the list. Previously, the counter would only be incremented if the
insertion method push_front() was used, in which case the counter
wouldn't be incremented if a element was inserted using the push_back()
and/or insert_after() methods.

Currently this does not affect the code base because there isn't any
code that uses a counted list with the push_back() or insert_after()
methods.

Attempt to re-execute prepared ALTER TABLE statement which 
involves .FRM-only changes and also have RENAME clause led
to unwarranted 'Table doesn't exist' error in production
builds and assertion failure for debug builds.
 
This problem stemmed from the fact that for such ALTER TABLE
mysql_alter_table() code changed table list element for table 
to be altered when it tried to re-open table under new name. 
Since this change was not reverted back before next 
re-execution, it made this statement re-execution unsafe.
 
This fix addresses this problem by avoiding changing table list
element from the main table list in such a situation. Instead 
temporary TABLE_LIST object is used.

               TRX->CONC_STATE == 0 || TRX->CONC_STATE == 1

This bug was a different manifestation of Bug#11766752,
which was previously only fixed on mysql-trunk.

This patch backports the fix for Bug#11766752 to mysql-5.5,
which fixes the problem. The patch also adds some extra test
coverage.

When we create temporary result table for UNION
incorrect max_length for YEAR field is used and
it leads to incorrect field value and incorrect
result string length as YEAR field value calculation
depends on field length.
The fix is to use underlying item max_length for
Item_sum_hybrid::max_length intialization.

Valgrind warning happens due to early null values check
in Item_func_in::fix_length_and_dec(before item evaluation).
As result null value items with uninitialized values are
placed into array and it leads to valgrind warnings during
value array sorting.
The fix is to check null value after item evaluation, item
is evaluated in in_array::set() method.

to a bug that has been fixed. made these tests non-experimental.

for code other then in mdl.h. Since the adapter is generic, it is
better located in sql_plist.h.

Problem: comparison of a DATETIME sp variable and NOW()
led to Illegal mix of collations error when 
character_set_connection=utf8.
Introduced by "WL#2649 Number-to-string conversions".

Error happened in Arg_comparator::set_compare_func(),
because the first argument was errouneously converted to utf8,
while the second argument was not.

Fix: separate agg_arg_charsets_for_comparison() into two functions:

- agg_arg_charsets_for_comparison() - for pure comparison,
  when we don't need to return any string result and therefore
  don't need to convert arguments to @@character_set_connection:
    SELECT a = b;

- agg_arg_charsets_for_string_results_with_comparison() - when
  we need to return a string result, but we also need to do
  comparison internally: SELECT REPLACE(a,b,c)
  If all arguments are numbers:
    SELECT REPLACE(123,2,3) -> 133
  we convert arguments to @@character_set_connection.

IF NO DNS-SERVER AVAILABLE.

The thing is that on Windows XP getnameinfo() returns WSANO_DATA
when hostname-lookup is not available. The problem was that
this error code was treated as serious error and the client
connection got rejected.

The fix is to treat all errors from getnameinfo() as not ciritical,
but add IP-address to the host cache only for EAI_NONAME (or WSANO_DATA).

Select from a view with the underlying HAVING clause failed with a
message: "1356: View '...' references invalid table(s) or column(s)
or function(s) or definer/invoker of view lack rights to use them"

The bug is a regression of the fix for bug 11750328 - 40825 (similar
case, but the HAVING cause references an aliased field).
In the old fix for bug 40825 the Item_field::name_length value has
been used in place of the real length of Item_field::name. However,
in some cases Item_field::name_length is not in sync with the
actual name length (TODO: combine name and name_length into a
solid String field).

The Item_ref::print() method has been modified to calculate actual
name length every time.

               create_schema if auto-generate-sql also set.

mysqlslap uses a schema to run its tests on and later
drops it if auto-generate-sql is used. This can be a
problem, if the schema is an already existing one.

If create-schema is used with auto-generate-sql option,
mysqlslap while performing the cleanup, drops the specified
database.

Fixed by introducing an option --no-drop, which, if used,
will prevent the dropping of schema at the end of the test.

               PRIMARY KEY NO 0 FOR TABLE IN ERROR LOG 

Post merge fix, update the .result file.

Forgot that the main thread would be idle while waiting for tests
Added sub mark_time_idle() so ignore time spent waiting
Also added a new time category 'admin' to take some of 'init'

Added necessary options and variables
Added dbx_arguments() similar to gdb_arguments()
Unlike gdb, cannot use init file but must provide commands and args as
  command line argument to dbx
Also simplified debugger behavior to always start with a breakpoint in main()
