      • Fixed test suite failure for PBXT
    • Revision #2643.96.42

• Revision #2890 [merge]
  • automatic merge with 5.1
    • Revision #2643.96.35 [merge]
      • Automatic merge with 5.1
    • Revision #2643.96.34
      • Fixed failures in buildbot
    • Revision #2643.96.33
      • MySQL Bug #54201: "SET INSERT_ID" event must be ignored if corresponding event is ignored
      • An INSERT query log event is preceeded by an INSERT_ID intvar event if the INSERT allocates a new auto_increment value. But if we ignore the INSERT due to --replicate-ignore-table or similar, then the INSERT_ID event is still executed, and the set value of INSERT_ID lingers around in the slave sql thread THD object indefinitely until the next INSERT that happens to need allocation of a new auto_increment value.
      • Normally this does not cause problems as such following INSERT would normally come with its own INSERT_ID event. In this bug, the user had a trigger on the slave which was missing on the master, and this trigger had an INSERT which could be affected. In any case, it seems better to not leave a stray INSERT_ID hanging around in the sql thread THD indefinitely.
      • Note that events can also be skipped from apply_event_and_update_pos(); however it is not possible in that code to skip the INSERT without also skipping the INSERT_ID event.

            • Made dummy rule in sql_yacc.yy to get rid of compiler warning about not used label.
          • Don't use maintainer mode with valgrind (as we don't want to initialize all variables)
        • Revision #2643.96.30
          • Fixed compiler warnings and a compilation failure on windows
        • Revision #2643.96.29
          • Patch from Sergey Petrunya:
          • Fix post-merge failure in 5.1-merge
            • Let QUICK_RANGE_INTERSECT_SELECT not make assumption that HA_EXTRA_KEYREAD scans do not touch parts of table->record[0] that refer to fields that are not covered by the used index.
            • This assumption is not true for XtraDB (e.g. grep row/row0sel.c for "init null bytes with default values as they might be").

    • Revision #2643.105.36
      • Fix of the debugging print.
    • Revision #2643.105.35
      • MWL#74: Shared libmysqld.so library.
      • Switch makefiles to use libtool to build libmysqld.so, as well as all its dependencies.
      • The previous MYSQL_PLUGIN_DEPENDS_ON_MYSQL_INTERNALS() declaration is removed, as it does not work well with a libtool build. Instead, plugins that need it can specify an alternate object in MYSQL_PLUGIN_STATIC() that will be used for embedded library. The plugin must then take care itself of compiling the special object for embedded, rebuilding the source files previously listed in MYSQL_PLUGIN_DEPENDS_ON_MYSQL_INTERNALS() with @plugin_embedded_defs@ in CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS. The extra target @XXX_embedded_static_target@ is available for the special object, this will be empty when --without-embedded-server.
      • All in-tree plugins are changed to build their static targets with libtool. Additional plugins that want to work with libmysqld.so will need to be similarly modified to build with libtool (or otherwise provide an -fPIC object). Dynamically loaded plugins are not affected.
      • The old libraries like libmysys.a, libmyisam.a and similar libraries, which were installed by `make install` though this is of little use, are still built and installed to not break package scripts etc. that expect them. These libraries are kept static to avoid introducing new .so dependencies.
      • The patch also fixes a handfull of duplicate symbol linker errors, where we included some object twice during linking; these for one reason or another did not produce errors before but caused problems on some platforms with this patch (eg. Mac OS X linker is more strict for shared objects).
      • This patch only does what is necessary to build libmysqld.so. There are some more cleanups that are possible now that we are using libtool more fully, which could done in subsequent patches (though we may not bother as we are switching from autotools to CMake anyway):
        • In libmysql_r/, we should be able to just link libmysys.la etc, instead of symlinking and re-compiling sources into the directory.
        • In libmysql/, we can similarly avoid symlinking and recompiling sources if we instead build a libmysys_nothread.la library with appropriate CFLAGS and link that.
        • In sql/, we can build a separate target libmysql_int.la with appropriate CFLAGS for embedded and use that in libmysqld/ instead of symlinking sources.
        • libmysys.a, libmyisam.a and similar libraries could be installed as .so also to save on code size; or alternatively could be not installed at all.
    • Revision #2643.105.34
      • Bug #643463: Slow XtraDB shutdown: Fix more sleeps delaying shutdown.
      • This patch removes most remaining delays due to uninteruptible sleep() during shutdown, as found using PMP. This makes standard test run very close in speed to with --loose-innodb-fast-shutdown=2, and greatly speeds up running the test suite.
    • Revision #2643.105.33 Fix flags for non-debug builds
    • Revision #2643.105.32 Fixed mess in the types.
    • Revision #2643.105.31
      • Fixed bug discovered by testcase for Bug #618558 (original bug seams to be fixed):
        • Fixed bug in pagecache_delete_internal() when deleting block that was flushed by another thread (fixed bug when block->next_used was unexpectedly null)
      • Fixed some using uninitialized memory warnings found by valgrind.
    • Revision #2643.105.30
      • Added option BACKUP_ALL to mysqld --myisam-recover to also get a backup of the index file before it's repaired.
      • Removed wrong call to translog_buffer_unlock() that caused 'unlocking not locked mutex' failure in Aria log handler.
• Revision #2884
  • fix for Bug #673634:
  • better MYSQL_PLUGIN_WITHOUT that works correctly in all of the following:
    • --with-plugin-XXX
    • --without-plugin-XXX
    • --with-plugins=XXX
    • --with-plugins=META
    • --with-plugins=XXX --without-plugin-XXX
    • --with-plugins=META --without-plugin-XXX
