the relay log before flushing master.info.
Doing 'before' leads to duplicate event, doing after leads to missing event.
Both can be as destructive, but 'duplicate' enables us to later add detection
code to catch it. Whereas 'missing' can't be caught (it can't, because
the I/O thread can produce legal position jumps, for example if it has
ignored an event coming from this slave (rememember that starting from 4.1.1,
the I/O thread filters the server id).
It was a forgotten ltime->neg=0 (neg was the only forgotten variable).
I scanned field.cc for other places where we would forget to set neg, found none.
A test for the bug.
Now the I/O thread (in flush_master_info()) flushes the relay log to disk
after reading every event. Slower but provides additionnal safety in case
of brutal crash.
I had to make the flush optional (i.e. add a if(some_bool_argument) in the function)
because sometimes flush_master_info() is called when there is no usable
relay log (the relay log's IO_CACHE is not initialized so can't be flushed).
Added option --max-record-length=# to myisamchk
Don't try repair twice if doing myisamchk --repair --force
Shared memory handler didn't clean up things on errors or shutdown
We treat Item_param whose value is not set as non-const.
This allows us to avoid use of Item_param's value (not yet existing) in
those fix_fields and fix_length_and_dec that do calculations if their
Items arguments are const. So we can call fix_fields for such items from
mysql_prepare safely.
Fix the OS error 2 reported by Miguel and Mark in Windows crash recovery: a * had been forgotten from the path in directory scanning
ha_innodb.cc:
Set default directory in fil0fil.c right if we are running the Embedded Server Library, where the default dir of the process is not necessarily the MySQL datadir
The right way to fix this is to change the Field::store(longlong) method to be
Field::store(longlong, bool unsigned_flag), but this is better to do in 4.1 than in 4.0
(Initial caps for each word.) For example, instead of writing
Until_condition, Until_Log_File, and Until_log_pos, write
Until_Condition, Until_Log_File, and Until_Log_pos.
WL#1284 (warnings about --skip-name-resolve)
Now MySQL will issue warnings during startup about entries in
grant tables with hostnames that require resolve, and after
GRANT commands with that kind of hostnames.
