[Maria-developers] New BuildBot tests - compiling the MySQL drivers for PHP and Perl
by Philip Stoev 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

Hello, I have installed a new builder "compile-connectors", which will compile the DBD::mysql and the PHP (5.3) mysql connector (the oldest of them all). The purpose is to make sure that MariaDB does not break compatibility with MySQL when it comes to things such as headers, file locations, compilability, linking and loadability of the compiled module. I will try to get some more things tested, such as the newer PHP driver, the C++ connector and drivers containing the embedded server. If you can think of any other connectors or important applications that link or load libmysql, let me know and I will try to add them too. I do not think the new test will catch bugs such as LP#674812, which showed up when mixing and matching OS packages, downloaded packages and self-compiled stuff, but we can at least catch the regression if our headers get modified enough for the third-party drivers to become uncompilable. My next step will be to automate the testing of the Windows installer and the installation of MariaDB as a service. Any thoughts you may have in that area are also appreciated. Thank you. Philip Stoev

[Maria-developers] Strange pbxt issue in 5.1 (missing rows)
by Michael Widenius 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

Hi! I just merged MySQL 5.1.53 into MariaDB and as part of that, did run the pbxt test suite. I encountered this test failure: mysql-test-run --suite=pbxt URRENT_TEST: pbxt.insert --- /home/my/maria-5.1-release/mysql-test/suite/pbxt/r/insert.result 2010-11-25 12:02:26.083226000 +0200 +++ /home/my/maria-5.1-release/mysql-test/suite/pbxt/r/insert.reject 2010-11-25 19:33:48.281738504 +0200 @@ -298,7 +298,7 @@ insert into t2 select t1.* from t1, t2 t, t3 where t1.id1 = t.id2 and t.id2 = t3.id3; select count(*) from t2; count(*) -25500 +25495 drop table t1,t2,t3; create table t1 (a int, b int); insert into t1 (a,b) values (a,b); This only happened once for this test. (I did get similar failures with one other test for that run, but not for new runs). I could not repeat it by running the test or suite again. I also tested to run the test with valgrind, but not problems found. I noticed this also happens in buildbot from time to time: See http://buildbot.askmonty.org/buildbot/builders/gentoo-x86-dbg/builds/396/st…, search after pbxt.insert Paul, have you ever encountered something like this? Any clues where to start looking? (The tree I am working with is 5.1-release) Regards, Monty

Re: [Maria-developers] MySQL: THDVAR in full-text parser

Hi, 0x00F6! First: please send questions like this to maria-developers(a)lists.launchpad.net it's a public mailing list dedicated to MySQL and MariaDB internals, source code, and related things. I am subscribed, so I'll see you mail there, and you may be sure I will, because it won't be accidentally catched by my spam filter, or sorted out in some obscure folder. Furthermore other subscribers will see your question and could reply if I will be not available (e.g. I could be travelling). Thank you.

But at the moment it is not. You can copy the declaration from mysql_priv.h, something like this: extern pthread_key_t THR_THD; THD *current_thd() { return (THD*)pthread_getspecific(THR_THD); } if you want it to work on windows, see mysql_priv.h for the complete definition of current_thd.

[Maria-developers] Problem with prep_where (LP BUG#675248)
by Oleksandr Byelkin 22 Nov '10

22 Nov '10

Preparation statement for PS looks like this (example uses prep_where, but we have the same problem for other parts stored in st_select_lex::fix_prepare_information()): ... conds->fix_fields(...&conds...) /* (1.1) JOIN::prepare()*/ ... prep_where= *conds; /* (1.2) st_select_lex::fix_prepare_information() */ *conds= where= prep_where->copy_andor_structure() ... Then executing of the prepared statement is like this: where= prep_where->copy_andor_structure() /* (2.1) reinit_stmt_before_use */ ... where->fix_fields() /* (2.2) JOIN::prepare() */ ... The problem is that during (1.1) we could substitute conds with reference on other item (for example if we change reference on Item_field on Item_ref* or Item_ref on Item_field). The new item will be destroyed after preparation (i.e before (2.1)). So during (2.1) prep_where points on freed memory. How to solve the problem. 1. Workarounds 1.1. Make changing Items inherited from Item_ident (Item_field and Item_ref*) during resolving permanent. Pros: - Looks logical - reduce work during second preparation Cons: - Play with statement memory usually complex enough. - have to be sure that there is no any reference on the original Item 1.2 Add new method for Item, which return 'this' pointer but for Item_idents creating during resolving original Item. (1.2) turns to something like: prep_where= (*conds)->original_ident_item(); Pros: - Looks simple Cons: - Item already overloaded with methods like this 1.3 Assign prep_where before (1.1) Pros: - Easy to implement Cons: - Need changing logic and semantic of some calls and prep_where/prep_having... class variables. 2. Global solutions for the problem of double/triple/... reference on transformed expression (it is not applicadle for 5.1-5.3 but could de universal solution in 5.5 of higher): 2.1 Absolutely transparent wrapper to save only one reference on any expression which could be transformed: Pros: - Could base class for many other wrappers Cons: - It is difficult to implement such absolutely transparent wrapper. - A lot of places where it should be put, make Item tree bigger 2.2 Turn THD::change_list to hash (for example) and chack presence of assigning variable in the list, if it found, also register changing for variable we are assigning value now. For example instead of prep_where= *conds; use thd->assign_changeable(&prep_where, conds), where: void THD::assign_changeable(void **newref, void **oldref) { if (in_changed_references(oldref) change_item_tree(newref, *oldref); else *newref= *oldref; } Pros: - no additional work for usual statements Cons: - List supports order of assigments easyly, but hash can't - time for finding pointers in the hash
