Essentially, the problem is that safemalloc is excruciatingly
slow as it checks all allocated blocks for overrun at each
memory management primitive, yielding a almost exponential
slowdown for the memory management functions (malloc, realloc,
free). The overrun check basically consists of verifying some
bytes of a block for certain magic keys, which catches some
simple forms of overrun. Another minor problem is violation
of aliasing rules and that its own internal list of blocks
is prone to corruption.
Another issue with safemalloc is rather the maintenance cost
as the tool has a significant impact on the server code.
Given the magnitude of memory debuggers available nowadays,
especially those that are provided with the platform malloc
implementation, maintenance of a in-house and largely obsolete
memory debugger becomes a burden that is not worth the effort
due to its slowness and lack of support for detecting more
common forms of heap corruption.
Since there are third-party tools that can provide the same
functionality at a lower or comparable performance cost, the
solution is to simply remove safemalloc. Third-party tools
can provide the same functionality at a lower or comparable
performance cost.
The removal of safemalloc also allows a simplification of the
malloc wrappers, removing quite a bit of kludge: redefinition
of my_malloc, my_free and the removal of the unused second
argument of my_free. Since free() always check whether the
supplied pointer is null, redudant checks are also removed.
Also, this patch adds unit testing for my_malloc and moves
my_realloc implementation into the same file as the other
memory allocation primitives.
client/mysqldump.c:
Pass my_free directly as its signature is compatible with the
callback type -- which wasn't the case for free_table_ent.

Apart strict-aliasing warnings, fix the remaining warnings
generated by GCC 4.4.4 -Wall and -Wextra flags.
One major source of warnings was the in-house function my_bcmp
which (unconventionally) took pointers to unsigned characters
as the byte sequences to be compared. Since my_bcmp and bcmp
are deprecated functions whose only difference with memcmp is
the return value, every use of the function is replaced with
memcmp as the special return value wasn't actually being used
by any caller.
There were also various other warnings, mostly due to type
mismatches, missing return values, missing prototypes, dead
code (unreachable) and ignored return values.
BUILD/SETUP.sh:
Remove flags that are implied by -Wall and -Wextra.
Do not warn about unused parameters in C++.
BUILD/check-cpu:
Print only the compiler version instead of verbose banner.
Although the option is gcc specific, the check was only
being used for GCC specific checks anyway.

position if fgets succeed -- if it fails, the function will
bail out and return a error.
extra/yassl/taocrypt/include/blowfish.hpp:
Use a single array instead of accessing positions of the sbox_
through a subscript to pbox_.
extra/yassl/taocrypt/include/runtime.hpp:

extra/yassl/taocrypt/src/blowfish.cpp:
Avoid potentially ambiguous conditions.
extra/yassl/taocrypt/src/integer.cpp:
Do not define type within a anonymous union.
Use a variable to return a value instead of
leaving the result in a register -- compiler
does not know the logic inside the asm.
extra/yassl/taocrypt/src/misc.cpp:
Define handler for pure virtual functions.
Remove unused code.
extra/yassl/taocrypt/src/twofish.cpp:
Avoid potentially ambiguous conditions.
extra/yassl/testsuite/test.hpp:
Function must have C language linkage.

sql/unireg.h:
Replace use of bmove_align with memcpy.
storage/innobase/os/os0file.c:

strict aliasing violations.
Essentially, the problem is that large parts of the server were
developed in simpler times (last decades, pre C99 standard) when
strict aliasing and compilers supporting such optimizations were
rare to non-existent. Thus, when compiling the server with a modern
compiler that uses strict aliasing rules to perform optimizations,
there are several places in the code that might trigger undefined
behavior.
As evinced by some recent bugs, GCC does a somewhat good of job
misoptimizing such code, but on the other hand also gives warnings
about suspicious code. One problem is that the warnings aren't
always accurate, yet we can't afford to just shut them off as we
might miss real cases. False-positive cases are aggravated mostly
by casts that are likely to trigger undefined behavior.
The solution is to start a cleanup process focused on fixing and
reducing the amount of strict-aliasing related warnings produced
by GCC and others compilers. A good deal of noise reduction can
be achieved by just removing useless casts that are product of
historical cruft and are likely to trigger undefined behavior if
dereferenced.

The variable buf pointer to pointer to pointer to constant char
could improperly alias a incompatible type in call to fix_type_
pointers. Since this was actually dead code, it is simply removed.
sql/unireg.cc:
Remove call to get_form_pos. The code creates a new FRM file which

This is a re-commit of Monty's merge to eliminate an extra commit from
MySQL-5.1.42 that was accidentally included in the merge.
This is a merge of the MySQL 5.1.41 clone-off (clone-5.1.41-build). In
case there are any extra changes done before final MySQL 5.1.41
release, these will need to be merged later before MariaDB 5.1.41
release.

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.
Options loaded from config files were added before command line
arguments, and they were parsed together, which could interprete
the following:
option-a
option-b
as --option-a=--option-b if 'option-a' requires a value, and
caused confusing.
Because all options that requires a value are always given in
the form '--option=value', so it's an error if there is no
'=value' part for such an option read from config file.
This patch added a separator to separate the arguments from
config files and that from command line, so that they can be
handled differently. And report an error for options loaded
from config files that requires a value and is not given in the
form '--option=value'.

Due to a bugfix for enum options in MariaDB, my_getopt parses enums into an ulong.
However, some new code from MySQL was written to assume enums take an uint.
Fix by using the correct type.
(The new MySQL code in addition had an implicit assumption that my_bool and uint were
compatible; remove this assumption).
* Finished Monty and Jani's merge
* Some InnoDB tests still fail (because it's old xtradb code run against
newer testsuite). They are expected to go after mergning with the latest
xtradb.
Fix parsing of invalid plugin enum option value.
Previous patch to fix plugin enum option parsing on big-endian introduced another bug due

Ubuntus, where the usual void cast trick doesn't work) are
also fixed.

use in the variable declaration, and LINT_INIT() usage will be
gradually deprecated. (A workaround is used for g++, pending a
patch for a g++ bug.)
GCC warnings for unused results (attribute warn_unused_result)
for a number of system calls (present at least in later
Ubuntus, where the usual void cast trick doesn't work) are
also fixed.
Because of a regression introduced by bug#19027 the option --enable-foobar
doesn't work anymore for any plugin 'foobar'. The reason is that plugin
names are tristate options variables with optional parameters and integer
values are not accepted. Since the 'enable' prefix attempts to assign '1'
to the option the operation fails.
This patch translates any number n assigned to a plugin variable of type ENUM
to be the corresponding enumerated item. As a side effect --enable-foobar and
--disable-foobar will also start working again.
mysys/my_getopt.c:
* setval now accepts integer values for option variables of type ENUM.
