strict aliasing violations.
Essentially, the problem is that large parts of the server were
developed in simpler times (last decades, pre C99 standard) when
strict aliasing and compilers supporting such optimizations were
rare to non-existent. Thus, when compiling the server with a modern
compiler that uses strict aliasing rules to perform optimizations,
there are several places in the code that might trigger undefined
behavior.
As evinced by some recent bugs, GCC does a somewhat good of job
misoptimizing such code, but on the other hand also gives warnings
about suspicious code. One problem is that the warnings aren't
always accurate, yet we can't afford to just shut them off as we
might miss real cases. False-positive cases are aggravated mostly
by casts that are likely to trigger undefined behavior.
The solution is to start a cleanup process focused on fixing and
reducing the amount of strict-aliasing related warnings produced
by GCC and others compilers. A good deal of noise reduction can
be achieved by just removing useless casts that are product of
historical cruft and are likely to trigger undefined behavior if
dereferenced.
The problem was that the bundled yaSSL library was being built
without thread safety support regardless of the thread safeness
of the compoments linked with it.
The solution is to enable yaSSL thread safety support if any
component (server or client) is to be built with thread support.
Also, generate new certificates for yaSSL's test suite.
(make relies GNU extentions). The patch was partially
backport from 6.0.
Original comment:
bug#30708: make relies GNU extensions. Now that we no longer use
BitKeeper we can safely remove the SCCS handling with no loss of
functionality.

Problem: copying issuer's (or subject's) name tags into an internal
buffer from incoming stream we didn't check the buffer overflow.
That may lead to memory overrun, crash etc.
Fix: ensure we don't overrun the buffer.
Note: there's no simple test case (exploit needed).
MYSQL_ADD_EXECUTABLE will instructs CPack where to install the exe. On Windows, it also
adds version resource and if -DSIGNCODE was given, will sign the exe in packaging step.

Bug#32082 : definition of VOID in my_global.h conflicts with Windows
SDK headers
VOID macro is now removed. Its usage is replaced with void cast.
In some cases, where cast does not make much sense (pthread_*, printf,
hash_delete, my_seek), cast is ommited.
Fixed 2 errors in comp_err executable :
1. Wrong (off by 1) length passed to my_checksum()
2. strmov() was used on overlapping strings. This is
not legal according to the docs in stpcpy(). Used
the overlap safe memmove() instead.

Options loaded from config files were added before command line
arguments, and they were parsed together, which could interprete
the following:
option-a
option-b
as --option-a=--option-b if 'option-a' requires a value, and
caused confusing.
Because all options that requires a value are always given in
the form '--option=value', so it's an error if there is no
'=value' part for such an option read from config file.
This patch added a separator to separate the arguments from
config files and that from command line, so that they can be
handled differently. And report an error for options loaded
from config files that requires a value and is not given in the
form '--option=value'.

CMakeLists.txt files cleanup
- remove SAFEMALLOC and SAFE_MUTEX definitions that were
present in *each* CMakeLists.txt. Instead, put them into top level
CMakeLists.txt, but disable on Windows, because
a) SAFEMALLOC does not add any functionality that is not already
present in Debug C runtime ( and 2 safe malloc one on top of the other
only unnecessarily slows down the server)
b)SAFE_MUTEX does not work on Windows and have been
explicitely disabled on Windows with #undef previously. Fortunately,
ntdll does pretty good job identifying l problems with
CRITICAL_SECTIONs.
DebugBreak()s on using uninited critical section, unlocking unowned
critical section)
-Also, remove occationally used -D_DEBUG (added by compiler
anyway)

Cleanup CMakeLists.txt(s) - remove winsock2 (ws2_32) from
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES.
Every exe or dll linked with mysys needs ws2_32, because
mysys uses winsock function WSAStartup in my_init().
However, there is no need to explicitely add ws2_32 to
the list of TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES multiple times.
Visual Studio comes with a handy pragma that tells linker
to add library. So patch replaces bunch of ws2_32 in
CMakeLists with single pragma comment(lib,"ws2_32")
in my_init.c
Additionally, reference to non-existing "debug" library
has been removed from TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES. The correct
name of the library is "dbug".
