On Mac OS X or Windows, sending a SIGHUP to the server or a
asynchronous flush (triggered by flush_time), would cause the
server to crash.

The problem was that a hook used to detach client API handles
wasn't prepared to handle cases where the thread does not have
a associated session.

The solution is to verify whether the thread has a associated
session before trying to detach a handle.

          'flush tables' crashes

The server crashes when 'show procedure status' and 'flush tables' are
run concurrently.

This is caused by the way mysql.proc table is added twice to the list
of table to lock although the requirements on the current locking API
assumes differently.

No test case is submitted because of the nature of the crash which is 
currently difficult to reproduce in a deterministic way.

This is a backport from 5.1

The 'BEGIN/COMMIT/ROLLBACK' log event could be filtered out if the
database is not selected by --database option of mysqlbinlog command.
This can result in problem if there are some statements in the
transaction are not filtered out.

To fix the problem, mysqlbinlog will output 'BEGIN/ROLLBACK/COMMIT' 
in regardless of the database filtering rules.

          replication
              
MySQL server uses wrong lock type (always TL_READ instead of
TL_READ_NO_INSERT when appropriate) for tables used in
subqueries of UPDATE statement. This leads in some cases to
a broken replication as statements are written in the wrong
order to the binlog.

Add --help option.

The fix for bug 46749 removed the check for OUTER_REF_TABLE_BIT 
and substituted it for a check on the presence of 
Item_ident::depended_from.
Removing it altogether was wrong : OUTER_REF_TABLE_BIT should 
still be checked in addition to depended_from (because it's not 
set in all cases and doesn't contradict to the check of depended_from).
Fixed by returning the old condition back as a compliment to the 
new one.

 - Create the "dummy" thread joinable and wait for it to
   exit before continuing in 'my_thread_global_init'
 - This way we know that the pthread library is initialized
   by one thread only

      
Initialize correctly client flags for the embedded client
Test cases in jp updated to work correctly with embedded server.

When parsing the service installation parameter in

This is the fifth patch cleaning up more GCC warnings about
variables used before initialized using the new macro
UNINIT_VAR().

The problem is that argument buffer can be used as result buffer
and it leads to argument value change.
The fix is to use 'old buffer' as result buffer only
if first argument is not constant item.

Updates the results of all the out-dated test suites and adds 
the special mysqltest command to enable innodb for the tests that need it.

Backport from 5.1.
Does also include key cache fixes from:
Bug 44068 (RESTORE can disable the MyISAM Key Cache)
Bug 40944 (Backup: crash after myisampack)

Memory allocated in TMP_TABLE_PARAM::copy_field is not cleaned up.
The fix is to clean up TMP_TABLE_PARAM::copy_field array in JOIN::destroy.

                    name as existing view

When trying to create a table with the same name as existing view with
join, mysql server crashes.

The problem is when create table is issued with the same name as view, while
verifying with the existing tables, we assume that base table object is 
created always.

In this case, since it is a view over multiple tables, we don't have the 
mysql derived table object.

Fixed the logic which checks if there is an existing table to not to assume
that table object is created when the base table is view over multiple 
tables.

Add my_sync.c to mysqltest sources list in CMakeLists.txt

myisamchk tool generates warnings when run on an myisam files (.MYI or .MYD)
This is because of the conversion of max_value for certain options in myisamchk 
from singed long to unsigned long

The max value for the options key_buffer_size, read_buffer_size, write_buffer
_size and sort_buffer_size is given as (long) ~0L which becomes -1  when casted
from signed long to longlong and then casted to ulonglong. When (ulonglong) -1 
is compared with maximal value for GET_ULONG data type, we adjust it to 
(ulonglong) ULONG_MAX and throw the warning.

Fixed by using the right max size.

