Apr 1, 2025April 2025 focused on eliminating crash vectors and hardening data-path robustness in MariaDB/server. Delivered three high-severity fixes: (1) disabled window functions for multi-update paths to prevent in-place update conflicts, with new tests for error handling; (2) added a type-check for DEFAULT_VALUE_ITEM to prevent a server assertion in find_field_in_tables, with tests targeting derived_cond_pushdown; (3) hardened the query cache block-allocation path by initializing parent to NULL on allocation failure, reducing the risk of cache corruption. The work improves production stability, reduces crash-related downtime, and strengthens correctness under complex query planning and caching scenarios. Demonstrates strong debugging, test-driven development, and code-quality skills.
