Fix warnings flagged by the new warning option -Wunused-but-set-variable
that was added to GCC 4.6 and that is enabled by -Wunused and -Wall. The
option causes a warning whenever a local variable is assigned to but is
later unused. It also warns about meaningless pointer dereferences.
Essentially, the problem is that safemalloc is excruciatingly
slow as it checks all allocated blocks for overrun at each
memory management primitive, yielding a almost exponential
slowdown for the memory management functions (malloc, realloc,
free). The overrun check basically consists of verifying some
bytes of a block for certain magic keys, which catches some
simple forms of overrun. Another minor problem is violation
of aliasing rules and that its own internal list of blocks
is prone to corruption.
Another issue with safemalloc is rather the maintenance cost
as the tool has a significant impact on the server code.
Given the magnitude of memory debuggers available nowadays,
especially those that are provided with the platform malloc
implementation, maintenance of a in-house and largely obsolete
memory debugger becomes a burden that is not worth the effort
due to its slowness and lack of support for detecting more
common forms of heap corruption.
Since there are third-party tools that can provide the same
functionality at a lower or comparable performance cost, the
solution is to simply remove safemalloc. Third-party tools
can provide the same functionality at a lower or comparable
performance cost.
The removal of safemalloc also allows a simplification of the
malloc wrappers, removing quite a bit of kludge: redefinition
of my_malloc, my_free and the removal of the unused second
argument of my_free. Since free() always check whether the
supplied pointer is null, redudant checks are also removed.
Also, this patch adds unit testing for my_malloc and moves
my_realloc implementation into the same file as the other
memory allocation primitives.
Apart strict-aliasing warnings, fix the remaining warnings
generated by GCC 4.4.4 -Wall and -Wextra flags.
One major source of warnings was the in-house function my_bcmp
which (unconventionally) took pointers to unsigned characters
as the byte sequences to be compared. Since my_bcmp and bcmp
are deprecated functions whose only difference with memcmp is
the return value, every use of the function is replaced with
memcmp as the special return value wasn't actually being used
by any caller.
There were also various other warnings, mostly due to type
mismatches, missing return values, missing prototypes, dead
code (unreachable) and ignored return values.

Bug#36171 - CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE and MERGE engine
In former MySQL versions, up to 5.1.23/6.0.4 it was possible to create
temporary MERGE tables with non-temporary MyISAM tables.
This has been changed in the mentioned version due to Bug 19627
(temporary merge table locking). MERGE children were locked through
the parent table. If the parent was temporary, it was not locked and
so the children were not locked either. Parallel use of the MyISAM
tables corrupted them.
Since 6.0.6 (WL 4144 - Lock MERGE engine children), the children are
locked independently from the parent. Now it is possible to allow
non-temporary children with a temporary parent. Even though the
temporary MERGE table itself is not locked, each non-temporary
MyISAM table is locked anyway.
NOTE: Behavior change: In 5.1.23/6.0.4 we prohibited non-temporary
children with a temporary MERGE table. Now we re-allow it.
An important side-effect is that temporary tables, which overlay
non-temporary MERGE children, overlay the children in the MERGE table.
and a backport of relevant changes from the 6.0
version of the fix done by Ingo Struewing.
The bug itself was fixed by the patch for Bug#54811.
MyISAMMRG engine would try to use MMAP on its children
even on platforms that don't support it and even if
myisam_use_mmap option was off.
This lead to an infinite hang in INSERT ... SELECT into
a MyISAMMRG table when the destination MyISAM table
was also selected from.
A bug in duplicate detection fixed by 54811 was essential to
the hang - when a duplicate is detected, the optimizer
disables the use of memory mapped files, and it wasn't the case.
The patch below is also to not turn on MMAP on children tables
if myisam_use_mmap is off.
A test case is added to cover MyISAMMRG and myisam_use_mmap
option.
Bug#47633 - assert in ha_myisammrg::info during OPTIMIZE
The server crashed on an attempt to optimize a MERGE table with
non-existent child table.
mysql_admin_table() relied on the table to be successfully open
if a table object had been allocated.
Changed code to check return value of the open function before
calling a handler:: function on it.
strict aliasing violations.
One somewhat major source of strict-aliasing violations and
related warnings is the SQL_LIST structure. For example,
consider its member function `link_in_list` which takes
a pointer to pointer of type T (any type) as a pointer to
pointer to unsigned char. Dereferencing this pointer, which
is done to reset the next field, violates strict-aliasing
rules and might cause problems for surrounding code that
uses the next field of the object being added to the list.
The solution is to use templates to parametrize the SQL_LIST
structure in order to deference the pointers with compatible
types. As a side bonus, it becomes possible to remove quite
a few casts related to acessing data members of SQL_LIST.
Fix various mismatches between function's language linkage. Any
particular function that is declared in C++ but should be callable
from C must have C linkage. Note that function types with different
linkages are also distinct. Thus, if a function type is declared in
C code, it will have C linkage (same if declared in a extern "C"
block).

