IF NO DNS-SERVER AVAILABLE.
The thing is that on Windows XP getnameinfo() returns WSANO_DATA
when hostname-lookup is not available. The problem was that
this error code was treated as serious error and the client
connection got rejected.
The fix is to treat all errors from getnameinfo() as not ciritical,
but add IP-address to the host cache only for EAI_NONAME (or WSANO_DATA).

Reason: inconsistent compilation, federatedx is compiled without SAFEMALLOC
flag, while anything else is compiled with SAFEMALLOC.
As a consequence, my_hash_init used inside federatedx initialization does not
provide correct caller info parameters (file, line) , so they are initialized with
whatever is on stack. When info about allocated memory is output in
COM_DEBUG command, the server crashes trying to output string starting at
0xcccccccccccccccc.
The fix is to remove SAFEMALLOC preprocessor flags
from every CMakeLists.txt, except the top-level one.
Also, SAFEMALLOC is not defined by default now, instead
there is WITH_DEBUG_FULL CMake option which adds
-DSAFEMALLOC to C and C++ flags in debug compilation.
This option is off by default, because
1) Debug C runtime already has heap debugging builtin with
overwrite and leak detection
2)safemalloc considerably slows down the tests.
Note also that
- SAFEMALLOC is gone in MySQL5.5
- On Windows, heap related overflows can also be found using free pageheap utility
(that is also part of application verifier). This is even more efficient if there are no other layers
on top of Windows heap allocator, e.g it is most efficient with release version.
The autotools-based build system has been superseded and
is being removed in order to ease the maintenance burden on
developers tweaking and maintaining the build system.
In order to support tools that need to extract the server
version, a new file that (only) contains the server version,
called VERSION, is introduced. The file contents are human
and machine-readable. The format is:
MYSQL_VERSION_MAJOR=5
MYSQL_VERSION_MINOR=5
MYSQL_VERSION_PATCH=8
MYSQL_VERSION_EXTRA=-rc
The CMake based version extraction in cmake/mysql_version.cmake
is changed to extract the version from this file. The configure
to CMake wrapper is retained for backwards compatibility and to
support the BUILD/ scripts. Also, a new a makefile target
show-dist-name that prints the server version is introduced.
VERSION:
Add top-level version file.
cmake/mysql_version.cmake:
Get version information from the top-level VERSION file.
Do not cache the version components (MAJOR_VERSION, etc).
Add MYSQL_RPM_VERSION as a replacement for MYSQL_U_SCORE_VERSION.

Switch makefiles to use libtool to build libmysqld.so, as well as all its
dependencies.
The previous MYSQL_PLUGIN_DEPENDS_ON_MYSQL_INTERNALS() declaration is removed,
as it does not work well with a libtool build. Instead, plugins that need it
can specify an alternate object in MYSQL_PLUGIN_STATIC() that will be used for
embedded library. The plugin must then take care itself of compiling the
special object for embedded, rebuilding the source files previously listed in
MYSQL_PLUGIN_DEPENDS_ON_MYSQL_INTERNALS() with @plugin_embedded_defs@ in
CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS. The extra target @XXX_embedded_static_target@ is available
for the special object, this will be empty when --without-embedded-server.
All in-tree plugins are changed to build their static targets with libtool.
Additional plugins that want to work with libmysqld.so will need to be
similarly modified to build with libtool (or otherwise provide an -fPIC
object). Dynamically loaded plugins are not affected.
The old libraries like libmysys.a, libmyisam.a and similar libraries, which
were installed by `make install` though this is of little use, are still built
and installed to not break package scripts etc. that expect them. These
libraries are kept static to avoid introducing new .so dependencies.
The patch also fixes a handfull of duplicate symbol linker errors, where we
included some object twice during linking; these for one reason or another did
not produce errors before but caused problems on some platforms with this
patch (eg. Mac OS X linker is more strict for shared objects).
This patch only does what is necessary to build libmysqld.so. There are some
more cleanups that are possible now that we are using libtool more fully,
which could done in subsequent patches (though we may not bother as we are
switching from autotools to CMake anyway):
- In libmysql_r/, we should be able to just link libmysys.la etc, instead of
symlinking and re-compiling sources into the directory.
- In libmysql/, we can similarly avoid symlinking and recompiling sources if
we instead build a libmysys_nothread.la library with appropriate CFLAGS and
link that.
- In sql/, we can build a separate target libmysql_int.la with appropriate
CFLAGS for embedded and use that in libmysqld/ instead of symlinking
sources.
- libmysys.a, libmyisam.a and similar libraries could be installed as .so
also to save on code size; or alternatively could be not installed at all.

Essentially, the problem is that safemalloc is excruciatingly
slow as it checks all allocated blocks for overrun at each
memory management primitive, yielding a almost exponential
slowdown for the memory management functions (malloc, realloc,
free). The overrun check basically consists of verifying some
bytes of a block for certain magic keys, which catches some
simple forms of overrun. Another minor problem is violation
of aliasing rules and that its own internal list of blocks
is prone to corruption.
Another issue with safemalloc is rather the maintenance cost
as the tool has a significant impact on the server code.
Given the magnitude of memory debuggers available nowadays,
especially those that are provided with the platform malloc
implementation, maintenance of a in-house and largely obsolete
memory debugger becomes a burden that is not worth the effort
due to its slowness and lack of support for detecting more
common forms of heap corruption.
Since there are third-party tools that can provide the same
functionality at a lower or comparable performance cost, the
solution is to simply remove safemalloc. Third-party tools
can provide the same functionality at a lower or comparable
performance cost.
The removal of safemalloc also allows a simplification of the
malloc wrappers, removing quite a bit of kludge: redefinition
of my_malloc, my_free and the removal of the unused second
argument of my_free. Since free() always check whether the
supplied pointer is null, redudant checks are also removed.
Also, this patch adds unit testing for my_malloc and moves
my_realloc implementation into the same file as the other
memory allocation primitives.
client/mysqldump.c:
Pass my_free directly as its signature is compatible with the
callback type -- which wasn't the case for free_table_ent.

In order to allow thread schedulers to be dynamically loaded,
it is necessary to make the following changes to the server:
- Two new service interfaces
- Modifications to InnoDB to inform the thread scheduler of state changes.
- Changes to the VIO subsystem for checking if data is available on a socket.
- Elimination of remains of the old thread pool implementation.
The two new service interfaces introduces are:
my_thread_scheduler
A service interface to register a thread
scheduler.
thd_wait
A service interface to inform thread scheduler
that the thread is about to start waiting.
In addition, the patch adds code that:
- Add a call to thd_wait for table locks in mysys
thd_lock.c by introducing a set function that
can be used to set a callback to be used when
waiting on a lock and resuming from waiting.
- Calling the mysys set function from the server
to set the callbacks correctly.

The thing is that on some platforms (e.g. Mac OS X) sockaddr_in / sockaddr_in6
contain a non-standard field (sin_len / sin6_len), that must be set.
The problem was that only standard fields were set, thus getnameinfo() returned
EAI_SYSTEM instead of EAI_NONAME.
The fix is to introduce configure-time checks (for GNU auto-tools and CMake) for
those additional fields and to set them if they are available.
