The check for root-ness would signal an error. Errors would make the
server exit before usage (help) information was printed.
Now, test for whether we want help regardless of whether we're going
to exit with an error. If plugins are not initialized by the time we
print usage information, inform the user that some parameters are
missing.
Bounds-checks and blocksize corrections were applied to user-input,
but constants in the server were trusted implicitly. If these values
did not actually meet the requirements, the user could not set change
a variable, then set it back to the (wonky) factory default or maximum
by explicitly specifying it (SET <var>=<value> vs SET <var>=DEFAULT).
Now checks also apply to the server's presets. Wonky values and maxima
get corrected at startup. Consequently all non-offsetted values the user
sees are valid, and users can set the variable to that exact value if
they so desire.
Added global status variable 'Queries' which represents
total amount of queries executed by server including
statements executed by SPs.
note: It's old behaviour of 'Questions' variable.
The MONTHNAME/DAYNAME functions
returns binary string, so the LOWER/UPPER functions
are not effective on the result of MONTHNAME/DAYNAME call.
Character set of the MONTHNAME/DAYNAME function
result has been changed to connection character set.
The problem appears often in conjuction with temp files, when temp-pool is used, so that names of temp files are not unique.
The reason is that rapid deletiion and creation of fiiles with the same name on Windows is not guaranteed to succeed. File disappears from the file system only when the last handle to it is closed. If for example a virus scanner, a backup or indexing application opens the temp file just before MySQL deletes it, the file will enter "delete pending" state. In this state,it is not possible to open the file , or create a file with the same name (CreateFile returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENED, posix open returns EACESS)
Fix (rather a cheap workarounf) is not to use temp-pool when working with temporary files- this will make filenames unique.
With this patch , temp- pool setting will be ignored on anything but Linux(the option only made sense for Linux since its invention anyway).
The problem here is that embedded server starts handle_thread manager
thread on mysql_library_init() does not stop it on mysql_library_end().
At shutdown, my_thread_global_end() waits for thread count to become 0,
but since we did not stop the thread it will give up after 5 seconds.
Solution is to move shutdown for handle_manager thread from kill_server()
(mysqld specific) to clean_up() that is used by both embedded and mysqld.
This patch also contains some refactorings - to avoid duplicate code,
start_handle_manager() and stop_handle_manager() functions are introduced.
Unused variables are eliminated. handle_manager does not rely on global
variable abort_loop anymore to stop (abort_loop is not set for embedded).
Note: Specifically on Windows and when using DBUG version of libmysqld,
the complete solution requires removing obsolete code my_thread_init()
from my_thread_var(). This has a side effect that a DBUG statement
after my_thread_end() can cause thread counter to be incremented, and
embedded will hang for some seconds. Or worse, my_thread_init() will
crash if critical sections have been deleted by the global cleanup
routine that runs in a different thread.
This patch also fixes and revert prior changes for Bug#38293
"Libmysqld crash in mysql_library_init if language file missing".
Root cause of the crash observed in Bug#38293 was bug in my_thread_init()
described above
The SHOW VARIABLES LIKE .../SELECT @@/SELECT ... FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VARIABLES
were assuming that all the system variables are in system charset (UTF-8).
However the variables that are settable through command line will have a different
character set (character_set_filesystem).
Fixed the server to remember the correct character set of basedir, datadir, tmpdir,
ssl, plugin_dir, slave_load_tmpdir, innodb variables; init_connect and init_slave
variables and use it when processing data.
That's a Win-specific error.
When we create libmysqld.dll we have many libraries like mysys, dbug,
strings, etc linked into that dll, so the application built upon
this library shouldn't link these libraries to itself, rather use
those inside the dll.
Fixed by redirecting calls into the libmysqld.dll

status
The problem appears to be a race condition, when service is being
stopped right after startup. We set the service status to SERVICE_RUNNING
way too early it cannot yet handle stop requests - initialization has
not finished and hEventShutdown that signals server to stop is not yet
created. If somebody issues "net stop MySQL" at this time, MySQL is not
informed about the stop and continues to run as usual, while
NTService::ServiceMain() stucks forever waiting for mysql's "main" thread
to finish.
Solution is to remain in SERVICE_START_PENDING status until after server
initialization is fully complete and only then change the status to
SERVICE_RUNNING. In SERVICE_START_PENDING we do not accept service control
requests, i.e it is not possible to stop service in that time.
When running Stored Routines the Status Variable "Questions" was wrongly
incremented. According to the manual it should contain the "number of
statements that clients have sent to the server"
Introduced a new status variable 'questions' to replace the query_id
variable which currently corresponds badly with the number of statements
sent by the client.
The new behavior is ment to be backward compatible with 4.0 and at the
same time work with new features in a similar way.
This is a backport from 6.0
warnings)
Before this fix, several places in the code would raise a warning with an
error code 0, making it impossible for a stored procedure, a connector,
or a client application to trigger logic to handle the warning.
Also, the warning text was hard coded, and therefore not translated.
With this fix, new errors numbers have been created to represent these
warnings, and the warning text is coded in the errmsg.txt file.

Bug#37536: Thread scheduling causes performance degradation at low thread count
Deprecated --skip-thread-priority startup option as newer versions of
the server won't change the thread priorities by default.
Giving threads different priorities might yield marginal improvements
in some platforms (where it actually works) but on the other hand it
might cause significant degradation depending on the thread count and
number of processors. Meddling with the thread priorities is a not a
safe bet as it is very dependent on the behavior of the cpu scheduler
and system where MySQL is being run.
From MySQL 6.0 and up the default behavior is that of not modifying
the threads priorities.
The problem is that when statement-based replication was enabled,
statements such as INSERT INTO .. SELECT FROM .. and CREATE TABLE
.. SELECT FROM need to grab a read lock on the source table that
does not permit concurrent inserts, which would in turn be denied
if the source table is a log table because log tables can't be
locked exclusively.
The solution is to not take such a lock when the source table is
a log table as it is unsafe to replicate log tables under statement
based replication. Furthermore, the read lock that does not permits
concurrent inserts is now only taken if statement-based replication
is enabled and if the source table is not a log table.

Another problem is that the backtrace facility wasn't being
enabled for non-Linux targets even if the target OS has the
backtrace functions. Also, the stacktrace functions inside
mysqltest were being used without proper checks for their
presence in the build.
The problem was that when a embedded linked version of mysqltest
crashed there was no way to obtain a stack trace if no core file
is available. Another problem is that the embedded version of
libmysql was not behaving (crash) the same as the non-embedded with
respect to sending commands to a explicitly closed connection.
The solution is to generate a mysqltest's stack trace on crash
and to enable "reconnect" if the connection handle was explicitly
closed so the behavior matches the non-embedded one.
