had broken the 5.1 behaviour of --log-error: --log-error without argument sent to stderr instead of writing
to a file with an autogenerated name.
mysql-test/suite/sys_vars/t/log_error_func.test:
test that error log is created and shown in SHOW VARIABLES.
Interestingly the error log's path is apparently relative if --log-error=argument is used, but
may be absolute or relative if --log-error(no argument) is used (because then the path is derived from
that of pidfile_name, which can be absolute or relative, depending on if autogenerated or not).
mysql-test/suite/sys_vars/t/log_error_func2.test:
test that error log is created and shown in SHOW VARIABLES
mysql-test/suite/sys_vars/t/log_error_func3.test:
test that error log is empty in SHOW VARIABLES
sql/mysql_priv.h:
id for option --log-error
sql/mysqld.cc:
No --log-error means "write errors to stderr", whereas --log-error
without argument means "write errors to a file". So we cannot use the default logic
of class sys_var_charptr, which treats "option not used" the same as "option used
without argument" and uses the same default for both. We need to catch "option used",
in mysqld_get_one_option(), and then "without argument". Setting to "" makes sure
that init_server_components() will create the log, with an autogenerated name.
sql/sys_vars.cc:
need to give the option a numeric id so that we can catch it in mysqld_get_one_option()
