concurrent SHOW CREATE
The problem was that a SHOW CREATE TABLE statement issued inside
a transaction did not release its metadata locks at the end of the
statement execution. This happened even if SHOW CREATE TABLE is an
information statement.
The consequence was that SHOW CREATE TABLE was able to block other
connections from accessing the table (e.g. using ALTER TABLE).
This patch fixes the problem by explicitly releasing any metadata
locks taken by SHOW CREATE TABLE after the statement completes.
Test case added to show_check.test.

SHOW DATABASES LIKE ... was not converting to lowercase on comparison as the

Fixed it to behave similarly to SHOW TABLES LIKE ... and updated the failing

strict aliasing violations.
Another rather noisy violation of strict aliasing rules
is the spatial code which makes use of stack-based memory
(of type Geometry_buffer) to provide placement for Geometry
objects. Although a placement new is allowed to dynamically
change the type of a object, the object returned by the
new placement was being ignored and the original stack-based
object was being casted to the new type, thus violating strict
aliasing rules.
The solution is to reorganize the code so that the object
returned by the new placement is used instead of casting the
original object. Also, to ensure that the stack-based object
is properly aligned with respect to the objects it provides
placement for, a set of compiler-dependent macros and types
are introduced so that the alignment of objects can be inquired
and specified.

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.

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.

Since the original fix for this bug lowercases the search pattern it's not a
good idea to copy the search pattern to the output instead of the real table
name found (since, depending on the case mode these two names may differ in
case).
Fixed the infrmation_schema.test failure by making sure the actual table
name of an inoformation schema table is passed instead of the lookup pattern
even when the pattern doesn't contain wildcards.

returns nothing
When looking for table or database names inside INFORMATION_SCHEMA
we must convert the table and database names to lowercase (just as it's
done in the rest of the server) when lowercase_table_names is non-zero.
This will allow us to find the same tables that we would find if there
is no condition.
Fixed by converting to lower case when extracting the database and
table name conditions.
Test case added.

strict aliasing violations.
One somewhat major source of strict-aliasing violations and
related warnings is the SQL_LIST structure. For example,
consider its member function `link_in_list` which takes
a pointer to pointer of type T (any type) as a pointer to
pointer to unsigned char. Dereferencing this pointer, which
is done to reset the next field, violates strict-aliasing
rules and might cause problems for surrounding code that
uses the next field of the object being added to the list.
The solution is to use templates to parametrize the SQL_LIST
structure in order to deference the pointers with compatible
types. As a side bonus, it becomes possible to remove quite
a few casts related to acessing data members of SQL_LIST.
