Bug 28127 (Some valid identifiers names are not parsed correctly) Bug 26302 (MySQL server cuts off trailing "*/" from comments in SP/func) This patch is the second part of a major cleanup, required to fix Bug 25411 (trigger code truncated). The root cause of the issue stems from the function skip_rear_comments, which was a work around to remove "extra" "*/" characters from the query text, when parsing a query and reusing the text fragments to represent a view, trigger, function or stored procedure. The reason for this work around is that "special comments", like /*!50002 XXX */, were not parsed properly, so that a query like: AAA /*!50002 BBB */ CCC would be seen by the parser as "AAA BBB */ CCC" when the current version is greater or equal to 5.0.2 The root cause of this stems from how special comments are parsed. Special comments are really out-of-bound text that appear inside a query, that affects how the parser behave. In nature, /*!50002 XXX */ in MySQL is similar to the C concept of preprocessing : #if VERSION >= 50002 XXX #endif Depending on the current VERSION of the server, either the special comment should be expanded or it should be ignored, but in all cases the "text" of the query should be re-written to strip the "/*!50002" and "*/" markers, which does not belong to the SQL language itself. Prior to this fix, these markers would leak into : - the storage format for VIEW, - the storage format for FUNCTION, - the storage format for FUNCTION parameters, in mysql.proc (param_list), - the storage format for PROCEDURE, - the storage format for PROCEDURE parameters, in mysql.proc (param_list), - the storage format for TRIGGER, - the binary log used for replication. In all cases, not only this cause format corruption, but also provide a vector for dormant security issues, by allowing to tunnel code that will be activated after an upgrade. The proper solution is to deal with special comments strictly during parsing, when accepting a query from the outside world. Once a query is parsed and an object is created with a persistant representation, this object should not arbitrarily mutate after an upgrade. In short, special comments are a useful but limited feature for MYSQLdump, when used at an *interface* level to facilitate import/export, but bloating the server *internal* storage format is *not* the proper way to deal with configuration management of the user logic. With this fix: - the Lex_input_stream class now acts as a comment pre-processor, and either expands or ignore special comments on the fly. - MYSQLlex and sql_yacc.yy have been cleaned up to strictly use the public interface of Lex_input_stream. In particular, how the input stream accepts or rejects a character is private to Lex_input_stream, and the internal buffer pointers of that class are strictly private, and should not be tempered with during parsing. This caused many changes mostly in sql_lex.cc. During the code cleanup in case MY_LEX_NUMBER_IDENT, Bug 28127 (Some valid identifiers names are not parsed correctly) was found and fixed. By parsing special comments properly, and removing the function 'skip_rear_comments' [sic], Bug 26302 (MySQL server cuts off trailing "*/" from comments in SP/func) has been fixed as well.
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. 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: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysql-test-suite.html 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 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 --record-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. To submit your test case, 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://support.mysql.com/pub/mysql/secret/ and send a mail to bugs@lists.mysql.com