bug#30708: make relies GNU extensions. Now that we no longer use
BitKeeper we can safely remove the SCCS handling with no loss of

This patch:
- Moves all definitions from the mysql_priv.h file into
header files for the component where the variable is
defined
- Creates header files if the component lacks one
- Eliminates all include directives from mysql_priv.h
- Eliminates all circular include cycles
- Rename time.cc to sql_time.cc
- Rename mysql_priv.h to sql_priv.h

SunStudio
SunStudio compilers of late warn about methods that might hide
methods in base classes due to the use of overloading combined
with overriding. SunStudio also warns about variables defined
in local socpe or method arguments that have the same name as
a member attribute of the class.
This patch renames methods that might hide base class methods,
to make it easier both for humans and compilers to see what is
actually called. It also renames variables in local scope.
work in 5.1.40)
MERGE engine fails to open child table from a different
database if child table/database name contains characters
that are subject for table name to filename encoding
(WL1324).
Another problem is that MERGE engine didn't properly open
child table from the same database if child table name
contains characters like '/', '#'.
The problem was that table name to file name encoding was
applied inconsistently:
* On CREATE: encode table name + database name if child
table is in different database; do not encode table
name if child table is in the same database;
* No decoding on open.
With this fix child table/database names are always
encoded on CREATE and decoded on open. Compatibility
with older tables preserved.
Along with this patch comes fix for SHOW CREATE TABLE,
which used to show child table/database path instead
of child table/database names.
If a prepared statement used both a MyISAMMRG table and a stored
function or trigger, execution could fail with "No such table"
error or crash.
The error would come from a failure of the MyISAMMRG engine
to meet the expectations of the prelocking algorithm,
in particular maintain lex->query_tables_own_last pointer
in sync with lex->query_tables_last pointer/the contents
of lex->query_tables. When adding merge children, the merge
engine would extend the table list. Then, when adding
prelocked tables, the prelocking algorithm would use a pointer
to the last merge child to assign to lex->query_tables_own_last.
Then, when merge children were removed at the end of
open_tables(), lex->query_tables_own_last
was not updated, and kept pointing
to a removed merge child.
The fix ensures that query_tables_own_last is always in
sync with lex->query_tables_last.
This is a regression introduced by WL#4144 and present only
in next-4284 tree and 6.0.

A fix and a test case for Bug#46610 "MySQL 5.4.4: MyISAM MRG engine crash
on auto-repair of child".
Also fixes Bug#42862 "Crash on failed attempt to open a children of a
merge table".
MERGE engine needs to extend the global table list
with TABLE_LIST elements for child tables,
so that they are opened and locked.
Previously these table list elements were allocated
in memory of ha_myisammrg object (MERGE engine handler).
That would lead to access to freed memory in
recover_from_failed_open_table_attempt(), which would
try to recover a MERGE table child (MyISAM table)
and use for that TABLE_LIST of that child.
But by the time recover_from_failed_open_table_attempt()
is invoked, ha_myisammrg object that owns this
TABLE_LIST may be destroyed, and thus TABLE_LIST
memory freed.
The fix is to ensure that TABLE_LIST elements
that are added to the global table list (lex->query_tables)
are always allocated in thd->mem_root, which is not
destroyed until end of execution.
If previously TABLE_LIST elements were allocated
at ha_myisammrg::open() (i.e. when the TABLE
object was created and added to the table cache),
now they are allocated in ha_myisammrg::add_chidlren_list()
(i.e. right after "open" of the merge parent in
open_tables()).
We still create a list of children names
at ha_myisammrg::open() to use as a basis
for creation of TABLE_LISTs, that allows
to avoid reading the merge handler data
file on every execution.

WL#4284 "Transactional DDL locking"
A review fix.
Since WL#4284 implementation separated MDL_request and MDL_ticket,
MDL_request becamse a utility object necessary only to get a ticket.
Store it by-value in TABLE_LIST with the intent to merge
MDL_request::key with table_list->table_name and table_list->db
in future.
Change the MDL subsystem to not require MDL_requests to
stay around till close_thread_tables().
Remove the list of requests from the MDL context.
Requests for shared metadata locks acquired in open_tables()
are only used as a list in recover_from_failed_open_table_attempt(),
which calls mdl_context.wait_for_locks() for this list.
To keep such list for recover_from_failed_open_table_attempt(),
introduce a context class (Open_table_context), that collects
all requests.
A lot of minor cleanups and simplications that became possible
with this change.
