BREAKS SOURCE RELEASE BUILD
Some of the required files were not getting copied while
performing 'make dist' and hence the build failed for
the created distribution source.
Added the missing files to Makefile.am.
WITH LIBEDIT
Libedit won't build on platforms that do not provide
"sys/cdefs.h".
Removed the inclusion of cdefs.h from all files
other that sys.h, which includes this file only
when the header is found while configuring.
.editrc on linux.
MySQL client when build with libedit support ignores
.editrc at startup.
The reason for this regression was the incluison of a
safety check, issetugid(), which is not available on
some linux platforms.
Fixed by adding an equivalent check for platforms which
have get[e][u|g]id() set of functions.
The autotools-based build system has been superseded and
is being removed in order to ease the maintenance burden on
developers tweaking and maintaining the build system.
In order to support tools that need to extract the server
version, a new file that (only) contains the server version,
called VERSION, is introduced. The file contents are human
and machine-readable. The format is:
MYSQL_VERSION_MAJOR=5
MYSQL_VERSION_MINOR=5
MYSQL_VERSION_PATCH=8
MYSQL_VERSION_EXTRA=-rc
The CMake based version extraction in cmake/mysql_version.cmake
is changed to extract the version from this file. The configure
to CMake wrapper is retained for backwards compatibility and to
support the BUILD/ scripts. Also, a new a makefile target
show-dist-name that prints the server version is introduced.
- Header <sys/ttydefaults.h> missing or not usable on QNX and OpenServer 6
include/my_global.h
- Moved down definition of function rint(), as for some platforms (in
this case Netware) 'longlong' is not defined until later in
"my_global.h"
Problem: libedit is a very pure-ASCII oriented library,
and it is not aware of extended (0x80..0xFF) or even multi-byte
characters. It considered such characters as non-printable
and didn't allow to input them.
Fix: make libedit think that all bytes >= 0x80 are printable.
to "my_config.h". Not to pollute the top directory, and to get more control
over what is included. Made the include path for "libedit" pick up its own
"config.h" first.
Its root cause is a difference between the "readline" and "libedit" (header files)
definitions of "rl_completion_entry_function", where the "libedit" one is wrong anyway:
This variable is used as a pointer to a function returning "char *",
but "libedit" declares it as returning "int" and then adds casts on usage.
Change it to "CPFunction *" and get rid of the casts.
