When in embedded-serve mode, mysqltest tried to run '--send' commands in the separate thread.
That upsets some engines (InnoDB particularly) as the transaction has to be executed in the same
thread completely. So i implemented some different approach. So we create one separate thread for
each connection and execute all the queries of this connection inside it. Looks even simpler than it was
for me.

Bug#54861 Additional connections not handled properly in mtr --embedded
Now the connection has one running connection_thread() attached. And sends all the
query and read-result requests to it.
file .\dtoa.c
The assertion failure was correct because the 'width' argument
of my_gcvt() has the signed integer type, whereas the unsigned
value UINT_MAX32 was being passed by the caller
(Field_double::val_str()) leading to a negative width in
my_gcvt().
The following chain of problems was found by further analysis:
1. The display width for a floating point number is calculated
in Field_double::val_str() as either field_length or the
maximum possible length of string representation of a floating
point number, whichever is greater. Since in the bug's test
case field_length is UINT_MAX32, we get the same value as the
display width. This does not make any sense because for numeric
values field_length only matters for ZEROFILL columns,
otherwise it does not make sense to allocate that much memory
just to print a number. Field_float::val_str() has a similar
problem.
2. Even if the above wasn't the case, we would still get a
crash on a slightly different test case when trying to allocate
UINT_MAX32 bytes with String::alloc() because the latter does
not handle such large input values correctly due to alignment
overflows.
3. Even when String::alloc() is fixed to return an error when
an alignment overflow occurs, there is still a problem because
almost no callers check its return value, and
Field_double::val_str() is not an exception (same for
Field_float::val_str()).
4. Even if all of the above wasn't the case, creating a
Field_double object with UINT_MAX32 as its field_length does
not make much sense either, since the .frm code limits it to
MAX_FIELD_CHARLENGTH (255) bytes. Such a beast can only be
created by create_tmp_field_from_item() from an Item with
REAL_RESULT as its result_type() and UINT_MAX32 as its
max_length.
5. For the bug's test case, the above condition (REAL_RESULT
Item with max_length = UINT_MAX32) was a result of
Item_func_if::fix_length_and_dec() "shortcutting" aggregation
of argument types when one of the arguments was a constant
NULL. In this case, the attributes of the aggregated type were
simply copied from the other, non-NULL argument, but max_length
was still calculated as per the general, non-shortcut case, by
choosing the greatest of argument's max_length, which is
obviously not correct.
The patch addresses all of the above problems, even though
fixing the assertion failure for the particular test case would
require only a subset of the above problems to be solved.

(MAX_FIELD_CHARLENGTH) bytes in both Field_float and
Field_double.
- Don't take field_length into account when calculating the
output buffer length.
- Check the return value of String::alloc()
sql/item_cmpfunc.cc:

Added code resulted in strange linking problem for embedded on Windows
Avoided by not doing this for embedded mode
It's irrelevant for embedded server anyway, --protocol will be ignored
#ifdef THREAD removed from mysql.cc.
No reason was found for this limitation to persist.

it couldn't parse the --ssl option.
client/mysql_upgrade.c:
mysql_upgrade parses its options and passes some of them to the underlying
tools (mysqlcheck etc). To do this passdown, it reconstructs a
command-line-suitable text from the my_option object (which
contains the option's name and option's value). For options
which expect no parameter, it just had to use the option's name;
for other options, it had to concatenate the option's name,
a "=" symbol, and the option's value; it had code to handle
this latter case, but only for GET_STR options (options taking a
string as value). But since the work on WL 4738, the --ssl
option, a GET_BOOL, which used to have no parameter (NO_ARG), can
now have one (OPT_ARG), so with --ssl we came to the "default"
label, error. Fixed by constructing the command-line-suitable
representation for GET_BOOL too. For --ssl it will produce
--ssl=1 ; for --ssl=0, it will produce --ssl=0.

Although the C standard mandates that sprintf return the number
of bytes written, some very ancient systems (i.e. SunOS 4)
returned a pointer to the buffer instead. Since these systems
are not supported anymore and are hopefully long dead by now,
simply remove the portability wrapper that dealt with this
discrepancy. The autoconf check was causing trouble with GCC.
The server was not cleaning up some dbug allocated memory
before exiting. This is not a real problem, as this memory
would be deallocated anyway. Nonetheless, we improve the
mysqlbinlog exit procedure, wrt to memory book-keeping, when
no parameter is given.
To fix this, we deploy a call to my_end() before the
thread exits.
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.
The server was not cleaning up dbug allocated memory before
exiting. This is not a real problem, as this memory would be
deallocated anyway. Nonetheless, we improve the mysqlbinlog exit
procedure, wrt to memory book-keeping, when no parameter is
given.
To fix this, we deploy a call to my_thread_end() before the
thread exits, which will also free pending dbug related allocated
blocks.
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++.
