Although the C standard mandates that sprintf return the number
of bytes written, some very ancient systems (i.e. SunOS 4)
returned a pointer to the buffer instead. Since these systems
are not supported anymore and are hopefully long dead by now,
simply remove the portability wrapper that dealt with this
discrepancy. The autoconf check was causing trouble with GCC.
Introduce a MySQL maintainer/developer mode that enables
a set of warning options for the C/C++ compiler. This mode
is intended to help improve the overall quality of the code.
The warning options are:
C_WARNINGS="-Wall -Wextra -Wunused -Wwrite-strings -Werror"
CXX_WARNINGS="$C_WARNINGS -Wno-unused-parameter"
Since -Wall is essentially a moving target, autoconf checks
are not run with warning options enabled, in particualr -Werror.
This decision might be revisited in the future. The patch also
fixes a mistake in the makefiles, where automake CXXFLAGS would
be set to CFLAGS.
In bug-28430 HA_PRIMARY_KEY_REQUIRED_FOR_POSITION
was disabled in the partitioning engine in the first patch,
That bug was later fixed a second time, but that flag
was not removed.
No need to disable this flag, as it leads to bad
choise in row replication.
The problem there is that HAVING condition evaluates const
parts of condition despite the condition has references
on aggregate functions. Table t1 became const tables
after make_join_statistics and table1.pk = 1, HAVING is
transformed into MAX(1) < 7 and taken away from HAVING.
The fix is to skip evaluation of HAVING conts parts if
HAVING condition has references on aggregate functions.
Problem: Item_str_ascii_func::val_str() did not set
charset of the returned value properly.

The handler function for reading one row from a specific index
was not optimized in the partitioning handler since it
used the default implementation.
No test case since it is performance only, verified by hand.
The server was not cleaning up some dbug allocated memory
before exiting. This is not a real problem, as this memory
would be deallocated anyway. Nonetheless, we improve the
mysqlbinlog exit procedure, wrt to memory book-keeping, when
no parameter is given.
To fix this, we deploy a call to my_end() before the
thread exits.
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.

Bug#54515: Crash in opt_range.cc::get_best_group_min_max on
SELECT from VIEW with GROUP BY
When handling the grouping items in get_best_group_min_max, the
items need to be of type Item_field. In this bug, an ASSERT
triggered because the item used for grouping was an
Item_direct_view_ref (i.e., the group column is from a view).
The fix is to get the real_item since Item_ref* pointing to
Item_field is ok.

table immediately after
The problem was that rows inserted in a table by one connection was
not immediately visible if another connection queried the table,
even if the insert had committed.
The reason for the problem was that the server sent a status reply
to the client before it actually did the commit. Therefore it was
possible to get an OK from the server before the changes were made
permanent and visible to other connections.
This patch fixes the problem by not sending status messages to the
server until any changes made have been committed. No test case added
as reproducing the error requires very specific timing betweeen the
server and two or more clients.
This patch also fixes the following (duplicate) bugs:
Bug #29334 pseudo-finished SHOW GLOBAL STATUS
Bug #36618 myisam insert not immediately visible to select from another client
Bug #45864 insert on one connection, immediate query on another produces no result
Bug #51329 Inserts from one connection not immediately visible in second
connection
Bug #41516 Assertion fails when error returned from
handler::external_lock(thd, F_UNLCK)
This crash occured after ALTER TABLE was used on a temporary
transactional table locked by LOCK TABLES. Any later attempts to
execute LOCK/UNLOCK TABLES, caused the server to crash.
The reason for the crash was the list of locked tables would
end up having a pointer to a free'd table instance. This happened
because ALTER TABLE deleted the table without also removing the
table reference from the locked tables list.
This patch fixes the problem by making sure ALTER TABLE also
removes the table from the locked tables list.
Test case added to innodb_mysql.test.
Since the original fix for this bug lowercases the search pattern it's not a
good idea to copy the search pattern to the output instead of the real table
name found (since, depending on the case mode these two names may differ in
case).
Fixed the infrmation_schema.test failure by making sure the actual table
name of an inoformation schema table is passed instead of the lookup pattern
even when the pattern doesn't contain wildcards.
Problem: sha2() reported its result as BINARY
Fix:
- Inheriting Item_func_sha2 from Item_str_ascii_func
- Setting max_length via fix_length_and_charset()
instead of direct assignment.
- Adding tests
Problem: Item_copy did not set "fixed", which resulted in DBUG_ASSERT in some cases.
Fix: adding initialization of the "fixed" member
Adding tests:

mysql-test/r/ctype_binary.result
mysql-test/r/ctype_cp1251.result
mysql-test/r/ctype_latin1.result
mysql-test/r/ctype_ucs.result

value and NO_ZERO_DATE
The problem was that a older version of the error path for a
failed admin statement relied upon a few error conditions being
met in order to access a table handler, the first one being that
the table object pointer was not NULL. Probably due to chance,
in all cases a table object was closed but the reference wasn't
reset, the other conditions didn't evaluate to true. With the
addition of a new check on the error path, the handler started
being dereferenced whenever it was not reset to NULL, causing
problems for code paths which closed the table but didn't reset
the reference.
The solution is to reset the reference whenever a admin statement
fails and the tables are closed.
