Bug#18187290 ISSUE WITH BUILDING MYSQL USING CMAKE 2.8.12
We want to upgrade to VS2013 on Windows.
In order to do this, we need to upgrade to cmake 2.8.12
This has introduced some incompatibilities for .pdb files,
and "make install" no longer works.
To reproduce:
cmake --build . --target package --config debug
The fix:
Rather than installing .pdb files for static libraries, we use the /Z7 flag
to store symbolic debugging information in the .obj files.
ERROR HANDLING CODE
BACKGROUND:
There can be a potential crash due to buffer overrun in
SSL error handling code due to missing comma in
ssl_error_string[] array in viosslfactories.c.
ANALYSIS:
Found by code Inspection.
FIX:
Added the missing comma in SSL error handling code
in ssl_error_string[] array in viosslfactories.c.

OPENSSL
Description: Specify preference to disable compression
while using OpenSSL library. OpenSSL uses
zlib compression by default which may
lead to some problems.
CONNECTIONS IF SPE
Problem description: -ssl-key value is not validated, you can assign any bogus
text to --ssl-key and it is not verified that it exists, and more importantly,
it allows the client to connect to mysqld.
Fix: Added proper validations checks for --ssl-key.
Note:
1) Documentation changes require for 5.1, 5.5, 5.6 and trunk in the sections
listed below and the details are :
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/ssl-options.html#option_general_ssl
and
REQUIRE SSL section of
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/grant.html
2) Client having with option '--ssl', should able to get ssl connection. This
will be implemented as part of separate fix in 5.6 and trunk.
On shutdown(), Windows can drop traffic still queued for sending even if that
wasn't specifically requested. As a result, fatal errors (those after
signaling which the server will drop the connection) were sometimes only
seen as "connection lost" on the client side, because the server-side
shutdown() erraneously discarded the correct error message before sending
it.
If on Windows, we now use the Windows API to access the (non-broken) equivalent
of shutdown().
Backport from trunk

The thing is that on Windows XP getnameinfo() returns WSANO_DATA
when hostname-lookup is not available. The problem was that
this error code was treated as serious error and the client
connection got rejected.
The fix is to treat all errors from getnameinfo() as not ciritical,
but add IP-address to the host cache only for EAI_NONAME (or WSANO_DATA).
The autotools-based build system has been superseded and
is being removed in order to ease the maintenance burden on
developers tweaking and maintaining the build system.
In order to support tools that need to extract the server
version, a new file that (only) contains the server version,
called VERSION, is introduced. The file contents are human
and machine-readable. The format is:
MYSQL_VERSION_MAJOR=5
MYSQL_VERSION_MINOR=5
MYSQL_VERSION_PATCH=8
MYSQL_VERSION_EXTRA=-rc
The CMake based version extraction in cmake/mysql_version.cmake
is changed to extract the version from this file. The configure
to CMake wrapper is retained for backwards compatibility and to
support the BUILD/ scripts. Also, a new a makefile target
show-dist-name that prints the server version is introduced.
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.
In order to allow thread schedulers to be dynamically loaded,
it is necessary to make the following changes to the server:
- Two new service interfaces
- Modifications to InnoDB to inform the thread scheduler of state changes.
- Changes to the VIO subsystem for checking if data is available on a socket.
- Elimination of remains of the old thread pool implementation.
The two new service interfaces introduces are:
my_thread_scheduler
A service interface to register a thread
scheduler.
thd_wait
A service interface to inform thread scheduler
that the thread is about to start waiting.
In addition, the patch adds code that:
- Add a call to thd_wait for table locks in mysys
thd_lock.c by introducing a set function that
can be used to set a callback to be used when
waiting on a lock and resuming from waiting.
- Calling the mysys set function from the server
to set the callbacks correctly.
The thing is that on some platforms (e.g. Mac OS X) sockaddr_in / sockaddr_in6
contain a non-standard field (sin_len / sin6_len), that must be set.
The problem was that only standard fields were set, thus getnameinfo() returned
EAI_SYSTEM instead of EAI_NONAME.
The fix is to introduce configure-time checks (for GNU auto-tools and CMake) for
those additional fields and to set them if they are available.
(make relies GNU extentions). The patch was partially
backport from 6.0.
Original comment:
bug#30708: make relies GNU extensions. Now that we no longer use
BitKeeper we can safely remove the SCCS handling with no loss of
functionality.
