strict aliasing violations.

Another rather noisy violation of strict aliasing rules
is the spatial code which makes use of stack-based memory
(of type Geometry_buffer) to provide placement for Geometry
objects. Although a placement new is allowed to dynamically
change the type of a object, the object returned by the
new placement was being ignored and the original stack-based
object was being casted to the new type, thus violating strict
aliasing rules.

The solution is to reorganize the code so that the object
returned by the new placement is used instead of casting the
original object. Also, to ensure that the stack-based object
is properly aligned with respect to the objects it provides
placement for, a set of compiler-dependent macros and types
are introduced so that the alignment of objects can be inquired
and specified.

Backport fixes from ndb: Rework the constructors of some static
object's to not call dbug functions since the constructors will
be called before main, and consequently, before the dbug library
is initialized.

and reverse() function
      
3 problems fixed : 
1. The reported problem : caused by incorrect parsing of 
the file as ucs data resulting in wrong length of the parsed
string. Fixed by truncating the invalid trailing bytes 
(non-complete multibyte characters) when reading from the file
2. LOAD DATA when reading from a proper UCS2 file wasn't 
recognizing the new line characters. Fixed by first looking 
if a byte is a new line (or any other special) character before
reading it as a part of a multibyte character.
3. When using user variables to hold the column data in LOAD
DATA the character set of the user variable was set incorrectly
to the database charset. Fixed by setting it to the charset
specified by LOAD DATA (if any). 

bytes_received/bytes_sent are ulonglong so they cannot be handled by the 
ulong handling code in add_to_status/add_diff_to_status().

Fixed by adding code to handle these two variables in 
add_to_status()/add_diff_to_status() and making sure they are not a subject
to the ulong handling code.

The removal of non-local root users is overzealous in
mysql_secure_installation. (Bug #54004)

      
Added some code to try to find the mysql command line in the most 
common places and stop if it's not there.

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.

In bug-28430 HA_PRIMARY_KEY_REQUIRED_FOR_POSITION
was disabled in the partitioning engine in the first patch,
That bug was later fixed a second time, but that flag
was not removed.

No need to disable this flag, as it leads to bad
choise in row replication.

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.
