Problem: Memory overrun happened in attempts to generate
error messages (e.g. in case of incorrect XPath syntax).
Reason: set_if_bigger() was used instead of set_if_smaller().
Change: replacing wrong set_if_bigger() to set_if_smaller(),
and making minor additional code clean-ups.
The problem reported is a compile bug,
reported by the development GCC team with GCC 4.2.
The original issue can no longer be reproduced in MySQL 5.1,
since the configure script no longer define HAVE_ATOMIC_ADD,
which caused the Linux atomic functions to be used (and cause a problem
with an invalid cast).
This patch implements some code cleanup for 5.1 only, which was identified
during the investigation of this issue.
With this patch, statistics maintained in THD::status_var are by definition
owned by the running thread, and do not need to be protected against race
conditions. These statistics are maintained by the status_var_* helpers,
which do not require any lock.
Include all the additional test suites in the binary packages ("tar.gz").
This is the tar.gz part of the fixes for bug#26609; for RPMs it is already done.
This patch corrects a problem encountered when reading the binlog from a remote
host. The application was crashing because the buffer variable (temp_buf) in
log_event was not pointing to the incoming data. For a normal file read, this
buffer is allocated by a previous call of read_log_event. However, when reading
from a remote host, the first call to read_log_event is not executed therefore
no buffer is allocated. Furthermore, there is no need to allocate a new buffer
because the incoming stream is what needs to be read.
This patch adds the call to initialize the temp_buf variable if reading from a
remote host. It also adds a check at destroy time to ensure the temp_buf is not
freed if reading from a remote host.
- Added suppressions for dlopen to make plugin test pass.
- Do not pass empty string to mysqld, since my_getopt is
not capable to handle it.
- Re-enabled trailing UNINSTALL PLUGIN statement of plugin.test.
The memory leak described in the bug report happens in libdl, not
in mysqld. On some valgrind installations this error is suppressed
by default, no idea why it isn't suppressed on pb-valgrind.
<observation>
If library remains open after thread has finished, and is closed by
another thread, we get memory leak. But in case library is opened and
closed by the same thread no leak occurs.

Uninitialized in the constructor member variables were
pointing to nirvana and causing a crash when debug information
of the Event Scheduler was dumped in result to COM_DEBUG
packet sent to the server.
- The SQL commands used by mysql_upgrade are written to be run
with sql_mode set to '' - thus the scripts should change sql_mode
for the session to make sure the SQL is legal.
and invalidation in the most general case (non-temporary table and
not simple RENAME or ENABLE/DISABLE KEYS or partitioning command).
See comment for sql/sql_table.cc for more information.
These changes are prerequisite for 5.1 version of fix for bug #23667
"CREATE TABLE LIKE is not isolated from alteration by other connections"
