Re: (ITS#7829) MDB mdb_cursor_del causes records to be skipped - openldap-bugs

3 Apr 2014


      Another mdb_cursor_del() issue: If the next operation moves/peeks
at the cursor position, it does not always reset the C_DEL flag:
* mdb_cursor_put(,&existing_key,, MDB_APPEND or MDB_NOOVERWRITE)
  works like mdb_cursor_get(, &existing_key,, MDB_SET) but does
  not clear C_DEL. So MDB_NEXT after that stays at &existing_key.
The enclosed program illustrates this: the MDB_NEXTs give
  different results after the cursor was positioned at "f".
* I'm guessing mdb_cursor_count() should reset C_DEL on the main
  cursor:
The mdb_cursor_del() semantics seems to be something like "the
  cursor moves to the next item, however if the next operation is
  an MDB_NEXT* operation then it also returns that item.  So the
  manner you peek at the cursor position determines whether the
  the next item is "next" or "current".
But I haven't thought carefully about C_DEL vs. DUPSORT cursors.
BTW,
  mc->mc_flags &= ~C_DEL;
would be a bit simpler than
  if (mc->mc_flags & C_DEL) mc->mc_flags ^= C_DEL;
