MemorySanitizer (clang -fsanitize=memory) requires that all code
be compiled with instrumentation enabled. The C runtime library
is an exception. Failure to use instrumented libraries will cause
bogus messages about memory being uninitialized.
In WITH_MSAN builds, we must avoid calling getservbyname(),
because even though it is a standard library function, it is
not instrumented, not even in clang 10.
The following cmake options were tested:
-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS='-march=native -O2'
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS='-stdlib=libc++ -march=native -O2'
-DWITH_EMBEDDED_SERVER=OFF -DWITH_UNIT_TESTS=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
-DWITH_INNODB_{BZIP2,LZ4,LZMA,LZO,SNAPPY}=OFF
-DPLUGIN_{ARCHIVE,TOKUDB,MROONGA,OQGRAPH,ROCKSDB,CONNECT,SPIDER}=NO
-DWITH_SAFEMALLOC=OFF
-DWITH_{ZLIB,SSL,PCRE}=bundled
-DHAVE_LIBAIO_H=0
-DWITH_MSAN=ON
MEM_MAKE_DEFINED(): An alias for VALGRIND_MAKE_MEM_DEFINED()
and in the future, __msan_unpoison().
For now, neither MEM_MAKE_DEFINED() nor MEM_UNDEFINED()
perform any action under MSAN. Enabling them will catch more bugs, but
will also require some more fixes or work-arounds.
Json_writer::add_double(): Work around a frequently occurring
failure in optimizer tests, related to EXPLAIN FORMAT=JSON.
dtoa(): Disable MSAN altogether. For some reason, this function
is triggering a lot of trouble, especially when invoked for
DBUG functions. The MDL default timeout is dd=86400 seconds,
and for some reason it is claimed to be uninitialized.
InnoDB: Define UNIV_DEBUG_VALGRIND also WITH_MSAN.
ut_crc32_8_hw(), ut_crc32_64_low_hw(): Use the compiler built-in
functions instead of inline assembler when building WITH_MSAN.
This will require at least -msse4.2 when building for IA-32 or AMD64.
The inline assembler would not be instrumented, and would thus cause
bogus failures.

MariaDB: drop-in replacement for MySQL
MariaDB is designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.
MariaDB is brought to you by the MariaDB Foundation and the MariaDB corporation. Please read the CREDITS file for details about the MariaDB Foundation, and who is developing MariaDB.
MariaDB is developed by many of the original developers of MySQL who now work for the MariaDB Corporation, the MariaDB Foundation and by many people in the community.
MySQL, which is the base of MariaDB, is a product and trademark of Oracle Corporation, Inc. For a list of developers and other contributors, see the Credits appendix. You can also run 'SHOW authors' to get a list of active contributors.
A description of the MariaDB project and a manual can be found at:
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-vs-mysql-features/
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-versus-mysql-compatibility/
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/new-and-old-releases/
As MariaDB is a full replacement of MySQL, the MySQL manual at http://dev.mysql.com/doc is generally applicable.
Help
More help is available from the Maria Discuss mailing list https://launchpad.net/~maria-discuss and the #maria IRC channel on Freenode.
Live QA for beginner contributors
MariaDB has a dedicated time each week when we answer new contributor questions live on Zulip and IRC. From 8:00 to 10:00 UTC on Mondays, and 10:00 to 12:00 UTC on Thursdays, anyone can ask any questions they’d like, and a live developer will be available to assist.
New contributors can ask questions any time, but we will provide immediate feedback during that interval.
Licensing
