[Maria-developers] Streamlining Buildbot builds
by Daniel Bartholomew 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

Serg brought this to my attention and asked me to look into it. Basically, over time we keep adding more and more builders to buildbot and we build an ever increasing number of packages. One way to keep turnaround times for builds reasonable is to add more hardware. Which we are doing by adding a third KVM build host. However, building every push on every KVM virtual machine is overkill. For example, if one Ubuntu build succeeds, most other Ubuntu builds will also succeed. We only really need to build "everything" when we are making a release. For other builds we can get away with building on a sub-set of builders. The main benefit of doing this is to speed up the turn-around time for builds. One potential issue is the possibility of not catching an error which, for some reason, only manifests on a certain OS version. There may be other issues. Let me know if you think of any. Assuming we want to move ahead with building most builds on a sub-set of our builders instead of the full set, the easiest thing to do is to configure buildbot to only build on every builder for pushes into the "-release" and top-level (5.3, 5.5, etc...) branches. All other branches would have an abridged set of builders assigned to them. First things first, we need to decide which builders will build every push in every tree (aka "build everything") and which builders will only build releases. Builders on dedicated machines don't need to be changed, only KVM builders. Here are the KVM builders I propose to be in the "build everything" set: "kvm-bintar-precise-amd64", "kvm-bintar-precise-x86", "kvm-deb-debian6-amd64", "kvm-deb-debian6-x86", "kvm-deb-precise-amd64", "kvm-deb-precise-x86", "kvm-rpm-fedora17-amd64", "kvm-rpm-fedora17-x86", "kvm-rpm-centos6-amd64", "kvm-rpm-centos6-x86", The reasoning for choosing the above is to have an x86 and amd64 builder for Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, and Debian. And also to always build binary tarballs. Thoughts?

[Maria-developers] Mysql crashes with signal 11 after a select (or even explain) on a view with a subselect.
by kirchy＠gmx.de 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

>Description: we see some problems with views that include other views (I think that is the problem...) and selects on views with subselects. The log says after a crash: Aug 3 17:29:22 db7 mysqld: 120803 17:29:22 [ERROR] mysqld got signal 11 ; Aug 3 17:29:22 db7 mysqld: This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary Aug 3 17:29:22 db7 mysqld: or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built, Aug 3 17:29:22 db7 mysqld: or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.

Can you elaborate on exactly when bzero() (or memset() or similar) is allowed or not allowed? I searched in my C++ reference, and did not really find anything ... in fact I did not find anything that said memset(p, 0, sizeof(*p)) would _ever_ be allowed for a class. It is my understanding that even for C, memset(..., 0, ...) is only valid for integer types. Initialising with memset() floating-point and even pointers values is not well-defined! Or did I miss something? I think this is an important issue, as memset() of a C++ class is certainly wrong in many cases, and can lead to subtle and platform-dependent failures. So let's point out clearly the rules that apply, or define such rules if necessary: 1. Does the C and C++ standards define suitable rules? If so, we should use them. However, I suspect that memset() is invalid in standard C and C++ except for arrays of integers, which is excessively restrictive. 2. If C/C++ standard is not sufficient, we need to agree on a coding style (and stay within what works on all reasonable compilers/platforms). I would much prefer to find an existing standards rule or convention. But failing that I would suggest: - Only memset() and memcpy() structs. - Virtual functions are definitely out (in struct as well as members). - Constructors and destructors also must not be defined for such structs (or its members). - Derived classes also should never be memset()'ed. Class inheritance is likely to need extra info on some (present or future) platforms and compilers. - Do not have private: methods in such memset() structs. I do not think it matters to the code generated, but private: is meaningless if arbitrary code is manipulating the memory of the struct directly. Usually I would have no methods at all in structs that I plan to do memset() on. But I suppose we also need to look at what existing code does. Comments? - Kristian.

Actually, in mariadb code (and original mysql code) we use bzero a lot and it's a stable, well tested, well known and well defined function. Better to always use the same code to reset memory than doing it many different ways. In MySQL code bzero() has been the offical and recommended way to reset memory. Regards, Monty

[Maria-developers] question about MTR
by Rich Prohaska 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Hello, It appears that MTR looks at a test and figures out the appropriate mysqld configuration needed to run the test. For example, if I have lines like "source include/have_XYZ.inc" in my test, MTR will run the test with the right storage engines loaded (and only those storage engines). Is this accurate? Thanks Rich Prohaska

[Maria-developers] Please test: BUG#992942 & MDEV-325 patch
by Sergei Petrunia 19 Jul '12

19 Jul '12

Hi Elena, I've made a patch that fixes both BUG#992942 and MDEV-325. It is rather risky, as it touches the part of the code whose interaction with other parts of the code is not very well defined. This is why I request RQG testing. Could you please run some test that would use ORDER BY ... LIMIT, GROUP BY, subqueries, tables that may or may not be read with range/index_merge access, index condition pushdown, etc? (Yes, you may really need all of the above to trigger the problem. Check out analysis comments in the bug). The code is at: bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~maria-captains/maria/5.5-show-explain-test1 it is based on 5.5-show-explain, so SHOW EXPLAIN part can be tested, too.
