Fix for BUG#59894
"set optimizer_switch to e or d causes invalid memory writes/valgrind warnings": due to prefix support, the argument "e" was overwritten with its full value "engine_condition_pushdown", which caused a buffer overrun. This was wrong usage of find_type(); other wrong usages are fixed here too. Please start reading with the comment of typelib.c. client/mysqldump.c: A bug: find_type() expects a bitmap as 3rd argument (each bit is a flag controlling a behaviour of the function); here it was instead passed the length of the string to search! That could give random behaviour of find_type() depending on the string. We rather need to pass a correct flag to find_type(). The correct flag is FIND_TYPE_BASIC (0). Flag 8 is not needed as buff cannot have a comma (see how buff is filled). Flag 1 looks like a superfluous restriction. Flag 4 is not user-friendly (why use --compatible=2 rather than --compatible=mysql40 ?, and we probably not commit to "2" always meaning "mysql40" until the end of times). include/mysql.h.pp: This isn't a problematic API change as we go from char* to const char*: existing code will run unchanged. include/typelib.h: named constants. Not an enum to not significantly change the declaration of find_type() which would be an API change (typelib.h is included in mysql.h). mysql-test/r/mysqldump.result: correct result (see the two requested modes in SQL_MODE) mysql-test/suite/sys_vars/t/optimizer_switch_basic.test: test for BUG#59894. The second SET used to crash. mysql-test/t/mysqldump.test: we had no test for multiple modes in --compatible, which is supported according to --help mysys/typelib.c: Fix for BUG#59894. parse_name() is asked to match "e" with a row of the TYPELIB (the TYPELIB lists permitted flags of optimizer_switch; and comes from optimizer_switch_names[] of sys_vars.cc). find_type() is capable of supporting prefixes, but if it is not passed flag 2 in third argument, it will overwrite its first argument (the string to search for) with the complete name, here overwriting "e" with "engine_condition_pushdown". But as this "e" was a buffer allocated in an Item, it was not big enough to host the longer name, thus the crash. We don't need to know the complete flag's name; the output used from find_type() is just the flag's number (== function's return code). So we can pass flag 2 to find_type() in parse_name(). After doing this fix and the other fixes in this patch, all usages of find_type() were using flag 2; in most usages the string to search for, is not guaranteed to be long enough to host the complete name (it is either directly from argv, or from alloc_root/my_malloc done in an earlier call). Thus, flag 2 is here made implicit: callers need not pass it anymore, it is always automatically turned on. This allows to eliminate an oddity: parse_name() took a const char**, and then removed "const" before calling find_type(), which could theoretically modify the pointed data, thus lying on constness. Last, constants for find_type() are now named. sql-common/client.c: Two bugs: 1) The enum was not in sync with the array (due to a bad porting of WL 1054; the extra OPT_ values are about options present in 5.1 and deleted in 5.5); added a compile_time_assert() to make sure this doesn't happen again 2) find_type() was writing past the end of opt_arg; as opt_arg was allocated with alloc_root() with no extra space, this was an overrun; it could be seen when ** building with -DWITH_VALGRIND -DHAVE_purify -DEXTRA_DEBUG ** making execution go through the faulty code; this faulty code is executed only if the client asks to read a configuration file like this: mysql_options(mysql, MYSQL_READ_DEFAULT_FILE, "/tmp/cnf.cnf"); so by adding such line to the start of mysql_client_test.c::client_connect(), we could see the valgrind warning: ==30548== Invalid write of size 1 ==30548== at 0x4C2624C: strcpy (mc_replace_strmem.c:303) ==30548== by 0x48DC29: find_type (typelib.c:120) ==30548== by 0x465686: mysql_read_default_options (client.c:1344) ==30548== by 0x46830F: mysql_real_connect (client.c:2971) ==30548== by 0x409339: client_connect (mysql_client_test.c:331) ==30548== by 0x463A7F: main (mysql_client_test.c:19902) ==30548== Address 0x61875ad is 0 bytes after a block of size 29 alloc'd ==30548== at 0x4C25153: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:195) ==30548== by 0x49BFF1: my_malloc (my_malloc.c:38) ==30548== by 0x49C65C: alloc_root (my_alloc.c:166) ==30548== by 0x48EF97: handle_default_option (default.c:381) ==30548== by 0x49068C: search_default_file_with_ext (default.c:992) ==30548== by 0x48F929: search_default_file (default.c:670) ==30548== by 0x48EDC4: my_search_option_files (default.c:312) ==30548== by 0x48F4B1: my_load_defaults (default.c:576) ==30548== by 0x46517A: mysql_read_default_options (client.c:1207) ==30548== by 0x46830F: mysql_real_connect (client.c:2971) ==30548== by 0x409339: client_connect (mysql_client_test.c:331) ==30548== by 0x463A7F: main (mysql_client_test.c:19902) This is fixed by having find_type() not overwrite anymore. sql/sql_help.cc: cast not needed anymore. sql/table.cc: cast not needed anymore.
