Review form MDEV-11297 patch

 

Hi Varun,

Please find my review comments below. We'll need another review pass once
these are addressed.

Please mention MDEV-11297 in the commit comment. The idea is that it should be
possible to search for MDEV number in 'git log' output and find all commits
with the code for the issue.

Ok this is .test file. Where is the .result file, did you forget to add it?

Please also add testcases where the GROUP_CONCAT's argument is NULL.

What about this:

create table t2 (a int, b varchar(10));
insert into t2 values 
  (1,'a'),(1,'b'),(1,'c'),
  (2,'x'),(2,'y');
MariaDB [j10]> select group_concat(a,b) from t2;
+-------------------+
| group_concat(a,b) |
+-------------------+
| 1a,1b,1c,2x,2y    |
+-------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

MariaDB [j10]> select group_concat(a,b limit 3) from t2;
+---------------------------+
| group_concat(a,b limit 3) |
+---------------------------+
| 1a,1                      |
+---------------------------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

Do you think it's correct? We need to discuss this.

I've commented out the above two lines and the testcase still produces the
same result.
I claim that they are not needed. If you think otherwise, please add test
coverage.

Please do the same for the assignment right below.

Coding style requires a space after "if":  "if (...)".  Please fix this
everywhere in this patch.

IIRC it also requires that if the statement inside if, it should be enclosed
in {...}.

There is at least one case where you can't call val_int from the parser: when
LIMIT number is a prepared statement parameter.

consider an example:
create table t2 (a int, b varchar(10));
insert into t2 values 
  (1,'a'),(1,'b'),(1,'c'),
  (2,'x'),(2,'y');

prepare STMT from 'select group_concat(b order by a limit ?) from t2' ;

This crashes:

First, the identation is wrong, this 'else' is actually attached to the 
"if(sel->select_limit)".  One doesn't make such mistakes when they are 
using {...} for all multi-line if-elses.

Second, can the "$$ = NULL" ever execute at all? It will be run when the LIMIT
clause is present (as $8!=0), but neither LIMIT nor OFFSET clauses are. I think 
the grammar prevents that.
You can add an assert if you still want the code here to cover all cases.
