- Create the "dummy" thread joinable and wait for it to
exit before continuing in 'my_thread_global_init'
- This way we know that the pthread library is initialized
by one thread only
Option "--without-server" still not working in 5.1
The general approach is to make sure that source files
which require thread support are only compiled if the build
really needs thread support,
which means when the server is built or a thread-safe client
library.
This required several changes:
- Make sure the subdirectories "storage/" and "plugin/" are
only processed if the server is built, not ifclient-only.
- Make the compilation of some modules which inherently
require threading depend on thread supportin the build.
- Separate the handling of threading in "configure.in" from
that of server issues, threading is also needed in a
non-server build of a thread-safe client library.
Also, "libdbug" must get built even in a client-only build,
so "dbug/" must be in the list of client directories.
In addition, calls to thread functions in source files which
can be built without thread support must use the wrapper
functions which handle the non-threaded build.
So the modules "client/mysqlimport.c" and "client/mysqlslap.c"
must call "my_thread_end()" only via "mysql_thread_end()".
Bug#24509 - 2048 file descriptor limit on windows needs increasing, also
WL#3049 - improved Windows I/O
The patch replaces the use of the POSIX I/O interfaces in mysys on Windows with
the Win32 API calls (CreateFile, WriteFile, etc). The Windows HANDLE for the open
file is stored in the my_file_info struct, along with a flag for append mode
because the Windows API does not support opening files in append mode in all cases)
The default max open files has been increased to 16384 and can be increased further
by setting --max-open-files=<value> during the server start.
Another major change in this patch that almost all Windows specific file IO code
has been moved to a new file my_winfile.c, greatly reducing the amount of code
in #ifdef blocks within mysys, thus improving readability.
Minor enhancements:
- my_(f)stat() is changed to use __stati64 structure with 64 file size
and timestamps. It will return correct file size now (C runtime implementation
used to report outdated information)
- my_lock on Windows is prepared to handle additional timeout parameter
- after review : changed __WIN__ to _WIN32 in the new and changed code.

available to 5.1.
can crash under load
Backport from 5.1.
Does also include key cache fixes from:

CREATE TABLE...LIKE...
The mysql server option 'sync_frm' is ignored when table is created with
syntax CREATE TABLE .. LIKE..
Fixed by adding the MY_SYNC flag and calling my_sync() from my_copy() when
the flag is set.
In mysql_create_table(), when the 'sync_frm' is set, MY_SYNC flag is passed
to my_copy().
Note: TestCase is not attached and can be tested manually using debugger.
with gcc 4.3.2
This patch fixes a number of GCC warnings about variables used
before initialized. A new macro UNINIT_VAR() is introduced for
use in the variable declaration, and LINT_INIT() usage will be
gradually deprecated. (A workaround is used for g++, pending a
patch for a g++ bug.)
GCC warnings for unused results (attribute warn_unused_result)
for a number of system calls (present at least in later
Ubuntus, where the usual void cast trick doesn't work) are
also fixed.
decrease for INSERTs
Bulk inserts (multiple row, CREATE ... SELECT, INSERT ... SELECT) into
MyISAM tables were performed inefficiently. This was mainly affecting
use cases where read_buffer_size was considerably large (>256K) and low
number of rows was inserted (e.g. 30-100).
The problem was that during I/O cache initialization (this happens
before each bulk insert) allocated I/O buffer was unnecessarily
initialized to '\0'.
This was happening because of mess in flag values. MyISAM informs I/O
cache to wait for free space (if out of disk space) by passing
MY_WAIT_IF_FULL flag. Since MY_WAIT_IF_FULL and MY_ZEROFILL have the
same values, memory allocator was initializing memory to '\0'.
The performance gain provided with this patch may only be visible with
non-debug binaries, since safemalloc always initializes allocated memory
to 0xA5A5...

Next step: build, test fixes.
- Define and pass compile time path variables as pre-processor definitions to
mimic the makefile build.
- Set new CMake version and policy requirements explicitly.
- Changed DATADIR to MYSQL_DATADIR to avoid conflicting definition in
Platform SDK header ObjIdl.h which also defines DATADIR.
This patch is a follow up to http://lists.mysql.com/commits/76678.
When an allocation failure occurs for the buffer in the dynamic
array, an error condition was being set. The dynamic array is
usable even if the memory allocation fails. Since in most cases
the thread can continue to work without any problems the error
condition should not be set here.
This patch adds logic to remove the error condition from being set
when the memory allocation for the buffer in dynamic array fails.
Because of a regression introduced by bug#19027 the option --enable-foobar
doesn't work anymore for any plugin 'foobar'. The reason is that plugin
names are tristate options variables with optional parameters and integer
values are not accepted. Since the 'enable' prefix attempts to assign '1'
to the option the operation fails.
This patch translates any number n assigned to a plugin variable of type ENUM
to be the corresponding enumerated item. As a side effect --enable-foobar and
--disable-foobar will also start working again.
The merge from http://lists.mysql.com/commits/76678 caused the
growth_size parameter to the my_init_dynamic_array function to
be ignored. This patch corrects the problem.
