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.
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.

WL#5154 was a task for formally deprecating and removing items that
were mentioned in the manual as having been deprecated since MySQL
4.1 or 5.0, but that had never been removed.
Since WL#5154 was created, examination of mysqld.cc, mysql.cc, and
mysqldump.c reveals additional deprecations not mentioned in the
manual. (In some cases, the items are simply not mentioned in the
5.1+ manuals.)
This is a follow-on task to deprecate and remove these additional
items.
The deprecation happened in MySQL 5.1, and the options/variables
are now removed from the code.

The problem is a somewhat common misusage of the strmake function.
The strmake(dst, src, len) function writes at most /len/ bytes to
the string pointed to by src, not including the trailing null byte.
Hence, if /len/ is the exact length of the destination buffer, a
one byte buffer overflow can occur if the length of the source
string is equal to or greater than /len/.
client/mysqldump.c:
Make room for the trailing null byte.
libmysql/libmysql.c:
Add comment, there is enough room in the buffer.
Increase buffer length, two strings are concatenated.
libmysqld/lib_sql.cc:

Added this option, named as "--dump-slave". The purpose of this option is to be
able to produce a dump from a slave used for making backups of the master. Originally,
dumping from the main master was fine, but as more data accumulated, the dump process
would take over 30 minutes, locking up the master database hence website for 30 minutes.
A slave dedicated to producing backups was the answer, but I needed a dump that could be
used to restore a slave instantly and in order to do that, it has to have three things
contained in the dump:
1. "STOP SLAVE;" at the beginning
2. "CHANGE MASTER TO ...<the master - info from 'show slave status'>"
3. "START SLAVE;" at the end
These options in this changeset contain this.
--stop-slave adds "STOP SLAVE" to the beginning of the dump and "STOP SLAVE"
to the end of the dump.
--include-host gives the user the option to have the host explicitely added
to the "CHANGE MASTER TO ..." line.
--dump-slave adds the "CHANGE MASTER ..." to the dump representing not the slave's
master binlog info, but the slave's master's info from "SHOW SLAVE STATUS"
client/client_priv.h:
Added OPT_SLAVE_DATA to client_priv.h
client/mysqldump.c:
* Added --dump-slave option (name per Brian)
* Added --stop-slave to print "STOP SLAVE;" into the dump
* Added --include-host option to include "MASTER_HOST=..." and "MASTER_PORT=..."
to the dump since unlike --master-data, the host can't be assumed to be
the local host
* Added do_start_slave and do_stop_slave to stop the slave sql thread upon
start of the dump process, and to start the slave sql upon finish of dump process -
to keep the log information frozen during this time.
* Added do_show_slave_status for obtaining slave information needed to compose
"CHANGE MASTER ..." output to the master of this slave.
* Added necessary long options and defines required for new options
The presence of "--skip" parameters is obscure, when it should be
obvious from the text.
Now, for boolean options, when they're default to ON and the --skip
is more useful parameter, then tell the user of its existence.

message:
Bug#35297 SHOW CREATE EVENT does not show the DEFINER:
update test result after a merge from now.
DECIMAL and TIMESTAMP used to have NUM_FLAG, but NEWDECIMAL was forgotten.
It's correct that TIMESTAMP does not have the flag nowadays (manual will be updated, connectors
developers will be notified).
client/mysqldump.c:
IS_NUM_FIELD(f) removed and replaced by its definition (f>flags & NUM_FLAG).
include/mysql.h:
- IS_NUM_FIELD() is removed because name is too close to IS_NUM() and it is not used a lot
- INTERNAL_NUM_FIELD() is removed:
* it forgets to test NEWDECIMAL (when IS_NUM() was updated for NEWDECIMAL we forgot
to update INTERNAL_NUM_FIELD()), that's why client didn't mark NEWDECIMAL with NUM_FLAG (a bug).
* it has an obsolete test for length of the TIMESTAMP field: test became accidentally wrong when length
of TIMESTAMP was changed to always be 19 (when the format was changed from YYYYMMDDhhmmss to
YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss), never 8 or 14 anymore. That obsolete test caused TIMESTAMP to lose NUM_FLAG,
which was an accidental but good change (see below).
* IS_NUM() should be used instead
- IS_NUM(f) is changed: TIMESTAMP used to be parsable as a number without quotes (when it was formatted as
"YYYYMMDDhhmmss"); but it is not anymore (now that it is "YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss"), so it should not have NUM_FLAG
(mysqldump needs to quote TIMESTAMP values), so IS_NUM() should return false for it.
libmysqld/lib_sql.cc:
use IS_NUM() instead of INTERNAL_NUM_FIELD()
mysql-test/r/bigint.result:
result change: NEWDECIMAL fields now have NUM_FLAG (32768)
mysql-test/r/metadata.result:
result change: NEWDECIMAL fields now have NUM_FLAG (32768)
mysql-test/r/mysqldump.result:
DECIMAL columns are not quoted anymore by mysqldump. Which is ok, the parser does not need '' for them

