to crash) from mysql-6.0-codebase.

The thing is that on some platforms (e.g. Mac OS X) sockaddr_in / sockaddr_in6
contain a non-standard field (sin_len / sin6_len), that must be set.

The problem was that only standard fields were set, thus getnameinfo() returned
EAI_SYSTEM instead of EAI_NONAME.

The fix is to introduce configure-time checks (for GNU auto-tools and CMake) for
those additional fields and to set them if they are available.

FOR UPDATE is causing a lock".
 
This patch tries to address problems which were exposed 
during backporting of original patch to 5.1 tree.
 
- It ensures that we don't change locking behavior of simple
  SELECT statements on InnoDB tables when they are executed
  under LOCK TABLES ... READ and with @@innodb_table_locks=0.
  Also we no longer pass TL_READ_DEFAULT/TL_WRITE_DEFAULT 
  lock types, which are supposed to be parser-only, to 
  handler::start_stmt() method.
- It makes check_/no_concurrent_insert.inc auxiliary scripts 
  more robust against changes in test cases that use them
  and also ensures that they don't unnecessarily change 
  environment of caller.

(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.

The problem was that OPTMIZE TABLE was allowed to run on a table
in use by a transaction in a different connection. This caused
repeatable read to break.

This bug was fixed by the introduction of metadata locking, WL#4284.
OPTIMIZE TABLE will now be blocked until the transaction using the
table, has ended.

This patch contains a regression test added to innodb_mysql_lock.test
and no code changes.

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).

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).

 Bug#53196 : CMake builds don't support 'make tags' and 
'make ctags' targets.  
   - Added tags and ctags targets

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).

This patch fixes this by using a path relative the basedir instead of the

Temporary and permanent tables should live in different 
namespaces.  In this case, resolving a permanent table
name gave the temporary table, resulting in a name
collision.

      
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)

If a temporary table A exists, and a (permanent) table 
with the same name is attempted created with 
"CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT", the create would fail with 
an error.
   1050: Table 'A' already exists

The error occured in MySQL 5.1 releases, but is not
present in MySQL 5.5.   This patch adds a regression
test to ensure that the problem does not reoccur.

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).
