The problem was that on Windows the access method indicates that access to file
such as "com1" and "lpt1" is allowed (since they are device names) and
this causes mysql to attempt to open them as databases or tables.
The fix was to write our own my_access method that uses other Win32 functions
to determine if the given argument is indeed a file and has to requested
mode.
Added an extra parameter to all calls to timeout().
1 means we want to set the write timeout
0 means we wnat to set the read timeout
viossl.c:
Add which parameter to ssl timeout routine
vio_priv.h:
Added which parameter to vio_ignore_timeout and vio_ssl_timeout
violite.h:
Add which parameter to vio_timeout sigs
net_serv.cc:
Use proper which code in call to vio_timeout to set the proper timeout
viosocket.c:
Set the appropriate timeout in vio_timeout
Produce warnings of wrong cast of strings to signed/unsigned.
Don't block not resolved IP's if DNS server is down (Bug #8467)
Fix compiler problems with MinGW (Bug #8872)
Changed the creation of the .MRG file so that only the table name
is written when the MyISAM table is in the same database as the
MERGE table, a relative path is used in other cases in mysqld,
and possibly an absolute path is used in an embedded server.
No test case is added as the external behaviour is unchanged.
Only the file names within the .MRG file are changed.
Define a new CPP symbol that the target OS is Linux, and use it where only the OS matters and not the threads Library.
Until now, 'HAVE_LINUXTHREADS' was used to indicate "Target is Linux" in many places.
When we support configuration with NPTL but no Linuxthreads, this misuse must cease.
provide created shared memory objects with proper
access rights to make them usable when client and server
are running under different accounts.
Post review fixes.
Change string->float conversion to delay division as long as possible.
This gives us more exact integer->float conversion for numbers of type '123.45E+02' (Bug #7740)
Proposal to fix this problem: when using libmysqlclient, you must call mysql_server_end() to nicely free memory at the end
of your program; it however sounds weird to call a function named *SERVER_end* when you're the CLIENT (you're not ending the server, you're ending
your ability to talk to servers). So here I add two defines which should be more generic names. Our manual
mentions these functions only for libmysqld API so needs some fixing, and then we can close BUG#8099 and BUG#6149.
