values
 
 We should re-set the access method functions when changing the access
 method when switching to another index to avoid sorting.
 
 Fixed by doing a little re-engineering : encapsulating all the function
 assignment into a special function and calling it when flipping the 
 indexes.

  
The prefix --skip- didn't work on 64 bit big endian machines
because of how the value pointer was casted.

mysys/my_getopt.c:
  * Use the interface! The value pointer must correspond to the type mask or it will break on big endian platforms.

When values of different types are compared they're converted to a type that
allows correct comparison. This conversion is done for each comparison and
takes some time. When a constant is being compared it's possible to cache the
value after conversion to speedup comparison. In some cases (large dataset,
complex WHERE condition with many type conversions) query might be executed
7% faster.

A test case isn't provided because all changes are internal and isn't visible
outside.

The behavior of the Item_cache is changed to cache values on the first request
of cached value rather than at the moment of storing item to be cached.
A flag named value_cached is added to the Item_cache class. It's set to TRUE
when cache holds the value of the last stored item.
Function named cache_value() is added to the Item_cache class and derived classes.
This function actually caches the value of the saved item.
Item_cache_xxx::store functions now only store item to be cached and set
value_cached flag to FALSE.
Item_cache_xxx::val_xxx functions are changed to call cache_value function
prior to returning cached value if value_cached is FALSE.
The Arg_comparator::set_cmp_func function now calls cache_converted_constant
to cache constants if they need a type conversion.
The Item_cache::get_cache function is overloaded to allow setting of the
cache type.
The cache_converted_constant function is added to the Arg_comparator class.
It checks whether a value can and should be cached and if so caches it.

            only const tables

The problem was caused by two shortcuts in the optimizer that
are inapplicable in the ROLLUP case.

Normally in a case when only const tables are involved in a
query, DISTINCT clause can be safely optimized away since there
may be only one row produced by the join. Similarly, we don't
need to create a temporary table to resolve DISTINCT/GROUP
BY/ORDER BY. Both of these are inapplicable when the WITH
ROLLUP modifier is present.

Fixed by disabling the said optimizations for the WITH ROLLUP
case.

  Added a test case for bug #48475.
mysql-test/t/olap.test:
  Added a test case for bug #48475.
sql/sql_select.cc:
  Disabled const-only table optimizations for the WITH ROLLUP
  case.

Just change mysql_foo to mysql_cv_foo for one cache-id variable name.  There
was only one bad variable name, present in 5.0 and 5.1, but not in the -pe
branch.

The SE API requires mysql to notify the storage engine that
it's going to read certain tables at the beginning of the 
statement (by calling start_stmt(), store_lock() or
external_lock()).
These are typically called by the lock_tables(). 
However SHOW CREATE TABLE is not pre-locking the tables
because it's not expected to access the data at all.
But for some view definitions (that include comparing a
date/datetime/timestamp column to a string returning
scalar subquery) the JOIN::prepare may still access data
when materializing the scalar non-correlated subquery
in Arg_comparator::can_compare_as_dates().
Fixed by not materializing the subquery when the function
is called in a SHOW/EXPLAIN/CREATE VIEW

configure.in:
  Activate silent-rules if automake supports it.

If --log-bin is set to a directory name with the trailing 'FN_LIBCHAR', 
which will be '/' on Unix like systems, and '\\' on Windows like systems. 
the basename of the binlog is empty so that the created files named 
'.000001' and '.index'. It is not expected. 
The same thing happened to --log-bin-index, --relay-log and 
--relay-log-index options.

To resolve the problem, in these cases the program should report an error 
and abort.


sql/mysqld.cc:
  Added a check for the value of the --log-bin and --log-bin-index arguments, 
  if it's a directory, reports an error and aborts.
sql/rpl_rli.cc:
  Added a check for the value of the --relay-log and --relay-log-index arguments, 
  if it's a directory, reports an error and aborts.

BUG#47983: rpl_extraColmaster_myisam failed in PB2 with "Found
warnings!!"

BUG 45214 fixed the case when get_master_version_and_clock
function, used by the slave, would not report errors. The slave
now detects them and if related to transient network failures, it
prints some warnings and retries to connect. On the other hand,
if not network related, it just gives up and fails.

As such, sometimes, in PB2, the slave comes across some transient
communication issues between master and slave, while calling
get_master_version_and_clock, causing warnings print outs to the
error log. Nevertheless, in such cases slave retries to connect,
in which it succeeds, and the test case continues as it normally
would. But then, at the end of a successful test run, MTR checks
the error log, finds the unexpected warnings and considers them
harmful. This causes MTR to report error and, consequently, PB2
to report a failing test.

We fix this by adding to the global warnings suppress list the
warnings related to transient network failures only, which are
reported while in function get_master_version_and_clock.

  special chars

This script failed when the user tried passwords with multiple spaces, \, # or
' characters.  Now proper escaping and quoting is used in all contexts.

This problem occurs in the Perl version of this script, too, so fix it in both
places.

Remove a bash-ism (if ! ...).

Bug#41756 "Strange error messages about locks from InnoDB".
      
In JT_EQ_REF (join_read_key()) access method, 
don't try to unlock rows in the handler, unless certain that 
a) they were locked
b) they are not used.

Unlocking of rows is done by the logic of the nested join loop,
and is unaware of the possible caching that the access method may
have. This could lead to double unlocking, when a row
was unlocked first after reading into the cache, and then 
when taken from cache, as well as to unlocking of rows which
were actually used (but taken from cache).
      
Delegate part of the unlocking logic to the access method,
and in JT_EQ_REF count how many times a record was actually 
used in the join. Unlock it only if it's usage count is 0.

            values return too many records

WHERE clauses with "outer_value_list NOT IN subselect" were
handled incorrectly if the outer value list contained multiple 
items where at least one of these could be NULL. The first 
outer record with NULL value was handled correctly, but if a 
second record with NULL value existed, the optimizer would 
choose to reuse the result it got on the last execution of the 
subselect. This is incorrect if the outer value list has 
multiple items.
     
The fix is to make Item_in_optimizer::val_int (in 
item_cmpfunc.cc) reuse the result of the latest execution
for NULL values only if all values in the outer_value_list 
are NULL.

branches/zip: This test has been problematic for sometime now. The underlying
bug is that the data dictionaries get out of sync. In the AUTOINC code we
try and apply salve to the symptoms. In the past MySQL made some unrelated
change and the dictionaries stopped getting out of sync and this test started
to fail. Now, it seems they have reverted that changed and the test is
passing again. I suspect this is not he last time that this test will change.
