The build scripts in general, using automake, autoconf, etc, contain several
special commands and work around all related to the way the bison code in the
parser is built, for sql/sql_yacc.yy. These work arounds, accumulated over
time during development, ultimately cause the build scripts to be unstable
and cause build defects by not enforcing dependencies.
This fix simplifies the build process and aligns it with the automake tooling,
which provides native support for bison and *.yy files.
In particular, the following problem have been fixed:
- dependencies with sql_yacc.cc were not honored (Bug 21029), leading to
corrupted builds,
- the work around introduced by Bug 24557, to cleanup the generated files
sql_yacc.h and sql_yacc.cc, has been removed,
- the generated makefile, in a source distribution, used to destroy the files
sql_yacc.h and sql_yacc.cc on a 'make clean' target. This has been fixed:
these files are now removed by make maintainer-clean.
- The root cause of the problem found with gcc 4.1 (see Bug 24619) has been
clearly documented, and the "sed" hack has been replaced by a cleaner
work around, when building the code with bison 1.875.
- Removed the file sql/sql_yacc.yy.bak, added by WL 3031 by accident.
- Removed the unnecessary AM_YFLAG= --debug introduced by WL 3432, since
the compiling option DBUG_OFF takes precedence when setting YYDEBUG.

The problem was that when memory was exhausted HEAP engine could crash
(GROUP BY uses HEAP TABLE). Alternatively, if SET was used, it could
report an error "You may only use constant expressions with SET" instead
of "Out of memory (Needed NNNNNN bytes)".
The solution is:
- pass MY_WME to (some) calls to my_malloc() to get correct message.
- fix heap_write() so that the first key is skipped during cleanup
on ENOMEM because it wasn't inserted and doesn't have to be
deleted.
No test case is provided because we can't test out-of-memory behaviour
in our current test framework.
This fix corrects build issues introduced by WL#3031:
- In the SQL grammar, 'USER' is a SQL 2003 reserved keyword,
and therefore should not be part of the keyword production.
- In sql/sql_parse.cc, the code for CREATE SERVER and ALTER SERVER
was not using proper format strings in the DBUG_PRINT statements.

Multi-table delete that is optimized with QUICK_RANGE reports table
corruption.
DELETE statement must not use KEYREAD optimization, and sets
table->no_keyread to 1. This was ignored in QUICK_RANGE optimization.
With this fix QUICK_RANGE optimization honors table->no_keyread
value and does not enable KEYREAD when it is requested.
Handling of large signed/unsigned values was not consistent, so some string functions could return bogus results.
The current fix is to simply patch up the val_str() methods for those string items.
It would be good clean this code up in general, to make similar problems much harder to make. This is left as an exercise for the reader.
