The syntax error produced on running the test engines/iuds.insert_time
in PS-mode was caused by presence of the C-Style comment containing
the single quote at the end of SQL statement, something like
the following one:
/* doesn't throw error */;
Presence of the single quote was interpreted by mysqltest utility as
indication of real string literal, that resulted in consuming every
characters following that mark as a literal, including the delimiter
character ';'. It led to concatenation of lines into a single
multi-statement that was sent from mysqltest to MariaDB server for
processing. In case mysqltest is run in regular mode (that is,
not PS-mode), multi-statement is handled successfully on server side,
but in case PS-mode is on, multi-statement is supplied in COM_STMT_PREPARE
that caused the parsing error since multi-statements is not supported by
statement prepare command.
To fix the issue, in case mysqltest encounters the C-Style comment
is should switch to reading next following characters without any
processing until it hit the closing C-style comment marks '*/',
with one exception if the sequence of characters '/*' followed by
the exclamation mark, that means the hint introducer has been read.
