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.

Update the test case for BUG#44331 to fix the push build failure.

            results in server crash 
 
check_group_min_max_predicates() assumed the input condition 
item to be one of COND_ITEM, SUBSELECT_ITEM, or FUNC_ITEM. 
Since a condition of the form "field" is also a valid condition 
equivalent to "field <> 0", using such a condition in a query 
where the loose index scan was chosen resulted in a debug 
assertion failure. 
 
Fixed by handling conditions of the FIELD_ITEM type in 
check_group_min_max_predicates(). 

If an EVENT is created without the DEFINER clause set explicitly or with it set  
to CURRENT_USER, the master and slaves become inconsistent. This issue stems from 
the fact that in both cases, the DEFINER is set to the CURRENT_USER of the current 
thread. On the master, the CURRENT_USER is the mysqld's user, while on the slave,  
the CURRENT_USER is empty for the SQL Thread which is responsible for executing 
the statement.

To fix the problem, we do what follows. If the definer is not set explicitly,  
a DEFINER clause is added when writing the query into binlog; if 'CURRENT_USER' is 
used as the DEFINER, it is replaced with the value of the current user before 
writing to binlog.

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`;

Slave does not correctly handle "expected errors" leading to inconsistencies
between the mater and slave. Specifically, when a statement changes both
transactional and non-transactional tables, the transactional changes are
automatically rolled back on the master but the slave ignores the error and
does not roll them back thus leading to inconsistencies.
      
To fix the problem, we automatically roll back a statement that fails on
the slave but note that the transaction is not rolled back unless a "rollback"
command is in the relay log file.

The crash happens because select_union object is used as result set
for queries which have derived tables.
select_union use temporary table as data storage and if
fields count exceeds 10(count of values for procedure ANALYSE())
then we get a crash on fill_record() function.

Updated main.mysqlbinlog_row_trans's result file as 
TRUNCATE statements are wrapped in BEGIN...COMMIT.

binlog

Mixing transactional (T) and non-transactional (N) tables on behalf of a
transaction may lead to inconsistencies among masters and slaves in STATEMENT
mode. The problem stems from the fact that although modifications done to
non-transactional tables on behalf of a transaction become immediately visible
to other connections they do not immediately get to the binary log and therefore
consistency is broken. Although there may be issues in mixing T and M tables in
STATEMENT mode, there are safe combinations that clients find useful.

In this bug, we fix the following issue. Mixing N and T tables in multi-level
(e.g. a statement that fires a trigger) or multi-table table statements (e.g.
update t1, t2...) were not handled correctly. In such cases, it was not possible
to distinguish when a T table was updated if the sequence of changes was N and T.
In a nutshell, just the flag "modified_non_trans_table" was not enough to reflect
that both a N and T tables were changed. To circumvent this issue, we check if an
engine is registered in the handler's list and changed something which means that
a T table was modified.

Check WL 2687 for a full-fledged patch that will make the use of either the MIXED or
ROW modes completely safe.

Problem was that the partition containing NULL values
was pruned away, since '2001-01-01' < '2001-02-00' but
TO_DAYS('2001-02-00') is NULL.

Added the NULL partition for RANGE/LIST partitioning on TO_DAYS()
function to be scanned too.

Also fixed a bug that added ALLOW_INVALID_DATES to sql_mode
(SELECT * FROM t WHERE date_col < '1999-99-99' on a RANGE/LIST
partitioned table would add it).

There were a problem since pruning uses the field
for comparison (while evaluate_join_record uses longlong),
resulting in pruning failures when comparing DATE to DATETIME.

Fix was to always comparing DATE vs DATETIME as DATETIME,
by adding ' 00:00:00' to the DATE string.

And adding optimization for comparing with 23:59:59, so that
DATETIME_col > '2001-02-03 23:59:59' ->
TO_DAYS(DATETIME_col) > TO_DAYS('2001-02-03 23:59:59') instead
of '>='.

The problem was that creating a DECIMAL column from a decimal
value could lead to a failed assertion as decimal values can
have a higher precision than those attached to a table. The
assert could be triggered by creating a table from a decimal
with a large (> 30) scale. Also, there was a problem in
calculating the number of digits in the integral and fractional
parts if both exceeded the maximum number of digits permitted
by the new decimal type.

The solution is to ensure that truncation procedure is executed
when deducing a DECIMAL column from a decimal value of higher
precision. If the integer part is equal to or bigger than the
maximum precision for the DECIMAL type (65), the integer part
is truncated to fit and the fractional becomes zero. Otherwise,
the fractional part is truncated to fit into the space left
after the integer part is copied.

This patch borrows code and ideas from Martin Hansson's patch.

The code was using a special global buffer for the value of IS NULL ranges.
This was not always long enough to be copied by a regular memcpy. As a 
result read buffer overflows may occur.
Fixed by setting the null byte to 1 and setting the rest of the field disk image
to NULL with a bzero (instead of relying on the buffer and memcpy()).

INSERT ... SELECT ...

Problem was that when bulk insert is used on an empty
table/partition, it disables the indexes for better
performance, but in this specific case it also tries
to read from that partition using an index, which is
not possible since it has been disabled.

Solution was to allow index reads on disabled indexes
if there are no records.

Also reverted the patch for bug#38005, since that was a workaround
in the partitioning engine instead of a fix in myisam.

(temporary) TABLE, crash

Problem: if one has an open "HANDLER t1", further "TRUNCATE t1" 
doesn't close the handler and leaves handler table hash in an 
inconsistent state, that may lead to a server crash.

Fix: TRUNCATE should implicitly close all open handlers.

Doc. request: the fact should be described in the manual accordingly.
