Added locking of lock mutex when updating status in external_unlock() for Aria and MyISAM tables.
Fixed that 'source' command doesn't cause mysql command line tool to exit on error.
DEBUG_EXECUTE() and DEBUG_EVALUATE_IF() should not execute things based on wildcards. (Allows one to run --debug with mysql-test-run scripts that uses @debug)
Fixed several core dump, deadlock and crashed table bugs in handling of LOCK TABLE with MERGE tables:
- Added priority of locks to avoid crashes with MERGE tables.
- Added thr_lock_merge() to allow one to merge two results of thr_lock().
Fixed 'not found row' bug in REPLACE with Aria tables.
Mark MyISAM tables that are part of MERGE with HA_OPEN_MERGE_TABLE and set the locks to have priority THR_LOCK_MERGE_PRIV.
- By sorting MERGE tables last in thr_multi_unlock() it's safer to release and relock them many times (can happen when TRIGGERS are created)
Avoid printing (null) in debug file (to easier find out wrong NULL pointer usage with %s).
client/mysql.cc:
Fixed that 'source' command doesn't cause mysql command line tool to exit on error.
client/mysqltest.cc:
Don't send NULL to fn_format(). (Can cause crash on Solaris when using --debug)
dbug/dbug.c:
DEBUG_EXECUTE() and DEBUG_EVALUATE_IF() should not execute things based on wildcards.
include/my_base.h:
Added flag to signal if one opens a MERGE table.
Added extra() command to signal that one is not part of a MERGE table anymore.
include/thr_lock.h:
Added priority for locks (needed to fix bug in thr_lock when using MERGE tables)
Added option to thr_unlock() if get_status() should be called.
Added prototype for thr_merge_locks().
mysql-test/mysql-test-run.pl:
Ignore crashed table warnings for tables named 'crashed'.
mysql-test/r/merge.result:
Renamed triggers to make debugging easier.
Added some CHECK TABLES to catch errors earlier.
Additional tests.
mysql-test/r/merge_debug.result:
Test of error handling when reopening MERGE tables.

mysys/my_getopt.c:
Removed not used variable
mysys/my_symlink2.c:
Changed (null) to (NULL) to make it easier to find NULL arguments to DBUG_PRINT() functions.
(On linux, NULL to sprintf is printed 'null')
mysys/thr_lock.c:
Added priority of locks to avoid crashes with MERGE tables.
Added thr_lock_merge() to allow one to merge two results of thr_lock().
- This is needed for MyISAM as all locked table must share the same status. If not, you will not see newly inserted rows in other instances of the table.
If calling thr_unlock() with THR_UNLOCK_UPDATE_STATUS, call update_status() and restore_status() for the locks. This is needed in some rare cases where we call thr_unlock() followed by thr_lock() without calling external_unlock/external_lock in between.
Simplify loop in thr_multi_lock().
Added 'start_trans', which is called at end of thr_multi_lock() when all locks are taken.
- This was needed by Aria to ensure that transaction is started when we got all locks, not at get_status(). Without this, some rows could not be visible when we lock two tables at the same time, causing REPLACE using two tables to fail unexpectedly.
sql/handler.cc:
Add an assert() in handler::print_error() for "impossible errors" (like table is crashed) when --debug-assert-if-crashed-table is used.
sql/lock.cc:
Simplify mysql_lock_tables() code if get_lock_data() returns 0 locks.
Added new parameter to thr_multi_unlock()
In mysql_unlock_read_tables(), call first externa_unlock(), then thr_multi_unlock(); This is same order as we do in mysql_unlock_tables().
Don't abort locks in mysql_lock_abort() for merged tables when a MERGE table is deleted; Would cause a spin lock.
Added call to thr_merge_locks() in mysql_lock_merge() to ensure consistency in thr_locks().
- New locks of same type and table is stored after the old lock to ensure that we get the status from the original lock.
sql/mysql_priv.h:
Added debug_assert_if_crashed_table
sql/mysqld.cc:
Added --debug-assert-if-crashed-table
sql/parse_file.cc:

sql/set_var.cc:
Increase default size of buffer for @debug variable.
sql/sql_base.cc:
In case of error from reopen_table() in reopen_tables(), call unlock_open_table() and restart loop.
- This fixed bug when we twice deleted same table from open_cache.
Don't take name lock for already name locked table in open_unireg_entry().
- Fixed bug when doing repair in reopen_table().
- In detach_merge_children(), always detach if 'clear_refs' is given. We can't trust parent->children_attached as this function can be called twice, first time with clear_refs set to 0.
sql/sql_class.cc:
Changed printing of (null) to "" in set_thd_proc_info()
sql/sql_parse.cc:
Added DBUG
sql/sql_trigger.cc:

