of autoconf and is not strictly needed for now.

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.

Introduce a MySQL maintainer/developer mode that enables
a set of warning options for the C/C++ compiler. This mode
is intended to help improve the overall quality of the code.

The warning options are:

C_WARNINGS="-Wall -Wextra -Wunused -Wwrite-strings -Werror"
CXX_WARNINGS="$C_WARNINGS -Wno-unused-parameter"

Since -Wall is essentially a moving target, autoconf checks
are not run with warning options enabled, in particualr -Werror.
This decision might be revisited in the future. The patch also
fixes a mistake in the makefiles, where automake CXXFLAGS would
be set to CFLAGS.

The problem there is that HAVING condition evaluates const
parts of condition despite the condition has references
on aggregate functions. Table t1 became const tables
after make_join_statistics and table1.pk = 1, HAVING is
transformed into MAX(1) < 7 and taken away from HAVING.
The fix is to skip evaluation of HAVING conts parts if
HAVING condition has references on aggregate functions.

The handler function for reading one row from a specific index
was not optimized in the partitioning handler since it
used the default implementation.

No test case since it is performance only, verified by hand.

Fix the memory leak

Since the original fix for this bug lowercases the search pattern it's not a 
good idea to copy the search pattern to the output instead of the real table 
name found (since, depending on the case mode these two names may differ in 
case).
Fixed the infrmation_schema.test failure by making sure the actual table 
name of an inoformation schema table is passed instead of the lookup pattern
even when the pattern doesn't contain wildcards.

           due to GCC preprocessor change

Temporary workaround: disable abi_check if GCC >= 4.5

The atomic operations implementation on 5.1 has a few problems,
which might cause tests to abort randomly. Since no code in 5.1
uses atomic operations, simply remove the code.

Fixed an incomplete historical ALTER TABLE MODIFY trimming the trigger 
privilege bit from mysql.tables_priv.Table_priv column.
Removed the duplicate ALTER TABLE MODIFY.
Test suite added.

returns nothing
      
When looking for table or database names inside INFORMATION_SCHEMA
we must convert the table and database names to lowercase (just as it's
done in the rest of the server) when lowercase_table_names is non-zero.
This will allow us to find the same tables that we would find if there
is no condition.

Fixed by converting to lower case when extracting the database and 
table name conditions.
Test case added.

Some test cases set ANSI_QUOTES in sql_mode.
So we have to use single quotes to quote literal strings.

DROP USER 
RENAME USER CURRENT_USER() ...
GRANT ... TO CURRENT_USER()
REVOKE ... FROM CURRENT_USER()
ALTER DEFINER = CURRENT_USER() EVENTbut, When these statements are binlogged, CURRENT_USER() just is binlogged
as 'CURRENT_USER()', it is not expanded to the real user name. When slave 
executes the log event, 'CURRENT_USER()' is expand to the user of slave 
SQL thread, but SQL thread's user name always NULL. This breaks the replication.

After this patch, session's user will be written into query log events 
if these statements call CURREN_USER() or 'ALTER EVENT' does not assign a definer.

class is mostly empty, initialize the base class explicitly in
the copy constructor.

If bzero is not available, resort to memset. Also, remove dead
bzero.c

Apart strict-aliasing warnings, fix the remaining warnings
generated by GCC 4.4.4 -Wall and -Wextra flags.

One major source of warnings was the in-house function my_bcmp
which (unconventionally) took pointers to unsigned characters
as the byte sequences to be compared. Since my_bcmp and bcmp
are deprecated functions whose only difference with memcmp is
the return value, every use of the function is replaced with
memcmp as the special return value wasn't actually being used
by any caller.

There were also various other warnings, mostly due to type
mismatches, missing return values, missing prototypes, dead
code (unreachable) and ignored return values.

POSIX requires that a signal handler defined with sigaction()
is not reset on delivering a signal unless SA_NODEFER or
SA_RESETHAND is set. It is therefore unnecessary to redefine
the handler on signal delivery on platforms where sigaction()
is used without those flags.

The problem is that QUICK_SELECT_DESC behaviour depends
on used_key_parts value which can be bigger than selected
best_key_parts value if an engine supports clustered key.
But used_key_parts is overwritten with best_key_parts
value that prevents from correct selection of index
access method. The fix is to preserve used_key_parts
value for further use in QUICK_SELECT_DESC.

automatic reconnect

A client with automatic reconnect enabled will see the error
message "Lost connection to MySQL server during query" if the
connection is lost between mysql_stmt_prepare() and
mysql_stmt_execute(). The mysql_stmt_errno() number, however,
is 0 -- not the corresponding value 2013.

This patch checks for the case where the prepared statement
has been pruned due to a connection loss (i.e., stmt->mysql
has been set to NULL) during a call to cli_advanced_command(),
and avoids changing the last_errno to the result of the last
reconnect attempt.

The default value of the myisam_max_extra_sort_file_size could be
higher than the maximum accepted value, leading to warnings upon
the server start.

The solution is to simply set the value to the maximum value in a
32-bit built (2147483647, one less than the current). This should
be harmless as the option is currently unused in 5.1.

The problem was that a user could supply supply data in chunks
via the COM_STMT_SEND_LONG_DATA command to prepared statement
parameter other than of type TEXT or BLOB. This posed a problem
since other parameter types aren't setup to handle long data,
which would lead to a crash when attempting to use the supplied
data.

Given that long data can be supplied at any stage of a prepared
statement, coupled with the fact that the type of a parameter
marker might change between consecutive executions, the solution
is to validate at execution time each parameter marker for which
a data stream was provided. If the parameter type is not TEXT or
BLOB (that is, if the type is not able to handle a data stream),
a error is returned.

DROP USER 
RENAME USER CURRENT_USER() ...
GRANT ... TO CURRENT_USER()
REVOKE ... FROM CURRENT_USER()
ALTER DEFINER = CURRENT_USER() EVENTbut, When these statements are binlogged, CURRENT_USER() just is binlogged
as 'CURRENT_USER()', it is not expanded to the real user name. When slave 
executes the log event, 'CURRENT_USER()' is expand to the user of slave 
SQL thread, but SQL thread's user name always NULL. This breaks the replication.

After this patch, session's user will be written into query log events 
if these statements call CURREN_USER() or 'ALTER EVENT' does not assign a definer.

This deadlock happened if DROP DATABASE was blocked due to an open
HANDLER table from a different connection. While DROP DATABASE
is blocked, it holds the LOCK_mysql_create_db mutex. This results
in a deadlock if the connection with the open HANDLER table tries
to execute a CREATE/ALTER/DROP DATABASE statement as they all
try to acquire LOCK_mysql_create_db.

This patch makes this deadlock scenario very unlikely by closing and
marking for re-open all HANDLER tables for which there are pending
conflicing locks, before LOCK_mysql_create_db is acquired.
However, there is still a very slight possibility that a connection
could access one of these HANDLER tables between closing/marking for
re-open and the acquisition of LOCK_mysql_create_db.

This patch is for 5.1 only, a separate and complete fix will be
made for 5.5+.

Test case added to schema.test.

During creation of the table list of
processed tables hidden I_S table 'VARIABLES'
is erroneously added into the table list.
it leads to ER_UNKNOWN_TABLE error in
TABLE_LIST::add_table_to_list() function.
The fix is to skip addition of hidden I_S
tables into the table list.

require O(#scans) memory

When an index merge operation was restarted, it would
re-allocate the Unique object controlling the duplicate row
ID elimination. Fixed by making the Unique object a member
of QUICK_INDEX_MERGE_SELECT and thus reusing it throughout
the lifetime of this object.
