(make relies GNU extentions). The patch was partially
backport from 6.0.

Original comment:
bug#30708: make relies GNU extensions.  Now that we no longer use
BitKeeper we can safely remove the SCCS handling with no loss of
functionality.

from 6.0 to trunk-bugfixing.

That was a pure test issue -- filter implementation in Perl did not work
on some platform (the bug occurred on Windows Server 2008 with
Cygwin Perl 5.10.0).

in a multiquery packet): fix NDB test failures.

removing disabled line for rpl_row_create_table  due to Bug#45576. Anyway, the test is still there because of Bug#51574

pushing to next-mr-bugfixing from working branch

multiquery packet).

Background:

  - a query can contain multiple SQL statements;

  - the server frees resources allocated to process a query when the
    whole query is handled. In other words, resources allocated to process
    one SQL statement from a multi-statement query are freed when all SQL
    statements are handled.

The problem was that the parser allocated a buffer of size of the whole
query for each SQL statement in a multi-statement query. Thus, if a query
had many SQL-statements (so, the query was long), but each SQL statement
was short, ther parser tried to allocate huge amount of memory (number of
small SQL statements * length of the whole query).

The memory was allocated for a so-called "cpp buffer", which is intended to
store pre-processed SQL statement -- SQL text without version specific
comments.

The fix is to allocate memory for the "cpp buffer" once for all SQL
statements (once for a query).

for ALTER TABLE, LOAD DATA).

ROW_COUNT is now assigned according to the following rules:

  - In my_ok():
    - for DML statements: to the number of affected rows;
    - for DDL statements: to 0.

  - In my_eof(): to -1 to indicate that there was a result set.

    We derive this semantics from the JDBC specification, where int
    java.sql.Statement.getUpdateCount() is defined to (sic) "return the
    current result as an update count; if the result is a ResultSet
    object or there are no more results, -1 is returned".

  - In my_error(): to -1 to be compatible with the MySQL C API and
    MySQL ODBC driver.

  - For SIGNAL statements: to 0 per WL#2110 specification. Zero is used
    since that's the "default" value of ROW_COUNT in the diagnostics area.

 - Update/fix file layouts for each package type, add new types for
   native package formats including deb, rpm and svr4.

 - Build all plugins, including debug versions

 - Update compiler flags to match current release

 - Add missing @VAR@ expansions

 - Install correct mysqclient library symlinks

 - Fix icc/ia64 builds

 - Fix install of libmysqld-debug

 - Don't include mysql_embedded

 - Remove unpackaged manual pages to avoid missing files warnings

 - Don't install mtr's test suite

with other merges from the old distribution-specific spec file.

 - update copyright notices

 - remove __os_install_post override, it was only necessary as a
   hack to build debuginfo packages - now that we no longer make
   them we can revert to the distribution macro which likely has
   other useful bits we might want

 - remove _unpackaged_files_terminate_build override, we want to
   know of any orphaned files

 - include native distribution support

 - no longer build separate debuginfo RPMs, instead just include
   debug/symbols in all binaries, which is more useful for support

 - include support for building commercial RPMs, requires a
   commercial source tree

 - remove cluster RPM support, we don't build them from this
   source tree

 - use CMake for building, and update package lists to match the
   new install layout/files.  Remove any options which were only
   useful for automake builds (e.g. yassl/zlib).

 - other minor cleanups

            via mysqld_safe

Plugin dir was set to a hard-coded path instead of relative the base dir.

This patch fixes this by using a path relative the basedir instead of the
plugin directory indicated by the configuration.

      
The bug happened under the following condition:
  - there was a user variable of type REAL, containing NULL value
  - there was a table with a NOT_NULL column of any type but REAL, having
    default value (or auto increment);
  - a row was inserted into the table with the user variable as value.
    A warning was emitted here.

The problem was that handling of NULL values of REAL type was not properly
implemented: it didn't expect that REAL NULL value can be assigned to other
data type.

Basically, the problem was that set_field_to_null() was used instead of
set_field_to_null_with_conversions().

The fix is to use the right function, or more generally, to allow conversion of
REAL NULL values to other data types.

