- it doesn't make sense to return -1, as the result is void* with PTHREADS
- a single try-catch block looks better
- cross-helping between GC and CW/CR threads is agreed to be a bad idea
Use traditional firebird configuration files format in all places (intl, trace, etc.).
Add per-database configuration facility to aliases.conf (currently 15 parameters from firebird.conf).
- abandon page checksums and use page number for validation
- PIP have now pip_used field to track number of allocated pages
- two more flag bits per data page is now reserved on pointer page. One is for the swept flag and second is still not used but makes calculations easy
- misc changes
Don't forget to rebuild your DBs !
- Eliminate the useless bumped transaction
- Close the gaps in flags related to indices (btr_* in ods.h)
- Close the gaps in header page clumplets types (HDR_* in ods.h)
- Close the gaps in header page flags (hdr_* in ods.h)
Please do a full rebuild.
- Plugins API.
- Feature CORE-2700 - UDR (User Defined Routines) Engine - C++ API supporting functions, triggers and stored procedures.
- Feature CORE-2470 - Support for alternate format of strings literals.
- Feature CORE-2310 - DDL triggers.
- Feature CORE-2312 - PSQL Packages.
- Feature CORE-1209 - CONTINUE statement.
- Feature CORE-1180 - DDL syntax to change (not) nullable state of columns.
- Feature CORE-2090 - Support OVER () clause with current aggregate functions.
- Fixed CORE-2699 - Common table expression context could be used with parameters.
- Introduce ODS 12.0.
- Work in progress in type-safe parser.
- Refactor some DDL commands (procedures and triggers) from DYN to DdlNodes.
- Refactor virtual tables to use a class hierarchy instead of namespaces. This is basic thing, not based on the changes done in Vulcan. Window functions is based on this work.
- Refactor COMMENT ON and DROP FUNCTION from DYN to DdlNodes. COMMENT ON do not use GDML anymore, it uses DSQL with PreparedStatement class.
- Refactor EXECUTE BLOCK to StmtNodes.
- Refactor the IUDF to SysFunctions. That eliminates RDB$GET_CONTEXT and RDB$SET_CONTEXT from RDB$FUNCTIONS.
1) Fixed CORE-1696 - "Deadlock in LM by using nbackup utility" with priority rating of lock requesting for LCK_backup_database and LCK_bdb.
2) A lot of stability fixes were made.
3) The key thing is using new GlobalRWLock for removing LCK_set_owner_handle function and speed up performance.
4) The code is still ready for using both in shared cache architecture and in claster architecture.
related with local events from isc_sync.cpp.
2. Cleanup - removed unused parameter 'number of events' from ISC_event_wait()
and two unused parameters from ISC_event_init().
3. Added SYSV-semaphore based implementation of IPC to isc_sync.cpp.
This should fix CORE-2102: Firebird 2.5 does not build on MacOS (Darwin).
4. Fixed use of posic CS without (x)inetd (i.e. fb_inet_server -s).
5. Fixed (to be reviewed by Dmitry) recovery after some process death in lock manager.
1) Make memory counters aggregated.
2) Add attachment pool and allocate appropriate resources out of this pool.
3) Always release attachments explicitly (via destructor).
4) Always delete user requests prior to attachment deletion.
5) Introduce memory usage counters per every monitoring object.
6) Misc refactoring.
Some pieces are still incomplete (although everything basically works), but I'd like to get feedback and testing sooner rather than later.
