The bug happens because of a combination of unfortunate circumstances: 1. Arguments args[0] and args[2] of Item_func_concat point recursively (through Item_direct_view_ref's) to the same Item_func_conv_charset. Both args[0]->args[0]->ref[0] and args[2]->args[0]->ref[0] refer to this Item_func_conv_charset. 2. When Item_func_concat::args[0]->val_str() is called, Item_func_conv_charset::val_str() writes its result to Item_func_conc_charset::tmp_value. 3. Then, for optimization purposes (to avoid copying), Item_func_substr::val_str() initializes Item_func_substr::tmp_value to point to the buffer fragment owned by Item_func_conv_charset::tmp_value Item_func_substr::tmp_value is returned as a result of Item_func_concat::args[0]->val_str(). 4. Due to optimization to avoid memory reallocs, Item_func_concat::val_str() remembers the result of args[0]->val_str() in "res" and further uses "res" to collect the return value. 5. When Item_func_concat::args[2]->val_str() is called, Item_func_conv_charset::tmp_value gets overwritten (see #1), which effectively overwrites args[0]'s Item_func_substr::tmp_value (see #3), which effectively overwrites "res" (see #4). This patch does the following: a. Changes Item_func_conv_charset::val_str(String *str) to use tmp_value and str the other way around. After this change tmp_value is used to store a temporary result, while str is used to return the value. The fixes the second problem (without SUBSTR): SELECT CONCAT(t2,'-',t2) c2 FROM (SELECT CONVERT(t USING latin1) t2 FROM t1) sub; As Item_func_concat::val_str() supplies two different buffers when calling args[0]->val_str() and args[2]->val_str(), in the new reduction the result created during args[0]->val_str() does not get overwritten by args[2]->val_str(). b. Fixing the same problem in val_str() for similar classes Item_func_to_base64 Item_func_from_base64 Item_func_weight_string Item_func_hex Item_func_unhex Item_func_quote Item_func_compress Item_func_uncompress Item_func_des_encrypt Item_func_des_decrypt Item_func_conv_charset Item_func_reverse Item_func_soundex Item_func_aes_encrypt Item_func_aes_decrypt Item_func_buffer c. Fixing Item_func::val_str_from_val_str_ascii() the same way. Now Item_str_ascii_func::ascii_buff is used for temporary value, while the parameter passed to val_str() is used to return the result. This fixes the same problem when conversion (from ASCII to e.g. UCS2) takes place. See the ctype_ucs.test for example queries that returned wrong results before the fix. d. Some Item_func descendand classes had temporary String buffers (tmp_value and tmp_str), but did not really use them. Removing these temporary buffers from: Item_func_decode_histogram Item_func_format Item_func_binlog_gtid_pos Item_func_spatial_collection: e. Removing Item_func_buffer::tmp_value, because it's not used any more. f. Renaming Item_func_[un]compress::buffer to "tmp_value", for consistency with other classes. Note, this patch does not fix the following classes (although they have a similar problem): Item_str_conv Item_func_make_set Item_char_typecast They have a complex implementations and simple swapping between "tmp_value" and "str" won't work. These classes will be fixed separately.
This directory contains a test suite for the MySQL daemon. To run the currently existing test cases, simply execute ./mysql-test-run in this directory. It will fire up the newly built mysqld and test it. Note that you do not have to have to do "make install", and you could actually have a co-existing MySQL installation. The tests will not conflict with it. To run the test suite in a source directory, you must do make first. All tests must pass. If one or more of them fail on your system, please read the following manual section for instructions on how to report the problem: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/reporting-bugs If you want to use an already running MySQL server for specific tests, use the --extern option to mysql-test-run. Please note that in this mode, the test suite expects you to provide the names of the tests to run. For example, here is the command to run the "alias" and "analyze" tests with an external server: mysql-test-run --extern socket=/tmp/mysql.sock alias analyze To match your setup, you might also need to provide --socket, --user, and other relevant options. With no test cases named on the command line, mysql-test-run falls back to the normal "non-extern" behavior. The reason for this is that some tests cannot run with an external server. You can create your own test cases. To create a test case, create a new file in the t subdirectory using a text editor. The file should have a .test extension. For example: xemacs t/test_case_name.test In the file, put a set of SQL statements that create some tables, load test data, and run some queries to manipulate it. We would appreciate it if you name your test tables t1, t2, t3 ... (to not conflict too much with existing tables). Your test should begin by dropping the tables you are going to create and end by dropping them again. This ensures that you can run the test over and over again. If you are using mysqltest commands (like result file names) in your test case, you should create the result file as follows: mysql-test-run --record test_case_name or mysqltest --record < t/test_case_name.test If you only have a simple test cases consisting of SQL statements and comments, you can create the test case in one of the following ways: mysql-test-run --record test_case_name mysql test < t/test_case_name.test > r/test_case_name.result mysqltest --record --database test --result-file=r/test_case_name.result < t/test_case_name.test When this is done, take a look at r/test_case_name.result - If the result is incorrect, you have found a bug. In this case, you should edit the test result to the correct results so that we can verify that the bug is corrected in future releases. If you want to submit your test case you can send it to maria-developers@lists.launchpad.com or attach it to a bug report on http://mariadb.org/jira/. If the test case is really big or if it contains 'not public' data, then put your .test file and .result file(s) into a tar.gz archive, add a README that explains the problem, ftp the archive to ftp://ftp.askmonty.org/private and submit a report to http://mariadb.org/jira about it.
