Now thd->mem_root is a pointer to thd->main_mem_root and THR_MALLOC is a pointer to thd->mem_root.
This gives us the following benefits:
- Allow us to easily detect if arena has already been swapped before (this fixes a bug in setup_conds() where arena was swaped twice in some cases)
- Faster swaps of arenas (as we don't have to copy the whole MEM_ROOT)
- We don't anymore have to call my_pthread_setspecific_ptr(THR_MALLOC,...) to change where memory is alloced. Now it's enough to set thd->mem_root
Simple optimzations and cleanups
Removed compiler warnings and fixed portability issues
Added client functions 'mysql_embedded()' to allow client to check if we are using embedded server
Fixes for purify
BUG #5831 Revoke privileges in a loop until no more privileges are revoked, because acl_dbs and column_priv_hash can re-organize during privilege removal.
Logging to logging@openlogging.org accepted
sql_acl.cc, grant.test, grant.result:
BUG 5831 Changed mysql_revoke_all() to successfully delete all privileges for a user in one pass.
don't be confused if new privilege - ENUM ('N','Y') - columns are added (mostly because of downgrade)
don't expect NOT NULL fields to never contain a NULL :) - somebody may've changed table definition, or we may be reading the wrong column
more logical table/index_flags
return HA_ERR_WRONG_COMMAND instead of abstract methods where appropriate
max_keys and other limits renamed to max_supported_keys/etc
max_keys/etc are now wrappers to max_supported_keys/etc
ha_index_init/ha_rnd_init/ha_index_end/ha_rnd_end are now wrappers to real {index,rnd}_{init,end} to enforce strict pairing
names to lower case using latin1 instead of utf-8 in sql_acl.cc if lower_case_table_names
was on. Also replaced in other such places system_charset_info with files_charset_info
for consistency.
New records_in_range() interface (similar to read_range())
Macros for faster bitmap handling
Simplify read_range() code (#WL1786)
New general key_cmp() function to compare keys
Fixed security problem that password was temporarly reset when someone changed GRANT for a user. (Bug #3404)
Fixed problem with PROCEDURE analyse() and impossible WHERE (Bug #2238)
Don't auto-repair tables in mysqlcheck if table type doesn't support 'check' command.
Output TIMESTAMP in 4.1 format for 4.1 tables (or for TIMESTAMP(19)) (portability fix)
Fixed that INTERVAL can handle big integers. (Bug #3498)
Fixed that hostname="" works identical as hostname="%" for table/column grants (Bug #3473)
