Reason for the problem was that the hash of changed files in the key cache was too small (was 128). Fixed by making the hash size larger and changeable.
- Introduced key-cache-file-hash-size (default 512) for MyISAM and aria_pagecache_file_hash_size (default 512) for Aria.
- Added new status variable "Feature_delay_key_write" which counts number of tables opened that are using delay_key_write

message:
Bug#17647863: MYSQL DOES NOT COMPILE ON OSX 10.9 GM
Rename test() macro to MY_TEST() to avoid conflict with libc++.
includes:
* remove some remnants of "Bug#14521864: MYSQL 5.1 TO 5.5 BUGS PARTITIONING"
* introduce LOCK_share, now LOCK_ha_data is strictly for engines
* rea_create_table() always creates .par file (even in "frm-only" mode)
* fix a 5.6 bug, temp file leak on dummy ALTER TABLE
- If one specifies --force twice to myisamchk and aria_chk, then we will try to finnish the repair even if sort_buffer would be too small.
This was done by dynamically allocate buffer handler objects as long as memory lasts.
- New option for myisamchk and aria_chk: create-missing-keys
- Changed default size of myisam_sort_buffer_size from 8M to 128M.
- Changed default size of sort_buffer_size in aria_chk from 128M to 256M.
- Increased information in error message about 'sort_buffer_size' beeing to small.
- Print also to 'show warnings' if repair was retried.
- Increased size of internal sort-buffer-readers from 16K to 128K
- Changed printing of 'number of records' to use %ll instead of casting to long
- Changed buffer sizes for myisam and aria to use MY_ALIGN_DOWN() to get same number of bytes allocated on different machines.

TO 'MYISAM_SORT_BUFFER_SIZE'
Problem: 'myisam_sort_buffer_size' is a parameter used by
mysqld program only whereas 'sort_buffer_size' is used by
mysqld and myisamchk programs. But the error message printed
when myisamchk program is run with insufficient buffer size
is myisam_sort_buffer_size is too small which may mislead to the
server parameter myisam_sort_buffer_size.
SOLUTION: A parameter 'myisam_sort_buffer_size' is added as an
alias for 'sort_buffer_size' and the 'sort_buffer_size' parameter
is marked as deprecated. So myisamchk also has both the parameters
with the same role.

"set optimizer_switch to e or d causes invalid memory writes/valgrind warnings":
due to prefix support, the argument "e" was overwritten with its full value
"engine_condition_pushdown", which caused a buffer overrun.
This was wrong usage of find_type(); other wrong usages are fixed here too.
Please start reading with the comment of typelib.c.
client/mysqldump.c:
A bug: find_type() expects a bitmap as 3rd argument
(each bit is a flag controlling a behaviour of the function);
here it was instead passed the length of the string to search!
That could give random behaviour of find_type()
depending on the string.
We rather need to pass a correct flag to find_type().
The correct flag is FIND_TYPE_BASIC (0).
Flag 8 is not needed as buff cannot have a comma (see how buff is filled).
Flag 1 looks like a superfluous restriction.
Flag 4 is not user-friendly (why use
--compatible=2 rather than --compatible=mysql40 ?, and
we probably not commit to "2" always meaning "mysql40"
until the end of times).
include/mysql.h.pp:
This isn't a problematic API change as we go from char* to const char*:
existing code will run unchanged.
include/typelib.h:
named constants. Not an enum to not significantly change
the declaration of find_type() which would be an API change
(typelib.h is included in mysql.h).
mysql-test/r/mysqldump.result:
correct result (see the two requested modes in SQL_MODE)
mysql-test/suite/sys_vars/t/optimizer_switch_basic.test:
test for BUG#59894. The second SET used to crash.
mysql-test/t/mysqldump.test:
we had no test for multiple modes in --compatible, which is
supported according to --help
mysys/typelib.c:
Fix for BUG#59894. parse_name() is asked to match "e" with a row
of the TYPELIB (the TYPELIB lists permitted flags of optimizer_switch;
and comes from optimizer_switch_names[] of sys_vars.cc).
find_type() is capable of supporting prefixes, but if it is not
passed flag 2 in third argument, it will overwrite its first
argument (the string to search for) with the complete name,
here overwriting "e" with "engine_condition_pushdown". But
as this "e" was a buffer allocated in an Item, it was not big
enough to host the longer name, thus the crash.
We don't need to know the complete flag's name; the output used
from find_type() is just the flag's number (== function's return
code). So we can pass flag 2 to find_type() in parse_name().
After doing this fix and the other fixes in this patch, all usages
of find_type() were using flag 2; in most usages the string to search for,
is not guaranteed to be long enough to host the complete name
(it is either directly from argv, or from alloc_root/my_malloc
done in an earlier call).
Thus, flag 2 is here made implicit: callers need not pass it anymore,
it is always automatically turned on.
This allows to eliminate an oddity: parse_name() took a const char**,
and then removed "const" before calling find_type(), which could
theoretically modify the pointed data, thus lying on constness.
Last, constants for find_type() are now named.
sql-common/client.c:
Two bugs:
1) The enum was not in sync with the array (due to a bad porting of WL 1054;
the extra OPT_ values are about options present in 5.1 and deleted in 5.5);
added a compile_time_assert() to make sure this doesn't happen again
2) find_type() was writing past the end of opt_arg; as opt_arg was allocated
with alloc_root() with no extra space, this was an overrun; it could be seen
when
** building with -DWITH_VALGRIND -DHAVE_purify -DEXTRA_DEBUG
** making execution go through the faulty code; this faulty
code is executed only if the client asks to read a configuration
file like this:
mysql_options(mysql, MYSQL_READ_DEFAULT_FILE, "/tmp/cnf.cnf");
so by adding such line to the start of mysql_client_test.c::client_connect(),
we could see the valgrind warning:
==30548== Invalid write of size 1
==30548== at 0x4C2624C: strcpy (mc_replace_strmem.c:303)

This is fixed by having find_type() not overwrite anymore.

Fix assorted warnings that are generated in optimized builds.
Most of it is silencing variables that are set but unused.
This patch also introduces the MY_ASSERT_UNREACHABLE macro
which helps the compiler to deduce that a certain piece of
code is unreachable.
include/my_compiler.h:
Use GCC's __builtin_unreachable if available. It allows
GCC to deduce the unreachability of certain code paths,
thus avoiding warnings that, for example, accused that a
variable could be used without being initialized (due to
unreachable code paths).

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.
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.

include/my_getopt.h:
Use a void pointer type as the opaque type to avoid problems with type
incompatibility -- GCC issues warnings when the type name is not type
compatible with a operand. As a side bonus, a explicit cast won't be
necessary anymore.
include/sslopt-longopts.h:
Remove now-unnecessary casts.
Break up large strings.
mysys/my_getopt.c:
Update opaque type and introduce a type definition for the
argument to my_getopt_register_get_addr.
server-tools/instance-manager/options.cc:
Remove now-unnecessary casts.
sql/mysqld.cc:
Remove now-unnecessary casts.
Break up large strings.
Update mysql_getopt_value prototype (the old prototype
was different from the definition anyway).
sql/sql_plugin.cc:
The type of a pointer to a function must be compatible with the
pointed-to function type, otherwise the behavior is undefined.
sql/table.cc:
The variable buf pointer to pointer to pointer to constant char
could improperly alias a incompatible type in call to fix_type_
pointers. Since this was actually dead code, it is simply removed.
sql/unireg.cc:
Remove call to get_form_pos. The code creates a new FRM file which
is always truncated and writes the form position as 0. Hence, no
need to retrieve it, we now for sure it is 0.
