init_dumping now accepts a function pointer to the table or view specific init_dumping function. This allows both tables and views to use the init_dumping function.
The problem was that the error handling was using a too-small buffer to
print the error message generated. We fix this by not using a buffer at
all, but by using fprintf() directly. There were also some problems with
the error handling in table dumping that was exposed by this fix that were
also corrected.
Fix for BUG#16676: Database CHARSET not used for stored procedures
The problem in BUG#16211 is that CHARSET-clause of the return type for
stored functions is just ignored.
The problem in BUG#16676 is that if character set is not explicitly
specified for sp-variable, the server character set is used instead
of the database one.
The fix has two parts:
- always store CHARSET-clause of the return type along with the
type definition in mysql.proc.returns column. "Always" means that
CHARSET-clause is appended even if it has not been explicitly
specified in CREATE FUNCTION statement (this affects BUG#16211 only).
Storing CHARSET-clause if it is not specified is essential to avoid
changing character set if the database character set is altered in
the future.
NOTE: this change is not backward compatible with the previous releases.
- use database default character set if CHARSET-clause is not explicitly
specified (this affects both BUG#16211 and BUG#16676).
NOTE: this also breaks backward compatibility.
mysqldump did not select the correct database before trying to dump
views from it. this resulted in an empty result set, which in turn
startled mysql-dump into a core-dump. this only happened for views,
not for tables, and was only visible with multiple databases that
weren't by sheer luck in the order mysqldump required, anyway. this
fixes by selecting the correct database before dumping views; it also
catches the empty set-condition if it should occur for other reasons.

(The above problem only occurs with -T -- create a separate file for
each table / view.) This ChangeSet results in correct output of view-
information while omitting the information for the view's stand-in
table. The rationale is that with -T, the user is likely interested
in transferring part of a database, not the db in its entirety (that
would be difficult as replay order is obscure, the files being named
for the table/view they contain rather than getting a sequence number).
'show create' works even on views that are short of a base-table (this
throw a warning though, like you would expect). Unfortunately, this is
not what mysqldump uses; it creates stand-in tables and hence requests
'show fields' on the view which fails with missing base-tables. The
--force option prevents the dump from stopping at this point; furthermore
this patch dumps a comment showing create for the offending view for
better diagnostics. This solution was confirmed by submitter as solving
their/clients' problem. Problem might become non-issue once mysqldump no
longer creates stand-in tables.