  
  Problem:
  item->name was NULL for Item_user_var_as_out_param
  which made strcmp(something, item->name) crash in the LOAD XML code.
  
  Fix:
  - item_func.h: Adding set_name() in constuctor for Item_user_var_as_out_param
  - sql_load.cc: Changing the condition in write_execute_load_query_log_event() which
  distiguished between Item_user_var_as_out_param and Item_field
  from
    if (item->name == NULL)
  to
    if (item->type() == Item::FIELD_ITEM)
  - loadxml.result, loadxml.test: adding tests

Problem: after introduction of "WL#2649 Number-to-string conversions"

This query:
  SET NAMES cp850; -- Or any other non-latin1 ASCII-based character set
  SELECT * FROM t1
  WHERE datetime_column='2010-01-01 00:00:00'
started to add extra character set conversion: 
  SELECT * FROM t1
  WHERE CONVERT(datetime_column USING cp850)='2010-01-01 00:00:00';

so index on DATETIME column was not used anymore.
Fix:
  avoid convertion of NUMERIC/DATETIME items
  (i.e. those with derivation DERIVATION_NUMERIC).

There were two problems here:
  1. misleading error message
  2. abusing KILL QUERY in the test case

1. The server reported "'DELETE FROM t1' failed: 1689: Wait on a lock was
aborted due to a pending exclusive lock", while the proper error message
should be "'DELETE FROM t1' failed: 1317: Query execution was interrupted".

The problem is that the server has two different flags for
signalling that a query is being killed: THD::killed and
mysys_var::abort. The test case triggers a race: sometimes
mysys_var::abort is set earlier than THD::killed. That leads
to the following situation:

  - thr_lock() checks mysys_var::abort and returns error status,
    since mysys_var::abort is set;

  - the caller (mysql_lock_tables()) gets an error from thr_lock(),
    but THD::killed is not set, so it decides that thr_lock() couldn't
    get a lock due to a pending exclusive lock.

This is a known issue with the server and it's not going to be fixed soon.

5.5 differs from 5.1 here as follows: when thr_lock() returns an error:
  - 5.1 continues trying thr_lock() until success;
  - 5.5 propagates the error

2. The test case uses KILL QUERY is a highly concurent environment.

The fix is to wait for the dying statement to rest in peace before
executing another DELETE FROM t1.

thread_temporary_used is not initialized causing
valgrind's warnings.

Clarified error messages related to unsafe statements:
 - avoid the internal technical term "row injection"
 - use 'binary log' instead of 'binlog'
 - avoid the word 'unsafeness'

Stored routine DDL statements use statement-based replication
regardless of the current binlog format. The problem here was
that if a DDL statement failed during metadata lock acquisition
or opening of mysql.proc, the binlog format would not be reset
before returning. So the following DDL or DML statements are 
binlogged with a wrong binlog format, which causes the slave 
to stop.

The problem can be resolved by grabbing an exclusive MDL lock firstly
instead of clearing the current binlog format. So that the binlog
format will not be affected when the lock grab returns directly with
an error. The same way is taken to open a proc table for update.

           parallel mode
      
The failure has nothing to do with parallel, but rather on the
order the tests are executed. In this case, the test
binlog_tmp_table (lets call it test2) was not ensuring that the
binary logs would be reset when it started. Later the test issues
a mysqlbinlog .../master-bin.000002 | mysql ... If the test that
was executed before this one (lets call it test1) had issued a
flush logs, then the file in use in test1 (master-bin.000002)
would not actually match the one that was expected. Eventually,
this would cause the statements logged in test1 to be replayed,
instead of the ones logged in the beginning of test2.
    
We fix this by:
  1. adding RESET MASTER to the beginning of binlog_tmp_table
  2. setting dynamically the file to use in binlog_tmp_table
     
Only #1 was needed, but the two make the tests cases more robust.

      
The problem is that message resource  (message.rc) is compiled as part of static library
sql.lib rather than with executable mysqld.exe. resource files do not work in static
libraries.
      
The fix is to add message.rc to mysqld.exe source files list.
