Subject: DBD::mysql driver crashes Perl
Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2012 18:05:44 +0100
To: bug-DBD-mysql [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Thomas Eckardt <Thomas.Eckardt [...] thockar.com>
Hi, we use the DBD::mysql (DBI) driver in a very large multithreaded application. And in case two or more threads running on different CPU-cores are doing an update/insert for the same record (same primary key) at the same time, the complete Perl process is terminated. This behavior is reproduceable and it is absolute independend from the operating system (freeBSD/linux/windows) and the used Perl version (5.10 .... 5.14). Tests for Perl 5.16.1 are still running. It is also makes no difference if Perl and the driver are installed from any disro,rpm or package or if the whole is compiled from source. It is possible to use any other relational DB engine (oracle/DB2/PostgreSQL/Firebird/MSSQL) with this application - this problem occurred only with the driver DBD::mysql.

Can you please supply a script that reproduces this behaviour? -- Mike
I echo Michiel's request - I would love to know how to reproduce this. Please include server version, perl version, OS info Thank you! On Fri Dec 28 12:06:08 2012, Thomas.Eckardt@thockar.com wrote: Show quoted text

Subject: RE: [rt.cpan.org #82307] DBD::mysql driver crashes Perl

Sorry for the delay. The following code should cause the crash - how ever - running it to day on Windows (ActivePerl 5.16.1 with DBD::mysql 4.023) it was fine. The perl application that was crashing is ~ 3MB + dozends of loaded modules -> 80MB memory after Perl-compiling. I've found a way to prevent the crashes - which could be also caused by an incompatbility of any module with DBD::mysql - for example by XS-modules compiled with a different compiler. Contrary to this - some of the users have compiled Perl and all required modules from source on linux and some of them were running in to this problem. If you want, you can close the ticket. Or you may run the code below, to check different OS and Perl and DBD::mysql versions. best regards Thomas CODE: #!/usr/local/bin/perl use strict; use threads; use threads::shared; use DBI; our @threads; our $myUser = 'root'; our $myPass = 'PASSWORD'; our $myHost = 'localhost'; our $myDB = 'DB'; our $myTable = 'test'; for (0...9) { push(@threads, threads->create(\&ThreadStart)); } <STDIN>; exit; sub ThreadStart { my %hash; threads->detach(); eval('use Tie::RDBM; 1;') or die "Tie::RDBM not available\n"; my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=$myDB;host=$myHost", $myUser, $myPass, { PrintError=>0, ChopBlanks=>1, Warn=>0 } ); $dbh or die("DBI error: $DBI::errstr\n"); my $DBObject = tie %hash,'Tie::RDBM',{db=>$dbh,table=>$myTable,create=>1,DEBUG=>0}; while (1) { $hash{'1'} = '1'; $hash{'2'} = '2'; $hash{'3'} = '3'; my $dummy = $hash{'1'} && $hash{'2'} && $hash{'3'}; } } Von: <rt-cpan-org-return@perl.org> An: <Thomas.Eckardt@thockar.com>, Datum: 28.10.2013 04:49 Betreff: [rt.cpan.org #82307] DBD::mysql driver crashes Perl <URL: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=82307 > I echo Michiel's request - I would love to know how to reproduce this.
