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.
client/mysqldump.c:
Pass my_free directly as its signature is compatible with the
callback type -- which wasn't the case for free_table_ent.

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.
BUILD/SETUP.sh:
Remove flags that are implied by -Wall and -Wextra.
Do not warn about unused parameters in C++.
BUILD/check-cpu:
Print only the compiler version instead of verbose banner.
Although the option is gcc specific, the check was only
being used for GCC specific checks anyway.
client/mysql.cc:
bcmp is no longer defined.
client/mysqltest.cc:
Pass a string to function expecting a format string.
Replace use of bcmp with memcmp.
cmd-line-utils/readline/Makefile.am:
Always define _GNU_SOURCE when compiling GNU readline.
Required to make certain prototypes visible.
cmd-line-utils/readline/input.c:
Condition for the code to be meaningful.

Remove check for bcmp.
extra/comp_err.c:
Use appropriate type.
extra/replace.c:
Replace use of bcmp with memcmp.
extra/yassl/src/crypto_wrapper.cpp:
Do not ignore the return value of fgets. Retrieve the file
position if fgets succeed -- if it fails, the function will
bail out and return a error.
extra/yassl/taocrypt/include/blowfish.hpp:
Use a single array instead of accessing positions of the sbox_
through a subscript to pbox_.
extra/yassl/taocrypt/include/runtime.hpp:
One definition of such functions is enough.
extra/yassl/taocrypt/src/aes.cpp:
Avoid potentially ambiguous conditions.
extra/yassl/taocrypt/src/algebra.cpp:
Rename arguments to avoid shadowing related warnings.
extra/yassl/taocrypt/src/blowfish.cpp:
Avoid potentially ambiguous conditions.
extra/yassl/taocrypt/src/integer.cpp:
Do not define type within a anonymous union.
Use a variable to return a value instead of
leaving the result in a register -- compiler
does not know the logic inside the asm.
extra/yassl/taocrypt/src/misc.cpp:
Define handler for pure virtual functions.
Remove unused code.
extra/yassl/taocrypt/src/twofish.cpp:
Avoid potentially ambiguous conditions.
extra/yassl/testsuite/test.hpp:
Function must have C language linkage.
include/m_string.h:
Remove check which relied on bcmp being defined -- they weren't
being used as bcmp is only visible when _BSD_SOURCE is defined.
include/my_bitmap.h:
Remove bogus helpers which were used only in a few files and
were causing warnings about dead code.
include/my_global.h:
Due to G++ bug, always silence false-positive uninitialized
variables warnings when compiling C++ code with G++.
Remove bogus helper.

sql/field.cc:
Replace bogus helper with a more appropriate logic which is
used throughout the code.
sql/item.cc:
Remove bogus logical condition which always evaluates to TRUE.
sql/item_create.cc:
Simplify code to avoid signedness related warnings.
sql/log_event.cc:
Replace use of bcmp with memcmp.
No need to use helpers for simple bit operations.
sql/log_event_old.cc:
Replace bmove_align with memcpy.

Move use declaration of variable to the ifdef block where it
is used. Remove now-unnecessary casts and arguments.
sql/set_var.cc:
Replace bogus helpers with simple and classic bit operations.
sql/slave.cc:
Cast to expected type and silence bogus warning.
sql/sql_class.h:
Don't use enum values as bit flags, the supposed type safety is
bogus as the combined bit flags are not a value in the enumeration.
sql/udf_example.c:
Only declare variable when necessary.
sql/unireg.h:
Replace use of bmove_align with memcpy.
storage/innobase/os/os0file.c:
Silence bogus warning.

an atomic counter"
Split the large LOCK_open section in open_table().
Do not call open_table_from_share() under LOCK_open.
Remove thd->version.
This fixes
Bug#50589 "Server hang on a query evaluated using a temporary
table"
Bug#51557 "LOCK_open and kernel_mutex are not happy together"
Bug#49463 "LOCK_table and innodb are not nice when handler
instances are created".
This patch has effect on storage engines that rely on
ha_open() PSEA method being called under LOCK_open.
In particular:
1) NDB is broken and left unfixed. NDB relies on LOCK_open
being kept as part of ha_open(), since it uses auto-discovery.
While previously the NDB open code was race-prone, now
it simply fails on asserts.
2) HEAP engine had a race in ha_heap::open() when
a share for the same table could be added twice
to the list of shares, or a dangling reference to a share
stored in HEAP handler. This patch aims to address this
problem by 'pinning' the newly created share in the
internal HEAP engine share list until at least one
handler instance is created using that share.
include/heap.h:
Add members to HP_CREATE_INFO.
Declare heap_release_share().
sql/lock.cc:
Remove thd->version, use thd->open_tables->s->version instead.
sql/repl_failsafe.cc:
Remove thd->version.
sql/sql_base.cc:
- close_thread_table(): move handler cleanup code outside the critical section protected by LOCK_open.
- remove thd->version
- split the large critical section in open_table() that
opens a new table from share and is protected by LOCK_open
into 2 critical sections, thus reducing the critical path.
- make check_if_table_exists() acquire LOCK_open internally.
- use thd->open_tables->s->version instead of thd->refresh_version to make sure that all tables in
thd->open_tables are in the same refresh series.
sql/sql_base.h:
Add declaration for check_if_table_exists().
sql/sql_class.cc:
Remove init_open_tables_state(), it's now equal to
reset_open_tables_state().
sql/sql_class.h:
Remove thd->version, THD::init_open_tables_state().
sql/sql_plugin.cc:
Use table->m_needs_reopen to mark the table as stale
rather than manipulate with thd->version, which is no more.
sql/sql_udf.cc:
Use table->m_needs_reopen to mark the table as stale
rather than manipulate with thd->version, which is no more.
sql/table.h:
Remove an unused variable.
sql/tztime.cc:
Use table->m_needs_reopen to mark the table as stale
rather than manipulate with thd->version, which is no more.
storage/heap/CMakeLists.txt:
Add heap tests to cmake build files.
storage/heap/ha_heap.cc:
Fix a race when ha_heap::ha_open() could insert two
HP_SHARE objects into the internal share list or store
a dangling reference to a share in ha_heap instance,
or wrongly set implicit_emptied.
storage/heap/hp_create.c:
Optionally pin a newly created share in the list of shares
by increasing its open_count. This is necessary to
make sure that a newly created share doesn't disappear while
a HP_INFO object is being created to reference it.
storage/heap/hp_open.c:
When adding a new HP_INFO object to the list of objects
in the heap share, make sure the open_count is not increased
twice.
storage/heap/hp_test1.c:
Adjust the test to new function signatures.
storage/heap/hp_test2.c:
Adjust the test to new function signatures.

This change fixes test failure for partition_repair_myisam
and partition_recover_myisam.
The problem was that:
- the file std_data/corrupt_crash.MYI
contains charsetnr=63 (binary) for index segments.
- the new .frm file contains charsetnr=8 (latin1) for
the same segments.
As a result REPAIR refused to repair frm+MYI files
with different segment definition.
This fix restores the old behavior for frm and MYI files:
they now store charsetnr=63 for numeric/datetime data types.

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.
