After fix of bug#25192, load_defaults() will add an args separator
to distinguish options loaded from configure files from that provided
in the command line. One problem of this is that the args separator
would be added no matter the application need it or not.

Fixed the problem by adding an option:
  bool my_getopt_use_args_separator;
to control whether the separator will be added or not. And also
added functions:
  bool my_getopt_is_args_separator(const char* arg);
to check if the argument is the separator or not.

Enabled test snippet for bug 4374, tested on Mac OS X 10.6 as well as Solaris.
Moved test snippet to a different place in the file, in order to avoid having 
to save and restore "SET NAMES" setting. New surroundings expect latin1, as is 
used in the testsnippet.

An extra copy of the commented test snippet is removed, a comment is added,
SQL keywords are converted to uppercase, and engine name "heap" is updated to 
"Memory".

Also added Copyright statement and a notice about the file's encoding(s).

When mysqldadmin is run with sleep and count options,
it goes into an infinite loop and keeps executing the
specified command.

This happened because the statement, responsible for
decrementing the count value, was missing.

Fixed by adding a statement which will decrement the
count value for each iteration.

  Bug#58221 : mysqladmin --sleep=x --count=x keeps looping
  
  Added a condition to check and decrement the count
  value stored in nr_iterations per iteration.

It is a backported patch.

Backport to 5.0.

/*![:version:] Query Code */, where [:version:] is a sequence of 5 
digits representing the mysql server version(e.g /*!50200 ... */),
is a special comment that the query in it can be executed on those 
servers whose versions are larger than the version appearing in the 
comment. It leads to a security issue when slave's version is larger 
than master's. A malicious user can improve his privileges on slaves. 
Because slave SQL thread is running with SUPER privileges, so it can
execute queries that he/she does not have privileges on master.
      
This bug is fixed with the logic below: 
- To replace '!' with ' ' in the magic comments which are not applied on
  master. So they become common comments and will not be applied on slave.
      
- Example:
  'INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1) /*!10000, (2)*/ /*!99999 ,(3)*/
   will be binlogged as
  'INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1) /*!10000, (2)*/ /* 99999 ,(3)*/

        For all the boolean system variables we now issue warnings if the
        value wasn't recognized. Before that we just silently set them
        to FALSE in this case.

        IA64 and some other arcitectures use different float rounding mode and
        i find no decent way to make it consistent.
        So the test changed to be insensitive to this.

When mysqldump tries to dump information in xml format,
the result does not contain field level comments.

In order to retrieve various informations for a field/column,
mysqldump currently uses 'show fields from <tab>' statement.
The attributes returned by the statement lacks the information
regarding field comments.

Fixed by changing the query to one that probes I_S to retrieve
required field informations, including the field comment.


client/mysqldump.c:
  Bug#13618 : mysqldump --xml omits comment on table field.
  
  Replaced the 'show fields' command by a statement that
  queries I_S, in order to retrieve information on all the
  attributes that 'show fields' returns along-with an additional
  column_comment information.

sql/mysqld.cc:
  atoi(argument) was reliable for =0|1 parameters. Now that boolean options
  must support =on/off/true/false, atoi(argument) is wrong (being always 0
  for those strings). Instead, let the internal logic of my_getopt
  (in particular get_bool_argument()) set a boolean opt_autocommit
  properly, and use that to set global_system_variables.option_bits.

The test passes on MacOSX. removing it from the experimental list.

Backported the fix to 5.1.
Problem: the auxiliary test files rpl_start_server.inc and rpl_stop_server.inc
write a file that is later read by mtr. The bug was that the file was written
with platform-dependent newline terminators, i.e., \r\n on windows, whereas mtr
only understands \n.
Fix: write the file so that it uses \n on all platforms.


mysql-test/include/rpl_start_server.inc:
  Force test to use \n instead of platform-dependent newline terminator.
mysql-test/include/rpl_stop_server.inc:
  Force test to use \n instead of platform-dependent newline terminator.

            null from mysql_store_result.

mysqlslap segfaults at a point when it tries to fetch rows from
the result set.

Under some circumstances, mysql_store_result can return 'NULL',
even after query execution (mysql_query) succeeds, and eventually
a segfault might occur if same unchecked return value is passed
to mysql_fetch_row.

Fixed by adding a check on mysql_store_result's return value.


client/mysqlslap.c:
  Bug#59109 : mysqlslap crashes on mysql_fetch_row after ignoring
              null from mysql_store_result.
  
