Quoting from the bug report:
The pstack library has been included in MySQL since version
4.0.0. It's useless and should be removed.
Details: According to its own documentation, pstack only works
on Linux on x86 in 32 bit mode and requires LinuxThreads and a
statically linked binary. It doesn't really support any Linux
from 2003 or later and doesn't work on any other OS.
The --enable-pstack option is thus deprecated and has no effect.
Backport from 6.0 to 5.1.
Only those sync points are included, which are used in debug_sync.test.
The Debug Sync Facility allows to place synchronization points
in the code:
open_tables(...)
DEBUG_SYNC(thd, "after_open_tables");
lock_tables(...)
When activated, a sync point can
- Send a signal and/or
- Wait for a signal
Nomenclature:
- signal: A value of a global variable that persists
until overwritten by a new signal. The global
variable can also be seen as a "signal post"
or "flag mast". Then the signal is what is
attached to the "signal post" or "flag mast".
- send a signal: Assign the value (the signal) to the global
variable ("set a flag") and broadcast a
global condition to wake those waiting for
a signal.
- wait for a signal: Loop over waiting for the global condition until
the global value matches the wait-for signal.
Please find more information in the top comment in debug_sync.cc
or in the worklog entry.
- Define and pass compile time path variables as pre-processor definitions to
mimic the makefile build.
- Set new CMake version and policy requirements explicitly.
- Changed DATADIR to MYSQL_DATADIR to avoid conflicting definition in
Platform SDK header ObjIdl.h which also defines DATADIR.
Visual Studio 2008 Express edition does not include message compiler mc.exe
It is not possible to build MySQL server if only VC2008 Express is installed,
because we use mc.exe to generate event log messages.
This patch removes the mc.exe dependency. Generated files message.h,
message.rc and MSG00001.bin are checked into source code repository.
Instructions on how to add or change messages are added to messages.mc
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.
The event scheduler was not designed to work in embedded mode. This
patch disables and excludes the event scheduler when the server is
compiled for embedded build.
Corrects build problems embedded on Windows
Makefile.am:
Install .sym or mysqld-debug if exists
query_cache_debug.test, query_cache_debug.result:
Set more resonable query cache size (bug#35749)
CMakeLists.txt:
Added missing stacktrace.c
and allow override for binary distributions. Extend mysql_config
to print compiled-in plugin location for third-party plugins to
use. Resolves bug#31736.
Always include all sub directories in "make dist"
Removed incorrect comment
configure.in:
Unconditionally list make files in AC_CONFIG_FILES
Removed 'thread_dirs', it is not used
Minor cleanup
compile-dist:
Simplified the configure line needed for "make dist" to get it all
zlib.m4, ssl.m4:
Unconditionally list make files in AC_CONFIG_FILES
Makefile.am:
Removed DIST_SUBDIRS not needed
Don't copy soft links as files into source package
In Automake,
mysqld_LDADD = libndb.la
only adds libndb to the link command for mysqld,
but does not declare a dependency.
Added libndb.la to mysqld_DEPENDENCIES
This fix a build race condition that currently
breaks make -J builds, and also enforce a re-link
of mysqld when libndb.la changes.
Adding new fields Last_{IO,SQL}_Errno and Last_{IO,SQL}_Error to output
of SHOW SLAVE STATUS to hold errors from I/O and SQL thread respectively.
Old fields Last_Error and Last_Errno are aliases for Last_SQL_Error and
Last_SQL_Errno respectively.
Fields are added last to output of SHOW SLAVE STATUS to allow old applications
to use the same positional arguments into the row, while allowing new
application to benefit from the added information.
In addition, some new error codes are added (especially for the I/O
thread) to be able to provide sensible error message.
Refactored code for engine_condition_pushdown to ha_ndbcluster_cond
Makefile.am:
Added compilation of ha_ndbcluster_cond
ha_ndbcluster_cond.h, ha_ndbcluster_cond.cc:
Merge
Taking code from before BUG#22583 and incorporating as events to be able
to read old events. Also incorporating old pack and unpack functions
into patch.
Adding an event that can be used to denote that an incident occured
on the master. The event can be used to denote a gap in the replication
stream, but can also be used to denote other incidents.
In addition, the injector interface is extended with functions to
generate an incident event. The function will also rotate the binary
log after generating an incident event to get a fresh binary log.
