It happens when you are trying to read two or more log files from a
remote server using mysqlbinlog utility.
The reason for this is no matching mysql_close() that concludes the
life time of 'mysql' struct describing connection to the server.
This happens when mysqlbinlog is invoked with connecting to the server
and requesting more than one binlog file. In such case
dump_remote_log_entries() keeps calling safe_connect() per eachfile,
never caring to invoke mysql_close(). Only the final safe_connect()'s
allocation effect are cleaned by the base code.
That is with 2 files there's one 'mysql' connection descriptor struct
uncleaned/deallocated.
We are backporting the bug 21255763 (pushed in mysql-trunk)
in the earlier version of MySQL starting from 5.5 to 5.7.
which was pushed in mysql-trunk.
Fix:
Invoke mysql_close() just before mysql_init() in safe_connect()
defined in mysqlbinlog.cc. That makes possibly previously used 'mysql' be
reclaimed prior a new one is allocated.
`--help` is a perfectly valid parameter and both `mysqladmin` and
`mysql_waitpid` should exit with success (zero errror code).

Fix test whether process is alive in mysqltest.
Also fix SHUT_RD definition on Windows to be SD_RECEIVE.
SD_BOTH was used instead prior to this patch, and this would
occasionally make mysql_shutdown() fail - when the socket for the current connection
is not able send the COM_SHUTDOWN response anymore.
ERROR MESSAGE
Description:- Mtr test, "main.mysqldump" is failing with an
assert when "mysqlimport" client utility is executed with
the option "--use_threads".
Analysis:- "mysqlimport" uses the option, "--use_threads",
to spawn worker threads to complete its job in parallel. But
currently the main thread is not waiting for the worker
threads to complete its cleanup, rather just wait for the
worker threads to say its done doing its job. So the cleanup
is done in a race between the worker threads and the main
thread. This lead to an assertion failure.
Fix:- "my_thread_join()" is introduced in the main thread to
join all the worker threads it have spawned. This will let
the main thread to wait for all the worker threads to
complete its cleanup before calling "my_end()".
DESCRIPTION
===========
Buffer overflow is reported in a lot of code sections
spanning across server, client programs, Regex libraries
etc. If not handled appropriately, they can cause abnormal
behaviour.
ANALYSIS
========
The reported casea are the ones which are likely to result
in SEGFAULT, MEMORY LEAK etc.
FIX
===
- sprintf() has been replaced by my_snprintf() to avoid
buffer overflow.
- my_free() is done after checking if the pointer isn't
NULL already and setting it to NULL thereafter at few
places.
- Buffer is ensured to be large enough to hold the data.
- 'unsigned int' (aka 'uint') is replaced with 'size_t'
to avoid wraparound.
- Memory is freed (if not done so) after its alloced and
used.
- Inserted assert() for size check in InnoDb memcached
code (from 5.6 onwards)
- Other minor changes

mysql.cc:
Unlike the main MYSQL structure, kill_mysql did not have MYSQL_OPT_PROTOCOL set.
Move all connection-related settings to a separate function and
use it both for the main MYSQL and for kill_mysql.
cherry-pick f1daf9ce from 10.0 branch
-------------------------------------
Fix build failures caused by new C runtime library
- isnan, snprintf, struct timespec are now defined, attempt to
redefine them leads
- P_tmpdir, tzname are no more defined
- lfind() and lsearch() in lf_hash.c had to be renamed, declaration
conflicts with some C runtime functions with the same name declared in
a header included by stdlib.h
Also fix couple of annoying warnings :
- remove #define NOMINMAX from config.h to avoid "redefined" compiler
warnings(NOMINMAX is already in compile flags)
- disable incremental linker in Debug as well (feature not used much
and compiler crashes often)
Also simplify package building with Wix, require Wix 3.9 or later
(VS2015 is not compatible with old Wix 3.5/3.6)
Fix test whether process is alive in mysqltest.
Also fix SHUT_RD definition on Windows to be SD_RECEIVE.
SD_BOTH was used instead prior to this patch, and this would
occasionally make mysql_shutdown() fail - when the socket for the current connection
is not able send the COM_SHUTDOWN response anymore.
10.0 has an "analyze table .. persistent for all" syntax. This adds
--persistent to mysqlcheck(mysqlanalyize) to perform this extended
analyze table option.

mysqldump --routine fails to dump databases containing backslash ("\")
character. This happened because escaped database name was being used as an
identifier while changing current database. Such identifers are not supposed
to be escaped, they must be properly quoted instead.
This includes fixing all utilities to not have any memory leaks,
as safemalloc warnings stopped tests from passing on MacOSX.
- Ensure that all clients takes character-set-dir, as the
libmysqlclient library will use it.
- mysql-test-run now passes character-set-dir to all external clients.
- Changed dynstr_free() so that it can be called twice (made freeing code easier)
- Changed rpl_global_gtid_slave_state to be allocated dynamicly as it
includes a mutex that needs to be initizlied/destroyed before my_end() is called.
- Removed rpl_slave_state::init() and rpl_slave_stage::deinit() as
their job are better handling by constructor and delete.
- Print alias instead of table_name in check_duplicate_key as
table_name may have been converted to lower case.
Other things:
- Fixed a case in time_to_datetime_with_warn() where we where
using && instead of & in tests