  Added a check on mysql_store_result's return value. A 'NULL' return
  value here shows an erroneous situation as mysql_field_count has already
  reported a non-zero value.

other crashes

Some string manipulating SQL functions use a shared string object intended to
contain an immutable empty string. This object was used by the SQL function
SUBSTRING_INDEX() to return an empty string when one argument was of the wrong
datatype. If the string object was then modified by the sql function INSERT(),
undefined behavior ensued.

Fixed by instead modifying the string object representing the function's
result value whenever string manipulating SQL functions return an empty
string.

Relevant code has also been documented.

The problem from a user point of view was that on Solaris the
time related functions (e.g. NOW(), SYSDATE(), etc) would always
return a fixed time.

This bug was happening due to a logic in the time retrieving
wrapper function which would only call the time() function every
half second. This interval between calls would be calculated
using the gethrtime() and the logic relied on the fact that time
returned by it is monotonic.

Unfortunately, due to bugs in the gethrtime() implementation,
there are some cases where the time returned by it can drift
(See Solaris bug id 6600939), potentially causing the interval
calculation logic to fail.

Since newer versions of Solaris (10+) have alleviated the
performance degradation associated with time(2), the solution is
to simply directly rely on time() at each invocation.

This simplification has an upside that it allows us to eliminate
a lock which was used to control access to the variables used
to track the half second interval, thus improving the overall
scalability of timekeeping related functions (e.g. NOW()).

Benchmarks runs have shown no significant degradation associated
with this change. With this, there are actually improvements in
performance for cases involving many connections.

In summary, the changes introduced by this patch are:

a) my_time() and my_micro_time_and_time() no longer use gethrtime().
   Instead, time() and gettimeofdate() are used correspondingly.

b) my_micro_time() is changed to not use gethrtime() so as to
   have the same time source as my_micro_time_and_time().
   There shouldn't be any performance impact from this change
   since this function is used only a few times during statement
   execution and, on Solaris, gettimeofday() shows acceptable
   performance.

mysys/my_getsystime.c:
  Use time() even if gethrtime() is available. Remove logic which
  relied on gethrtime() to only call time() every half second.
  Since gethrtime() is not used anymore, also remove it from
  my_micro_time() to keep a common time source.
  
  Also, function comments are cleaned up (fixed typos and wrong
  information) and converted to doxygen.
mysys/my_thr_init.c:
  Remove mutex which is no longer used.
mysys/mysys_priv.h:
  Remove mutex which is no longer used.

Fixed incorrect checks in join_read_const_table() for when to 
accept a non-existing, or empty const-row as a part of the const'ified 
set of tables.
      
Intention of this test is to only accept NULL-rows if this table is outer joined
into the resultset. (In case of an inner-join we can conclude at this point that 
resultset will be empty, end we want to return 'error' to signal this.)
      
Initially 'maybe_null' is set to the same value as 'outer_join' in 
setup_table_map(), mysql_priv.h ~line 2424. Later simplify_joins() will
attemp to replace outer joins by inner join whenever possible. This
will cause 'outer_join' to be updated. However, 'maybe_null' is *not* updated
to reflect this rewrite as this field is used to currectly set the 'nullability'
property for the columns in the resultset.
      
We should therefore change join_read_const_table() to check the 'outer_join'
property instead of 'maybe_null', as this correctly reflect the nullability of
the *execution plan* (not *resultset*).

An incorrect 'table_map' containing both the table itself, 
and possible any outer-refs if this was the last table in 
the subquery, was presented to make_cond_for_table().
      
As a pushed condition is only able to refer column from the table
the condition is pushed to, nothing else than columns from the
table itself (tab->table->map) may be refered in the pushed condition
constructed by 'push_cond= make_cond_for_table()'. 
      
Also fix a minor 'copy and paste' bug in a comment 
inside make_cond_for_table().

No testcase is possible on mainbranch as the NDB engine is not available (yet)
on mysql >= 5.5

Item_equal::val_int() checked for NULL-values by checking Item::null_value
*before* the respective ::store_value() and ::cmp(Item*) metods where called.

As Item::null_value is set by these metods, the value of 'null_value' 
is not valid until *after* ::store_value() or ::cmp() has
been called for the Item object.
      
Fix is to swap order of ::store_value()/::cmp() and checking of Item::null_value.
This pattern is widely used other places inside item_cmpfunc.cc .
