as it is in when compiled from source and the default for mysqlnd.
SuSE for example uses /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock . Also, sql.safe_mode
(ext/mysql and ingres) needs the socket.
Fix possible crashes in mysqlnd. When packets are shorter, functions should
return error.
needed to move to a new structure MYSQLND_STMT. Makes
the code cleaner and less error-prone.
Also fix PDO/MySQL which directly touch mysqlnd internals
instead of using API calls.
If the protocol gets changed, ever, we can decide at runtime
easily which protocol to use by instantiating the right protocol
object. But this is restricted to the structure of the packets, not
the flow.
Memory usage optimisation. mysqlnd is not libmysql. mysqlnd does use the
Zend allocator, which means that is easier to hit memory_limit if you
have big stored (buffered) result sets. Before with libmysql you won't
hit memory_limit because libmysql uses libc's allocator and nothing is
checked. Now, with mysqlnd the situation is stricter and it is easier to
hit memory_limit. We try to optimize for big result sets. If a result set
is larger than 10 rows we will start freeing some data to keep memory usage
after 10 rows constant. This will help in the cases where a buffered result
set is scrolled forward only and just only once, or mysqlnd will need to
decode data from the network buffers again - yes, it is a trade-off between
CPU time and memory size. The best for big result sets is of course using
unbuffered queries - for comparison : 3 Million rows with buffered take
at least 180MB, with buffered you will stay at 3MB, and unbuffered will be
just 7-8% slower.
Hardwire function call instead of using callbacks. We don't actually need
callbacks, it was done for making 2 functions static, not to pollute the
global functions space but that had its price of 8 bytes overheat per
allocation, which is just too much. Also making the app member 32b instead
of 64b, which should save additional 4 byte, to the total of 12 byte per
allocation of a row buffer.
some reason. Double free of the data, which led to valgrind warnigns.
The fix actually optimizes the code in this cases because the old code
used copy_ctor while the new one skips it because it is not needed.
Transferring data ownership and nulling works best, for PS where we
always copy the string from the result set, unlike the text protocol.
Fix a bug with mysqlnd_fetch_field(_direct()). With mysqlnd the optimised
function was called, which however, doesn't respect that during store the
raw data is not unpacked, to be lazy. The data is unpacked to zvals later,
during every row fetch. However, this way max_length won't be calculated
correctly. So, if a mysqlnd_fetch_field(_direct) call comes we need to
unpack everything and then calculate max_length...and that is expensive,
defies our lazy unpacking optimisation.
