One should not change the program arguments!
This change also reduces warnings from the icc compiler.
Almost all changes are just syntax changes (adding const to
'get_one_option function' declarations).
Other changes:
- Added a few cast of 'argument' from 'const char*' to 'char *'. This
was mainly in calls to 'external' functions we don't have control of.
- Ensure that all reset of 'password command line argument' are similar.
(In almost all cases it was just adding a comment and a cast)
- In mysqlbinlog.cc and mysqld.cc there was a few cases that changed
the command line argument. These places where changed to instead allocate
the option in a MEM_ROOT to avoid changing the argument. Some of this
code was changed to ensure that different programs did parsing the
same way. Added a test case for the changes in mysqlbinlog.cc
- Changed a few variables that took their value from command line options
from 'char *' to 'const char *'.
tests mariadb-conv-utf8 and mariadb-conv-cp932 failed on PPC,
because "char" is "unsigned char" on PPC.
Adding a cast from "char" to "signed char" in the two affected places.
- Load and convert the entire input file at once,
rather than reading string-by-string using fgets().
This change makes it possible to convert from UCS2, UTF16, UTF32 data.
- Adding the --delimiter command, to treat the specified
characters as delimiters rather than data to convert.
Useful in combination with `-f filename` or `-t filename`.
The delimiter characters are not converted,
they are copied from the input to the output as is.
- Adding diagnostics with line number and position if:
* an illegal input byte sequence was found
* a character cannot be converted to the target character set
