On Windows systems, occurrences of ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION due to
conflicting share modes between processes accessing the same file can
result in CreateFile failures.
mysys' my_open() already incorporates a workaround by implementing
wait/retry logic on Windows.
But this does not help if files are opened using shell redirection like
mysqltest traditionally did it, i.e via
--echo exec "some text" > output_file
In such cases, it is cmd.exe, that opens the output_file, and it
won't do any sharing-violation retries.
This commit addresses the issue by introducing a new built-in command,
'write_line', in mysqltest. This new command serves as a brief alternative
to 'write_file', with a single line output, that also resolves variables
like "exec" would.
Internally, this command will use my_open(), and therefore retry-on-error
logic.
Hopefully this will eliminate the very sporadic "can't open file because
it is used by another process" error on CI.
Problem:
========
Auto purge of relaylogs stops when relay-log-file is
'slave-relay-log.999999' and slave_parallel_threads is enabled.
Analysis:
=========
The problem is that in Relay_log_info::inc_group_relay_log_pos() function,
when two log names are compared via strcmp() function, it gives correct
result, when log name sequence numbers are of same digits(6 digits), But
when the number goes to 7 digits, a 999999 compares greater than
1000000, which is wrong, hence the bug.
Fix:
====
Extract the numeric extension part of the file name, convert it into
unsigned long and compare.
