It contains a few bugfixes (which I made when running the testsuite).
I carefully updated the results of the testsuite (i.e. I checked for every one,
if the difference between .reject and .result could be explained).
Apparently mysql-test-run --manager is broken in 4.1 and 5.0 currently,
so I could neither run the few tests which require --manager, nor check
that they pass nor modify their .result. But for builds, we don't run
with --manager.
Apart from --manager, the full testsuite passes, with Valgrind too (no errors).
I'm going to push in the next minutes. Remains: update the manual.
Note: by chance I saw that (in 4.1, in 5.0) rpl_get_lock fails when run alone;
this is normal at it makes assumptions on thread ids. I will fix this one day
in 4.1.
"CHANGE MASTER makes SQL thread restart from coordinates of I/O thread".
So, in CHANGE MASTER:
when it seems reasonable that the user did not want to discontinue
its replication (i.e. when he is not specifying host or port or master_log_file
or master_log_pos; this will be documented), set the coordinates of the
I/O thread to those of the SQL thread. This way, the SQL thread will see
no discontinuity in the relay log (i.e. will skip no events), because
the I/O thread will fill the brand new relay log with the events which
are just after the position where the SQL thread had stopped
(before CHANGE MASTER was issued).
And a new test for this bug.
