using mysql_send_long_data() API.
By calling mysql_send_long_data() several times it was possible
to create overly big string and thus force server to allocate
memory for it. There was no way to limit this allocation.
The solution is to add check for size of result string against
value of max_long_data_size start-up parameter. When intermediate
string exceeds max_long_data_size value an appropriate error message
is emitted.
We can't use existing max_allowed_packet parameter for this purpose
since its value is limited by 1GB and therefore using it as a limit
for data set through mysql_send_long_data() API would have been an
incompatible change. Newly introduced max_long_data_size parameter
gets value from max_allowed_packet parameter unless its value is
specified explicitly. This new parameter is marked as deprecated
and will be eventually replaced by max_allowed_packet parameter.
Value of max_long_data_size parameter can be set only at server
startup.
A separate fix for 5.1 (as 5.1 and 5.5 have seriously
differged in the related pieces of the code).
A patch for 5.5 was approved earlier.
Problem: ucs2 was correctly disallowed in "SET NAMES" only,
while mysql_real_connect() and mysql_change_user() still allowed
to use ucs2, which made server crash.
Fix: disallow ucs2 in mysql_real_connect() and mysql_change_user().

This is a follow-up for WL#4435. The bug actually existed not only
MYSQL_TYPE_DATETIME type. The problem was that Item_param::set_value()
was written in an assumption that it's working with expressions, i.e.
with basic data types.
There are two different quick fixes here:
a) Change Item_param::make_field() -- remove setting of
Send_field::length, Send_field::charsetnr, Send_field::flags and
Send_field::type.
That would lead to marshalling all data using basic types to the client
(MYSQL_TYPE_LONGLONG, MYSQL_TYPE_DOUBLE, MYSQL_TYPE_STRING and
MYSQL_TYPE_NEWDECIMAL). In particular, that means, DATETIME would be
sent as MYSQL_TYPE_STRING, TINYINT -- as MYSQL_TYPE_LONGLONG, etc.
That could be Ok for the client, because the client library does
reverse conversion automatically (the client program would see DATETIME
as MYSQL_TIME object). However, there is a problem with metadata --
the metadata would be wrong (misleading): it would say that DATETIME is
marshaled as MYSQL_TYPE_DATETIME, not as MYSQL_TYPE_STRING.
b) Set Item_param::param_type properly to actual underlying field type.
That would lead to double conversion inside the server: for example,
MYSQL_TIME-object would be converted into STRING-object
(in Item_param::set_value()), and then converted back to MYSQL_TIME-object
(in Item_param::send()).
The data however would be marshalled more properly, and also metadata would
be correct.
This patch implements b).
There is also a possibility to avoid double conversion either by clonning
the data field, or by storing a reference to it and using it on Item::send()
time. That requires more work and might be done later.
network when a query was slow.
When a query is slow, sent a special flag to the client
indicating this fact.
Add a test case.
Implement review comments.
Fix a regression (due to a typo) which caused spurious incorrect
argument errors for long data stream parameters if all forms of
logging were disabled (binary, general and slow logs).
Although the C standard mandates that sprintf return the number
of bytes written, some very ancient systems (i.e. SunOS 4)
returned a pointer to the buffer instead. Since these systems
are not supported anymore and are hopefully long dead by now,
simply remove the portability wrapper that dealt with this
discrepancy. The autoconf check was causing trouble with GCC.
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.