tests/mysql_client_test.c:
Remove extraneous slash.
when used with --tab
1) New syntax: added CHARACTER SET clause to the
SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE (to complement the same clause in
LOAD DATA INFILE).
mysqldump is updated to use this in --tab mode.
2) ESCAPED BY/ENCLOSED BY field parameters are documented as
accepting CHAR argument, however SELECT .. INTO OUTFILE
silently ignored rests of multisymbol arguments.
For the symmetrical behavior with LOAD DATA INFILE the
server has been modified to fail with the same error:
ERROR 42000: Field separator argument is not what is
expected; check the manual
3) Current LOAD DATA INFILE recognizes field/line separators
"as is" without converting from client charset to data
file charset. So, it is supposed, that input file of
LOAD DATA INFILE consists of data in one charset and
separators in other charset. For the compatibility with
that [buggy] behaviour SELECT INTO OUTFILE implementation
has been saved "as is" too, but the new warning message
has been added:
Non-ASCII separator arguments are not fully supported
This message warns on field/line separators that contain
non-ASCII symbols.
client/mysqldump.c:
mysqldump has been updated to call SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE
statement with a charset from the --default-charset command
line parameter.
mysql-test/r/mysqldump.result:

sql/field.cc:
String conversion code has been moved from check_string_copy_error()
to convert_to_printable() for reuse.
sql/share/errmsg.txt:
New WARN_NON_ASCII_SEPARATOR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED message has been added.
sql/sql_class.cc:
The select_export::prepare() method has been modified to:
1) raise the ER_WRONG_FIELD_TERMINATORS error on multisymbol
ENCLOSED BY/ESCAPED BY field arguments like LOAD DATA INFILE;
2) warn with a new WARN_NON_ASCII_SEPARATOR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED
message on non-ASCII field or line separators.
The select_export::send_data() merhod has been modified to
convert item data to output charset (see new SELECT INTO OUTFILE
syntax). By default the BINARY charset is used for backward
compatibility.
sql/sql_class.h:
The select_export::write_cs field added to keep output
charset.
sql/sql_load.cc:
mysql_load has been modified to warn on non-ASCII field or
line separators with a new WARN_NON_ASCII_SEPARATOR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED
message.
sql/sql_string.cc:
New global function has been added: convert_to_printable()
(common code has been moved from check_string_copy_error()).
sql/sql_string.h:
New String::is_ascii() method and new global convert_to_printable()
function have been added.
sql/sql_yacc.yy:
New syntax: added CHARACTER SET clause to the
SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE (to complement the same clause in
LOAD DATA INFILE). By default the BINARY charset is used for

mysqldump --tab still dumped triggers to stdout rather than to
individual tables.
We now append triggers to the .sql file for the corresponding
table.
--events and --routines correspond to a database rather than a
table and will still go to stdout with --tab unless redirected
with --result-file (-r).
client/mysqldump.c:
Extend open_sql_file_for_table() so we can open-append.
Change dump_triggers_for_table() so it will append its
output to the table's .sql-file when --tab is used.
mysql-test/r/mysqldump.result:
Show that when using --tab, triggers now end up in the .sql
file with the corresponding table (after that table), while
--routines and --events go to stdout or --result-file.
mysql-test/t/mysqldump.test:
Show that when using --tab, triggers now end up in the .sql
