Add a new API function dbd_db_do6()
Current API via dbd_db_do4() function does not allow DBI drivers to
implement $dbh->do() method with additional binding parameters. Binding
parameters for $dbh->do() methods are already documented and supported by
DBI API itself, but can be implemented only for Pure Perl DBI drivers.
Also current API for dbd_db_do4() function is affected by Perl's The
Unicode bug as it uses char* as an XS argument. DBI driver implementer is
not able to process Unicode statement correctly and also is not able to
process statement with nul bytes (e.g. binary blobs). The only fix for DBI
and drivers is to define a new API without those design bugs. All other DBI
APIs pass SV* as a statement, not char* -- therefore they are not affected.
With this new dbd_db_do6() API, DBI driver implementer can use SvPVutf8()
call (or SvPVbyte()) instead of SvPV_nolen() to ensure that returned char*
will be always encoded in UTF-8 (or Latin1). And can also retrieve correct
length of statement in case it contains nul bytes. SvPV_nolen() returns
char* in pseudo-randomly chosen encoding (UTF-8 or Latin1) and so is
absolutely unsuitable for anything else than ASCII strings.
When dbd_db_do6 is defined, then this function takes two additional
arguments: number of supplied bind parameters (items) and stack base offset
(ax) to the first supplied bind parameter, which can be used by ST() macro
to retrieve i-th supplied bind parameter.
This would allow DBI drivers to implement Unicode aware $dbh->do() method
with passing also binding parameters.
