at run-time, so that an executable compiled on Mac OS X 10.2 can
be run on Mac OS X 10.2 (without the work-around) and Mac OS X 10.3
and later with the work-aroud enabled.
Use the fcntl() file flush method on OS X; Apple disabled fsync() for internal disk drives, which caused corruption in power outages; the patch was recommended by an Apple engineer
Fix InnoDB bug: on HP-UX, with a 32-bit binary, InnoDB was only able to read or write <= 2 GB files; the reason was that InnoDB treated the return value of lseek() as a 32-bit integer; lseek was used on HP-UX-11 as a replacement for pread() and pwrite() because HAVE_BROKEN_PREAD was defined on that platform
Let MySQL check the existence of readdir_r with 3 arguments; Solaris seems to have just 2 args
Check the existence of readdir_r and localtime_r; even though MySQL does check these too, we need our own check for Hot Backup code
os0file.c:
Use re-entrant readdir_r where available
ut0ut.c:
Make a function to use thread-safe localtime_r where available; that particular function was not called from anywhere, though
Print more warnings to the .err log if ALTER TABLE ... IMPORT TABLESPACE fails for some reason
os0file.c:
Do not call exit(1) if os_file_delete() fails; remove unused parameter from
handle_error_no_exit()
fil0fil.c:
Allow DROP TABLE even if the .ibd file for the table does not exist
Add typecast from ulint to ssize_t in pread and pwrite, so that the type is according to the Linux man page; this will probably not help to fix the HP-UX 32-bit pwrite failure, since the compiler should do the appropriate typecasts anyway
Add more precise diagnostics about the state of the I/O threads of InnoDB; print in SHOW INNODB STATUS if the event wait semaphore of each I/O thread is set
Add assertions to check that we do not go out of bounds of io thread status array
os0file.c:
Fix memory corruption (assertion failure on line 244 of sync0sync.c) reported by Miguel in a Windows build of MySQL-4.1.2. The bug is present in all InnoDB versions in Windows, but it depends on how the linker places a static array in srv0srv.c, whether the bug shows itself. 4 bytes were overwritten with a pointer to a statically allocated string: 'get windows aio return value'.
