Description:
Hi, guys

When I run test on MySQL 8.0.15,  sanitizer report some memory leak,  like below:

the root cause I guess in temptable engine, the thread_local variable "shared_block" is freed when thread exit by calling "End_thread()::~End_thread()", but sanitizer will detect memory leak before main thread exit;

Direct leak of 1048576 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:

How to repeat:
See  attached  t.test

./mtr  --sanitize t/t.test

Suggested fix:
Register the destructor of thread local variable in storage engine and call it when my_thread_end();

just curious: does upstream run sanitizer checking or other similar tools before releasing a new version ?

Hello Zhao Jianwei,

Thank you for the report.
I tried to reproduce this issue at our end with source build but not seeing any issues as reported. Could you please share exact cmake with options used for build, OS details, gcc version? Your OCA is not yet reflecting here and once it reflects then you may have to resend the patch via "contribution" tab in order for us to accept your contribution.

- My build was on OL7

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/export/umesh/utils/GCC-7.3.0/lib64
export CC=/export/umesh/utils/GCC-7.3.0/bin/gcc
export CPP=/export/umesh/utils/GCC-7.3.0/bin/cpp
export CXX=/export/umesh/utils/GCC-7.3.0/bin/c++

rm -rf bld/
mkdir bld && cd bld
rm -rf CMakeCache.txt

^^ tried with/without debug builds, -DWITH_ASAN or -DWITH_UBSAN or both
make -j32
make install

cd mysql-test
./mtr  --sanitize t/t.test

^^ test passed without any issues

ATTENTION:

Please "./mtr --sanitize t/t.test  --record " to generate result file,  and retry "./mtr --sanitize t/t.test" again, then I get the sanitizer report as :

Thank you for the requested details, will try at my end and comeback to you if anything further required to reproduce. Thank you!

I'm able to reproduce this on Ubuntu 18.10 but not on OL7 even with the gcc 7.3.x and same flags as provided.

Hi, Umesh Shastry

Thanks for your patience and detailed  verification.

I think all the plugin/storage engine defined thread local variables are better to deallocate before my_thread_end() than automatic free when thread exit within glibc;
[25 Jul 2019 11:25] Erlend Dahl
Fixed in the upcoming 8.0.18 release.
