Bug#37958 - test main.plugin crash on Mac OS X when selecting from EXAMPLE engine.
This patch contains fixes for two problems: 1. As originally reported, the server crashed on Mac OS X when trying to access an EXAMPLE table after the EXAMPLE plugin was installed. It turned out that the dynamically loaded EXAMPLE plugin called the function hash_earch() from a Mac OS X system library, instead of hash_earch() from MySQL's mysys library. Makefile.am in storage/example does not include libmysys. So the Mac OS X linker arranged the hash_search() function to be linked to the system library when the shared object is loaded. One possible solution would be to include libmysys into the linkage of dynamic plugins. But then we must have a libmysys.so, which must be used by the server too. This could have a minimal performance impact, but foremost the change seems to bee too risky at the current state of MySQL 5.1. The selected solution is to rename MySQL's hash_search() to my_hash_search() like it has been done before with hash_insert() and hash_reset(). Since this is the third time, we need to rename a hash_*() function, I did renamed all hash_*() functions to my_hash_*(). To avoid changing a zillion calls to these functions, and announcing this to hundreds of developers, I added defines that map the old names to the new names. This change is in hash.h and hash.c. 2. The other problem was improper implementation of the handlerton-to-plugin mapping. We use a fixed-size array to hold a plugin reference for each handlerton. On every install of a handler plugin, we allocated a new slot of the array. On uninstall we did not free it. After some uninstall/install cycles the array overflowed. We did not check for overflow. One fix is to check for overflow to stop the crashes. Another fix is to free the array slot at uninstall and search for a free slot at plugin install. This change is in handler.cc. include/hash.h: Bug#37958 - test main.plugin crash on Mac OS X when selecting from EXAMPLE engine. Renamed hash_*() functions to my_hash_*(). Added defines that map old names to new names. mysys/hash.c: Bug#37958 - test main.plugin crash on Mac OS X when selecting from EXAMPLE engine. Renamed hash_*() functions to my_hash_*(). sql/handler.cc: Bug#37958 - test main.plugin crash on Mac OS X when selecting from EXAMPLE engine. Protect against a failing ha_initialize_handlerton() in ha_finalize_handlerton(). Free hton2plugin slot on uninstall of a handler plugin. Reuse freed slost of the hton2plugin array. Protect against array overrun.
