Bug #20748: Configuration files should not be read more than once
A user could not override system-wide settings in their ~/.my.cnf, because the DEFAULT_SYSCONFDIR was being searched last. Also, in some configurations (especially when the --sysconfdir compile-time option is set to /etc or /etc/mysql), the system-wide my.cnf file was read multiple times, causing confusion and potential problems. Rearrange default directories to conform to the manual and logic. Move --sysconfdir=<path> (DEFAULT_SYSCONFDIR) from the last default directory to the middle of the list. $HOME/.my.cnf should be last, so the user is able to override the system-wide settings. Change init_default_directories() to remove duplicates from the list. include/my_sys.h: Add array_append_string_unique(), from mf_arr_appstr.c libmysql/Makefile.shared: Add new mf_arr_appstr.lo object mysys/CMakeLists.txt: Add new mf_arr_appstr.c source. mysys/Makefile.am: Add new mf_arr_appstr.c source. mysys/default.c: Change order in which defaults files are added to default_directories, in order to conform to the manual (and to common sense). This fixes a particularly bad problem on Unix, where ~/.my.cnf was read before /usr/local/etc/my.cnf. Also, don't add duplicate entries; move the existing entry to the end of the list instead. Here is a comparison of the order of defaults files, BEFORE and AFTER this patch. On Windows: BEFORE: C:\, GetWindowsDirectory(), GetSystemWindowsDirectory(), $MYSQL_HOME, defaults-extra-file, INSTALLDIR AFTER: GetSystemWindowsDirectory(), GetWindowsDirectory(), C:\, INSTALLDIR, $MYSQL_HOME, defaults-extra-file GetSystemWindowsDirectory() is moved before GetWindowsDirectory() because the former is shared by all Terminal Services users, while the latter is private for each user. On Netware (no change): BEFORE: sys:/etc/, $MYSQL_HOME, defaults-extra-file AFTER: sys:/etc, $MYSQL_HOME, defaults-extra-file On OS/2: BEFORE: $ETC, /etc, $MYSQL_HOME, defaults-extra-file AFTER: /etc, $ETC, $MYSQL_HOME, defaults-extra-file On everything else (general Unix): BEFORE: /etc, $MYSQL_HOME, defaults-extra-file, ~/, --sysconfdir AFTER: /etc/, --sysconfdir, $MYSQL_HOME, defaults-extra-file, ~/ The BEFORE code added --sysconfdir on all systems, but only the Unix build system actually defined a value for it. mysys/mf_arr_appstr.c: BitKeeper file /home/tsmith/m/bk/build/50-b20748/mysys/mf_arr_appstr.c