Max values for the variables (from mysqld.cc)
----------------------------
1. key_buffer_size
   5.0: ULONG_MAX
   5.1: SIZE_T_MAX
   6.0: SIZE_T_MAX

2. read_buffer_size and write_buffer_size
   5.0: INT_MAX32
   5.1: INT_MAX32
   6.0: INT_MAX32

3. sort_buffer_size (aka myisam_sort_buffer_size)
   5.0: UINT_MAX32
   5.1: ULONG_MAX
   6.0: ULONG_MAX

When uncacheable queries are written to a temp table the optimizer must 
preserve the original JOIN structure, because it is re-using the JOIN 
structure to read from the resulting temporary table.
This was done only for uncacheable sub-queries. 
But top level queries can also benefit from this mechanism, specially if 
they're using index access and need a reset.
Fixed by not limiting the saving of JOIN structure to subqueries
exclusively.
Added a new test file to extend the existing (large) subquery.test.

                    CREATE TABLE...LIKE...
      
The mysql server option 'sync_frm' is ignored when table is created with 
syntax CREATE TABLE .. LIKE.. 
      
Fixed by adding the MY_SYNC flag and calling my_sync() from my_copy() when
the flag is set.

In mysql_create_table(), when the 'sync_frm' is set, MY_SYNC flag is passed 
to my_copy(). 
      
Note: TestCase is not attached and can be tested manually using debugger.

with the newer pb2 testing environments

Failing to connect would release parts of the MYSQL struct.
We would then proceed to try again to connect without re-
initializing the struct.

We prevent the unwanted freeing of data we'll still need now.

with gcc 4.3.2
      
This patch fixes a number of GCC warnings about variables used
before initialized. A new macro UNINIT_VAR() is introduced for
use in the variable declaration, and LINT_INIT() usage will be
gradually deprecated. (A workaround is used for g++, pending a
patch for a g++ bug.)
      
GCC warnings for unused results (attribute warn_unused_result)
for a number of system calls (present at least in later
Ubuntus, where the usual void cast trick doesn't work) are
also fixed.

When a connection is dropped any remaining temporary table is also automatically
dropped and the SQL statement of this operation is written to the binary log in
order to drop such tables on the slave and keep the slave in sync. Specifically,
the current code base creates the following type of statement:
DROP /*!40005 TEMPORARY */ TABLE IF EXISTS `db`.`table`;

Unfortunately, appending the database to the table name in this manner circumvents
the replicate-rewrite-db option (and any options that check the current database).
To solve the issue, we started writing the statement to the binary as follows:
use `db`; DROP /*!40005 TEMPORARY */ TABLE IF EXISTS `table`;

  field references

This error requires a combination of factors : 
1. An "impossible where" in the outermost SELECT
2. An aggregate in the outermost SELECT
3. A correlated subquery with a WHERE clause that includes an outer 
field reference as a top level WHERE sargable predicate

When JOIN::optimize detects an "impossible WHERE" it will bail out
without doing the rest of the work and initializations. It will not
call make_join_statistics() as well.  And make_join_statistics fills 
in various structures for each table referenced.
When processing the result of the "impossible WHERE" the query must
send a single row of data if there are aggregate functions in it.
In this case the server marks all the aggregates as having received 
no rows and calls the relevant Item::val_xxx() method on the SELECT
list. However if this SELECT list happens to contain a correlated 
subquery this subquery is evaluated in a normal evaluation mode.
And if this correlated subquery has a reference to a field from the 
outermost "impossible where" SELECT the add_key_fields will mistakenly
consider the outer field reference as a "local" field reference when 
looking for sargable predicates.
But since the SELECT where the outer field reference refers to is not
completely initialized due to the "impossible WHERE" in this level
we'll get a NULL pointer reference.
Fixed by making a better condition for discovering if a field is "local"
to the SELECT level being processed. 
It's not enough to look for OUTER_REF_TABLE_BIT in this case since 
for outer references to constant tables the Item_field::used_tables() 
will return 0 regardless of whether the field reference is from the 
local SELECT or not.
