The problem is that the logic which checks if a pointer is
valid relies on a poor heuristic based on the start and end
addresses of the data segment and heap.
Apart from miscalculating the heap bounds, this approach also
suffers from the fact that memory can come from places other
than the heap. See Bug#58528 for a more detailed explanation.
On Linux, the solution is to access the process's memory
through /proc/self/task/<tid>/mem, which allows for retrieving
the contents of pages within the virtual address space of
the calling process. If a address range is not mapped, a
input/output error is returned.
GCOV builds were broken after the patch for Bug#57933
which added add -Wdeclaration-after-statement to gcc builds.
This patch fixes:
stacktrace.c:328: warning: ISO C90 forbids mixed
declarations and code
No test case added.

With statement- or mixed-mode logging, "LOAD DATA INFILE" queries
are written to the binlog using special types of log events.
When mysqlbinlog reads such events, it re-creates the file in a
temporary directory with a generated filename and outputs a
"LOAD DATA INFILE" query where the filename is replaced by the
generated file. The temporary file is not deleted by mysqlbinlog
after termination.
To fix the problem, in mixed mode we go to row-based. In SBR, we
document it to remind user the tmpfile is left in a temporary
directory.
mysqld-debug.exe in 5.5.3 on windows
Fix:
- Do not rename PDB, install mysqld.pdb matching
mysqld-debug.exe into bin\debug subdirectory
- Stack tracing code will now additionally look in
debug subdirectory of the application directory
for debug symbols.
- Small cleanup in stacktracing code: link with
dbghelp rather than load functions dynamically
at runtime, since dbghelp.dll is always present.
- Install debug binaries with WiX

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.
Another problem is that the backtrace facility wasn't being
enabled for non-Linux targets even if the target OS has the
backtrace functions. Also, the stacktrace functions inside
mysqltest were being used without proper checks for their
presence in the build.
The problem was that when a embedded linked version of mysqltest
crashed there was no way to obtain a stack trace if no core file
is available. Another problem is that the embedded version of
libmysql was not behaving (crash) the same as the non-embedded with
respect to sending commands to a explicitly closed connection.
The solution is to generate a mysqltest's stack trace on crash
and to enable "reconnect" if the connection handle was explicitly
closed so the behavior matches the non-embedded one.
