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++.
BUILD/check-cpu:
Print only the compiler version instead of verbose banner.
Although the option is gcc specific, the check was only
being used for GCC specific checks anyway.

Pass a string to function expecting a format string.
Replace use of bcmp with memcmp.

position if fgets succeed -- if it fails, the function will
bail out and return a error.

Use a single array instead of accessing positions of the sbox_
through a subscript to pbox_.
extra/yassl/taocrypt/include/runtime.hpp:

were causing warnings about dead code.

Replace use of bmove_align with memcpy.
storage/innobase/os/os0file.c:

tests/mysql_client_test.c:
Use a appropriate type as expected by simple_command().
POSIX requires that a signal handler defined with sigaction()
is not reset on delivering a signal unless SA_NODEFER or
SA_RESETHAND is set. It is therefore unnecessary to redefine
the handler on signal delivery on platforms where sigaction()
is used without those flags.
include/my_alarm.h:
Renamed DONT_REMEMBER_SIGNAL ->
SIGNAL_HANDLER_RESET_ON_DELIVERY.
include/my_global.h:
Renamed DONT_REMEMBER_SIGNAL ->
SIGNAL_HANDLER_RESET_ON_DELIVERY. The latter is now defined
only on non-BSD platforms missing the POSIX sigaction()
function.
libmysql/libmysql.c:
Renamed DONT_REMEMBER_SIGNAL ->
SIGNAL_HANDLER_RESET_ON_DELIVERY
mysys/thr_alarm.c:
Renamed DONT_REMEMBER_SIGNAL ->
SIGNAL_HANDLER_RESET_ON_DELIVERY
sql/mysqld.cc:
Renamed DONT_REMEMBER_SIGNAL ->
SIGNAL_HANDLER_RESET_ON_DELIVERY
automatic reconnect
A client with automatic reconnect enabled will see the error
message "Lost connection to MySQL server during query" if the
connection is lost between mysql_stmt_prepare() and
mysql_stmt_execute(). The mysql_stmt_errno() number, however,
is 0 -- not the corresponding value 2013.
This patch checks for the case where the prepared statement
has been pruned due to a connection loss (i.e., stmt->mysql
has been set to NULL) during a call to cli_advanced_command(),
and avoids changing the last_errno to the result of the last
reconnect attempt.
(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.

Corrected some packaging bugs:
- install mysqlservices library
- install libmysqlclient_r.so.{16,16.0.0} as links
to libmysqlclient.so
- install libmysqld-debug.a
- install my_safe_process, my_safe_kill and

into correct place ${INSTALL_MYSQLTESTDIR}
cmake/install_layout.cmake:
Fix typo
cmake/install_macros.cmake:
Refactor INSTALL_SYMLINK to allow arbitrary symlink paths.
Old version of this macro would make link extension the same

(would not allow for example libmysqlclient_r.so.16=>./libmysqlclient.so
link)
libmysql/CMakeLists.txt:
Install extra symlinks to libmysqlclient.so
(libmysqlclient_r.so.16 and libmysqlclient_r.so.16.0.0)
for backward compatiblity.
libmysqld/CMakeLists.txt:
install libmysqld-debug.a

A client doing multiple mysql_library_init() and
mysql_library_end() calls over the lifetime of the process may
experience lost character set data, potentially even a
SIGSEGV.
This patch reinstates the reloading of character set data when
a mysql_library_init() is done after a mysql_library_end().
using cmake option INSTALL_LAYOUT=STANDALONE would produce the layout as in
tar.gz or zip packages.
INSTALL_LAYOUT=UNIX will produce unixish install layout (with mysqld being in sbin subdirectory , libs in lib/mysql etc). This layout is used for RPM packages.
Subtle differences in both packages unfortunately lead to the need to recompile MySQL to use with other package type - as otherwise for example default plugins or data directories would be wrong set.
There are numerous other variables that allow fine-tuning packaging layout. (INSTALL_BINDIR, INSTALL_LIBDIR , INSTALL_PLUGINDIR etc).
This options are different from autotools as they do not expect full paths to directories, but only subdirectory of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
There are 2 special options that expect full directory paths
- MYSQL_DATADIR that defines default MYSQL data directory (autotools equivalent
is --localstatedir)
- SYSCONFDIR can be added to search my.cnf search path (autotools equivalent is --sysconfdir)

to string conversions and vice versa"
Initial import of the dtoa.c code and custom wrappers around it
to allow its usage from the server code.
Conversion of FLOAT/DOUBLE values to DECIMAL ones or strings
and vice versa has been significantly reworked. As the new
algoritms are more precise than the older ones, results of such
conversions may not always match those obtained from older
server versions. This in turn may break compatibility for some
applications.
This patch also fixes the following bugs:
- bug #12860 "Difference in zero padding of exponent between
Unix and Windows"
- bug #21497 "DOUBLE truncated to unusable value"
- bug #26788 "mysqld (debug) aborts when inserting specific
numbers into char fields"
- bug #24541 "Data truncated..." on decimal type columns
without any good reason"
The problem is a somewhat common misusage of the strmake function.
The strmake(dst, src, len) function writes at most /len/ bytes to
the string pointed to by src, not including the trailing null byte.
Hence, if /len/ is the exact length of the destination buffer, a
one byte buffer overflow can occur if the length of the source
string is equal to or greater than /len/.
client/mysqldump.c:
Make room for the trailing null byte.
libmysql/libmysql.c:
Add comment, there is enough room in the buffer.
Increase buffer length, two strings are concatenated.

Make room for the trailing null byte.
mysys/default.c:

server-tools/instance-manager/commands.cc:
Copy only if overflow isn't possible in both cases.
server-tools/instance-manager/listener.cc:
Make room for the trailing null byte.
sql/log.cc:

sql/sql_acl.cc:
MAX_HOSTNAME already specifies space for the trailing null byte.
sql/sql_parse.cc:
