Bug#56657: Test still uses "--exec rm -f ..." which is non-portable
Bug#56601: Test uses Unix path for temporary file, fails, and writes misleading message
Several tests that was written in a non portable way (failed on windows)
Fixed by
1) backporting the fix for replace_result to also apply to list_files
(mysqltest from mysql-trunk)
2) replacing all #p#/#sp#/#tmp# to #P#/#SP#/#TMP#/
(innodb always converts filenames to lower case in windows).
3) replacing '--exec rm -f' with '--remove_files_wildcard'
4) replacing a perl snippet with '--write_file'
Bug #55546 mysqltest fails to create a new thread on HPUX
Missing call to pthread_join(), in embedded mode
This independently solves both problems, see 55426 for details.
Addendum: cannot test against a pthread_t, adds boolean flag instead
The problem was not caused by a change in the client,
rather by the tests using the Windows built-in "echo"
and not the one built by MySQL.
This again happened because the binary was missing in the package,
caused by the wrong macro being used to build it in "cmake".
When in embedded-serve mode, mysqltest tried to run '--send' commands in the separate thread.
That upsets some engines (InnoDB particularly) as the transaction has to be executed in the same
thread completely. So i implemented some different approach. So we create one separate thread for
each connection and execute all the queries of this connection inside it. Looks even simpler than it was
for me.

Bug#54861 Additional connections not handled properly in mtr --embedded
Now the connection has one running connection_thread() attached. And sends all the
query and read-result requests to it.

The assertion failure was correct because the 'width' argument
of my_gcvt() has the signed integer type, whereas the unsigned
value UINT_MAX32 was being passed by the caller
(Field_double::val_str()) leading to a negative width in
my_gcvt().
The following chain of problems was found by further analysis:
1. The display width for a floating point number is calculated
in Field_double::val_str() as either field_length or the
maximum possible length of string representation of a floating
point number, whichever is greater. Since in the bug's test
case field_length is UINT_MAX32, we get the same value as the
display width. This does not make any sense because for numeric
values field_length only matters for ZEROFILL columns,
otherwise it does not make sense to allocate that much memory
just to print a number. Field_float::val_str() has a similar
problem.
2. Even if the above wasn't the case, we would still get a
crash on a slightly different test case when trying to allocate
UINT_MAX32 bytes with String::alloc() because the latter does
not handle such large input values correctly due to alignment
overflows.
3. Even when String::alloc() is fixed to return an error when
an alignment overflow occurs, there is still a problem because
almost no callers check its return value, and
Field_double::val_str() is not an exception (same for
Field_float::val_str()).
4. Even if all of the above wasn't the case, creating a
Field_double object with UINT_MAX32 as its field_length does
not make much sense either, since the .frm code limits it to
MAX_FIELD_CHARLENGTH (255) bytes. Such a beast can only be
created by create_tmp_field_from_item() from an Item with
REAL_RESULT as its result_type() and UINT_MAX32 as its
max_length.
5. For the bug's test case, the above condition (REAL_RESULT
Item with max_length = UINT_MAX32) was a result of
Item_func_if::fix_length_and_dec() "shortcutting" aggregation
of argument types when one of the arguments was a constant
NULL. In this case, the attributes of the aggregated type were
simply copied from the other, non-NULL argument, but max_length
was still calculated as per the general, non-shortcut case, by
choosing the greatest of argument's max_length, which is
obviously not correct.
The patch addresses all of the above problems, even though
fixing the assertion failure for the particular test case would
require only a subset of the above problems to be solved.
Added code resulted in strange linking problem for embedded on Windows
Avoided by not doing this for embedded mode
It's irrelevant for embedded server anyway, --protocol will be ignored
#ifdef THREAD removed from mysql.cc.
No reason was found for this limitation to persist.

Fix warnings flagged by the new warning option -Wunused-but-set-variable
that was added to GCC 4.6 and that is enabled by -Wunused and -Wall. The
option causes a warning whenever a local variable is assigned to but is
later unused. It also warns about meaningless pointer dereferences.
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.
