The build scripts in general, using automake, autoconf, etc, contain several
special commands and work around all related to the way the bison code in the
parser is built, for sql/sql_yacc.yy. These work arounds, accumulated over
time during development, ultimately cause the build scripts to be unstable
and cause build defects by not enforcing dependencies.
This fix simplifies the build process and aligns it with the automake tooling,
which provides native support for bison and *.yy files.
In particular, the following problem have been fixed:
- dependencies with sql_yacc.cc were not honored (Bug 21029), leading to
corrupted builds,
- the work around introduced by Bug 24557, to cleanup the generated files
sql_yacc.h and sql_yacc.cc, has been removed,
- the generated makefile, in a source distribution, used to destroy the files
sql_yacc.h and sql_yacc.cc on a 'make clean' target. This has been fixed:
these files are now removed by make maintainer-clean.
- The root cause of the problem found with gcc 4.1 (see Bug 24619) has been
clearly documented, and the "sed" hack has been replaced by a cleaner
work around, when building the code with bison 1.875.
- Removed the file sql/sql_yacc.yy.bak, added by WL 3031 by accident.
- Removed the unnecessary AM_YFLAG= --debug introduced by WL 3432, since
the compiling option DBUG_OFF takes precedence when setting YYDEBUG.
According to some internal communication, these two functions are place
holders for future enhancements. Because they use a variable number of
parameters, the implementation defined a reserved keyword for them in the
parser grammar.
Unfortunately, doing so creates a bug similar to Bug 21114 reported for the
function FORMAT.
In the 5.1 code base, due to improvements in the code implemented with bug
21114, having a reserved keyword for functions with a variable number of
arguments is not needed any more by the implementation.
As a result, this fix removes the place-holder implementation, and removes
the unnecessary reserved keywords. Should the functions UNIQUE_USERS and
GROUP_UNIQUE_USERS be finally implemented in a later release, the
implementation should sub class Create_native_func in sql/item_create.cc.
For example, see the class Create_func_concat.

Backport of functionality in private 5.2 tree.
Added new language to parser, new mysql.servers table and associated code
to be used by the federated storage engine to allow central connection information
per WL entry.
(Mostly in DBUG_PRINT() and unused arguments)
Fixed bug in query cache when used with traceing (--with-debug)
Fixed memory leak in mysqldump
Removed warnings from mysqltest scripts (replaced -- with #)
Fixed some possible fatal wrong arguments to printf() style functions
Initialized some not initialized variables
Fixed bug in stored procedure and continue handlers
(Fixes Bug#22150)
should be a separate module (i.e. a class) to make it easier to maintain the
code, e.g. by having checks within the rli checking sanity of data and making
member variables private. This will also ease implementation of multi-source
and, at least in my fantasies :), make it possible in some future to have
separate replication servers.
