Davi Arnaut 71e0ff64f0 Bug#12727287: Maintainer mode compilation fails with gcc 4.6
GCC 4.6 has new -Wunused-but-set-variable flag, which is enabled
by -Wall, that causes GCC to emit a warning whenever a local variable
is assigned to, but otherwise unused (aside from its declaration).

Since the maintainer mode uses -Wall and -Werror, source code which
triggers these warnings will be rejected. That is, these warnings
become hard errors.

The solution is to fix the code which triggers these specific warnings.
In most of the cases, this is a welcome cleanup as code which triggers
this warning is probably dead anyway.

dbug/dbug.c:
  Unused but set.
libmysqld/lib_sql.cc:
  Length is not necessary as the converted error message is always
  null-terminated.
sql/item_func.cc:
  Make get_var_with_binlog private to this compilation unit.
  If a error was raised, do not attempt to evaluate the user
  variable as the statement execution will be interrupted
  anyway.
sql/mysqld.cc:
  Use a void expression to silence the warning. Avoids the use of
  macros that would make the code more unreadable than it already is.
sql/protocol.cc:
  Length is not necessary as the converted error message is always
  null-terminated. Remove unnecessary casts and assignment.
sql/sql_class.h:
  Function is only used in a single compilation unit.
sql/sql_load.cc:
  Only use the variable outside of EMBEDDED_LIBRARY.
storage/innobase/btr/btr0cur.c:
  Do not retrieve field, only the record length is being used.
storage/perfschema/pfs.cc:
  Use a void expression to silence the warning.
tests/mysql_client_test.c:
  Unused but set.
unittest/mysys/lf-t.c:
  Unused but set.

Unit tests directory structure
------------------------------

This is the current structure of the unit tests.  More directories
will be added over time.

mytap                 Source for the MyTAP library
mysys                 Tests for mysys components
  bitmap-t.c          Unit test for MY_BITMAP
  base64-t.c          Unit test for base64 encoding functions
examples              Example unit tests.
  core-t.c            Example of raising a signal in the middle of the test
		      THIS TEST WILL STOP ALL FURTHER TESTING!
  simple-t.c          Example of a standard TAP unit test
  skip-t.c            Example where some test points are skipped
  skip_all-t.c        Example of a test where the entire test is skipped
  todo-t.c            Example where test contain test points that are TODO
  no_plan-t.c         Example of a test with no plan (avoid this)


Executing unit tests
--------------------

To make and execute all unit tests in the directory:

   make test

Observe that the tests in the examples/ directory are just various
examples of tests and are not expected to pass.


Adding unit tests
-----------------

Add a file with a name of the format "foo-t.c" to the appropriate
directory and add the following to the Makefile.am in that directory
(where ... denotes stuff already there):

  noinst_PROGRAMS = ... foo-t

Note, it's important to have "-t" at the end of the filename, otherwise the
test won't be executed by 'make test' !


Documentation
-------------

The generated documentation is temporarily placed at:

      http://www.kindahl.net/mytap/doc/

I will move it to a better place once I figure out where and how.
