After the MDEV-13118 fix there's no code in the server that
wants caseup/casedn to change the argument in place for simple
charsets. Let's remove this logic and always return the result in a
new string for all charsets, both simple and complex.
1. Removing the optimization that *some* character sets used in casedn()
and caseup(), which allowed (and required) to change the case in-place,
overwriting the string passed as the "src" argument.
Now all CHARSET_INFO's work in the same way:
non of them change the source string in-place, all of them now convert
case from the source string to the destination string, leaving
the source string untouched.
2. Adding "const" qualifier to the "char *src" parameter
to caseup() and casedn().
3. Removing duplicate implementations in ctype-mb.c.
Now both caseup() and casedn() implementations for all CJK character sets
use internally the same function my_casefold_mb()
(the former my_casefold_mb_varlen()).
4. Removing the "unused" attribute from parameters of some my_case{up|dn}_xxx()
implementations, as the affected parameters are now *used* in the code.
Previously these parameters were used only in DBUG_ASSERT().
This problem is similar to MDEV-10306.
1. Fixing Item_str_conv::val_str(String *str) to return the result in "str",
and to use tmp_value only as a temporary buffer for args[0]->val_str().
The new code version now guarantees that the result is always returned in
"str". The trick with copy_if_not_alloced() is not used any more.
2. The change #1 revealed the same problem in SUBSTRING_INDEX(),
so some tests with combinations of UPPER()/LOWER() and SUBSTRING_INDEX()
started to fail. Fixing Item_func_substr_index::val_str() the same way,
to return the result in "str" and use tmp_value as a temporary buffer
for args[0]->val_str().
Modern compilers (such as GCC 8) emit warnings that the
'register' keyword is deprecated and not valid C++17.
Let us remove most use of the 'register' keyword.
Code in 'extra/' is not touched.
Main changes:
- Changing the constructor to accept a CHARSET_INFO pointer, instead of an Item pointer
- Updating the bison grammar accordingly
Additional cleanups:
- Simplifying Item_func_set_collation::eq() by reusing Item_func::eq()
- Removing unused binary_keyword
Handle string length as size_t, consistently (almost always:))
Change function prototypes to accept size_t, where in the past
ulong or uint were used. change local/member variables to size_t
when appropriate.
This fix excludes rocksdb, spider,spider, sphinx and connect for now.
This preserves const str for constant strings
Other things
- A few variables where changed from LEX_STRING to LEX_CSTRING
- Incident_log_event::Incident_log_event and record_incident where
changed to take LEX_CSTRING* as an argument instead of LEX_STRING
This was done in, among other things:
- thd->db and thd->db_length
- TABLE_LIST tablename, db, alias and schema_name
- Audit plugin database name
- lex->db
- All db and table names in Alter_table_ctx
- st_select_lex db
Other things:
- Changed a lot of functions to take const LEX_CSTRING* as argument
for db, table_name and alias. See init_one_table() as an example.
- Changed some function arguments from LEX_CSTRING to const LEX_CSTRING
- Changed some lists from LEX_STRING to LEX_CSTRING
- threads_mysql.result changed because process list_db wasn't always
correctly updated
- New append_identifier() function that takes LEX_CSTRING* as arguments
- Added new element tmp_buff to Alter_table_ctx to separate temp name
handling from temporary space
- Ensure we store the length after my_casedn_str() of table/db names
- Removed not used version of rename_table_in_stat_tables()
- Changed Natural_join_column::table_name and db_name() to never return
NULL (used for print)
- thd->get_db() now returns db as a printable string (thd->db.str or "")
Storage engine independent support for column compression.
TINYBLOB, BLOB, MEDIUMBLOB, LONGBLOB, TINYTEXT, TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT, LONGTEXT,
VARCHAR and VARBINARY columns can be compressed.
New COMPRESSED column attribute added:
COMPRESSED[=<compression_method>]
System variables added:
column_compression_threshold
column_compression_zlib_level
column_compression_zlib_strategy
column_compression_zlib_wrap
Status variables added:
Column_compressions
Column_decompressions
Limitations:
- the only supported method currently is zlib
- CSV storage engine stores data uncompressed on-disk even if COMPRESSED
attribute is present
- it is not possible to create indexes over compressed columns.
- Added sql/mariadb.h file that should be included first by files in sql
directory, if sql_plugin.h is not used (sql_plugin.h adds SHOW variables
that must be done before my_global.h is included)
- Removed a lot of include my_global.h from include files
- Removed include's of some files that my_global.h automatically includes
- Removed duplicated include's of my_sys.h
- Replaced include my_config.h with my_global.h