Changed to use start_trans() instead of get_status() to ensure that we see all rows in all locked tables when we got the locks.
- Fixed 'not found row' bug in REPLACE with Aria tables.
storage/maria/ma_state.c:
Added _ma_update_status_with_lock() and _ma_block_start_trans().
This is to ensure that we see all rows in all locked tables when we got the locks.
storage/maria/ma_state.h:
Added _ma_update_status_with_lock()
storage/maria/ma_write.c:
More DBUG_PRINT
storage/myisam/mi_check.c:

Call mi_update_status_with_lock() when releasing write locks.
- Fixes potential problem with updating status without the proper lock.
Change to use new HA_OPEN_MERGE_TABLE flag to test if MERGE table.

storage/myisam/mi_open.c:
Added marker if part of MERGE table.
Call mi_fix_status() in thr_lock() for transactional tables.
storage/myisam/myisamdef.h:
Change my_once_flag to uint, as it stored different values than just 0/1
Added 'open_flag' to store state given to mi_open()
storage/myisammrg/ha_myisammrg.cc:
Add THR_LOCK_MERGE_PRIV to THR_LOCK_DATA to get MERGE locks sorted after other types of locks.

Fixed compiler warning
storage/xtradb/buf/buf0lru.c:
Initialize variable that could be used not initialized.
The fix is to:
- introduce ORACLE_WELCOME_COPYRIGHT_NOTICE define to have a single place

The problem was duplicated memory usage with long packed keys.
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.
client/mysqldump.c:
Pass my_free directly as its signature is compatible with the
callback type -- which wasn't the case for free_table_ent.

Apart strict-aliasing warnings, fix the remaining warnings
generated by GCC 4.4.4 -Wall and -Wextra flags.
One major source of warnings was the in-house function my_bcmp
which (unconventionally) took pointers to unsigned characters
as the byte sequences to be compared. Since my_bcmp and bcmp
are deprecated functions whose only difference with memcmp is
the return value, every use of the function is replaced with
memcmp as the special return value wasn't actually being used
by any caller.
There were also various other warnings, mostly due to type
mismatches, missing return values, missing prototypes, dead
code (unreachable) and ignored return values.
BUILD/SETUP.sh:
Remove flags that are implied by -Wall and -Wextra.
Do not warn about unused parameters in C++.

strict aliasing violations.
Essentially, the problem is that large parts of the server were
developed in simpler times (last decades, pre C99 standard) when
strict aliasing and compilers supporting such optimizations were
rare to non-existent. Thus, when compiling the server with a modern
compiler that uses strict aliasing rules to perform optimizations,
there are several places in the code that might trigger undefined
behavior.
As evinced by some recent bugs, GCC does a somewhat good of job
misoptimizing such code, but on the other hand also gives warnings
about suspicious code. One problem is that the warnings aren't
always accurate, yet we can't afford to just shut them off as we
might miss real cases. False-positive cases are aggravated mostly
by casts that are likely to trigger undefined behavior.
The solution is to start a cleanup process focused on fixing and
reducing the amount of strict-aliasing related warnings produced
by GCC and others compilers. A good deal of noise reduction can
be achieved by just removing useless casts that are product of
historical cruft and are likely to trigger undefined behavior if
dereferenced.

strict aliasing violations.
Essentially, the problem is that large parts of the server were
developed in simpler times (last decades, pre C99 standard) when
strict aliasing and compilers supporting such optimizations were
rare to non-existent. Thus, when compiling the server with a modern
compiler that uses strict aliasing rules to perform optimizations,
there are several places in the code that might trigger undefined
behavior.
As evinced by some recent bugs, GCC does a somewhat good of job
misoptimizing such code, but on the other hand also gives warnings
about suspicious code. One problem is that the warnings aren't
always accurate, yet we can't afford to just shut them off as we
might miss real cases. False-positive cases are aggravated mostly
by casts that are likely to trigger undefined behavior.
The solution is to start a cleanup process focused on fixing and
reducing the amount of strict-aliasing related warnings produced
by GCC and others compilers. A good deal of noise reduction can
be achieved by just removing useless casts that are product of
historical cruft and are likely to trigger undefined behavior if
dereferenced.
Fix various mismatches between function's language linkage. Any
particular function that is declared in C++ but should be callable
from C must have C linkage. Note that function types with different
linkages are also distinct. Thus, if a function type is declared in
C code, it will have C linkage (same if declared in a extern "C"
block).
