Bug#35480: BOM detection code crashes mysql CLI with zero-sized input
      
MySQL client crashed if no input was passed to it.

Bug#33812: mysql client incorrectly parsing DELIMITER
      
Remove unnecessary and incorrect code that tried
to pull delimiter commands out of the middle of
statements.

            as a commentary

mysql client has been modified to interpret EOL after
standalone -- commentary strings like whitespace
character (according to
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/ansi-diff-comments.html)

Remove unnecessary and incorrect code that tried
to pull delimiter commands out of the middle of
statements.

                        
      The crash appeared to be a result of allocating an instance of Discrete_interval 
      automatically that that was referred in out-of-declaration scope.
                        
      Fixed with correcting backing up and restoring scheme of
      auto_inc_intervals_forced, introduced by bug#33029, by means of shallow copying;
      added simulation code that forces executing those fixes of the former bug that
      targeted at master-and-slave having incompatible bug#33029-prone versions.

Another problem is that the backtrace facility wasn't being
enabled for non-Linux targets even if the target OS has the
backtrace functions. Also, the stacktrace functions inside
mysqltest were being used without proper checks for their
presence in the build.

                  replicated correctly between machines with
                  mixed endiannes

On a slow environment like valgrind the test is vulnerable
because it does not check if slave has stopped at time
of the new session is requested `start slave;' -- disabling
test till it is fixed.

ha_innodb.so was incorrectly installed in the lib/mysql
directory rather than in lib/mysql/plugin.

Amending CS for 31736.

MySQL client crashed if no input was passed to it.

The value of JOIN::tables must be set to 0 when there
is no matching min/max row.

   37167 funcs_1: Many tests fail if the embedded
                  server is used.
   37164 funcs_1: Some tests fail if an optional
                  character set is missing.
   + some cleanup within the testsuite related to the
     fixes above
   + some adjustments to open bugs on Mac OS X
2. Skip tests which suffer from bug
   37456 funcs_1: Several tests crash when used
                  with embedded server
3. Minor cleanup in some tests

The problem was that when a embedded linked version of mysqltest
crashed there was no way to obtain a stack trace if no core file
is available. Another problem is that the embedded version of
libmysql was not behaving (crash) the same as the non-embedded with
respect to sending commands to a explicitly closed connection.

The solution is to generate a mysqltest's stack trace on crash
and to enable "reconnect" if the connection handle was explicitly
closed so the behavior matches the non-embedded one.

This change was committed to the 5.1.25 release clone, but never
made it to the mysql-5.1 BK tree.  I'm committing it to mysql-5.1
bzr now.

make_binary_distribution.sh got clobbered by the 5.0 version during a merge.
This caused a few packaging problems, including message files put in the wrong
place and some missing files.  Fix is just to revert back to the 5.1 version
from before the merge.

ChangeSet 1.2606.2.1 2008/05/13 15:56:07 kent@kent-amd64.(none)

This change was made in the 5.1.25 release clone in BK, but never made it to the main mysql-5.1 BK tree.  I am adding it to mysql-5.1 bzr.

The problem was that when comparing tables for a possible
fast alter table, the comparison was being performed using
the parsed information and not the final definition.
      
The solution is to use the possible final table layout to
compare if a fast alter is possible or not.

returns erroneous results

Used the wrong function when fixing 30480 which lead to
no stop on end_key resulting in duplicate results from index scan

Includes test cases for the duplicates 37327 and 37329,
Duplicate rows and bad performance/High Handler_read_next values

   Bug#37167 funcs_1: Many tests fail if the embedded server is used.
   Bug#37164 funcs_1: Some tests fail if an optional character set is missing.

Details:
- Remove the initial loading of data from tests if these data
  are not somewhere retrieved
- Remove any use of columns with attribute unicode
  (-> UCS2 is no more needed) from tests where unicode
  properties are not checked or somehow required
- Create a separate branch of the Character maximum length test
  (CML). If UCS2 is available than this test gets applied to
  every available type of string column with attribute unicode
  This prevents any loss of coverage by the points above.
- Disable the execution of is_tables_ndb which gives wrong
  results because of a bug. Correct the exepected results of
  this test.
- In case of tests failing when applied to the embedded server
    1) Create a variant of this test for the embedded server
  or
    2) Skip the test in case of embedded server
  depending on purpose and complexity of test.
- Skip the tests which could suffer from
  Bug 28309 First insert violates unique constraint - was "memory" table empty ?
  Bug 37380 Test funcs_1.is_columns_myisam_embedded fails on OS X
  (both bugs Mac OS X, embedded server, MySQL 5.0 only)
- Minor improvements like remove typos
