mysqltest checks if the stmt is one that should be run in ps mode,

Fix: match function will jump over /*..*/ if found at start

Backported use of setenv() from 5.5
This will remove the leak on systems that have setenv()
I have not fixed the string.c leak, it's a local variable
   that the cleanup function cannot access.

Fixing test case that fails on Windows because .dll is used.

When installing plugins, there is a missing check
for slash (/) in the path on Windows. Note that on
Windows, both / and \ can be used to separate
directories.

This patch fixes the issue by:
- Adding a FN_DIRSEP symbol for all platforms
  consisting of a string of legal directory
  separators.
- Adding a charset-aware version of strcspn().
- Adding a check_valid_path() function that uses
  my_strcspn() to check if any FN_DIRSEP character
  is in the supplied string.
- Using the check_valid_path() function in
  sql_plugin.cc and sql_udf.cc (which means
  replacing the existing test there).

The windows MTR run exhibited a different test execution 
ordering (due to the fact that in these platforms MTR is invoked
with --parallel > 1). This uncovered a bug in the aforementioned
test case, which is triggered by the following conditions:

  1. server is not restarted between two different tests;
  2. the test before binlog.binlog_row_failure_mixing_engines
     issues flush logs;
  3. binlog.binlog_row_failure_mixing_engines uses binlog
     positions to limit the output of show_binlog_events;
  4. binlog.binlog_row_failure_mixing_engines does not state which
     binlog file to use, thence it uses a wrong binlog file with
     the correct position.

There are two possible fixes: 1. make sure that the test start 
from a clean slate - binlog wise; 2. in addition to the position, 
also state the binary log file before sourcing 
show_binlog_events.inc .

We go for fix #1, ie, deploy a RESET MASTER before the test is 
actually started.

The problem is that the logic which checks if a pointer is
valid relies on a poor heuristic based on the start and end
addresses of the data segment and heap.

Apart from miscalculating the heap bounds, this approach also
suffers from the fact that memory can come from places other
than the heap. See Bug#58528 for a more detailed explanation.

On Linux, the solution is to access the process's memory
through /proc/self/task/<tid>/mem, which allows for retrieving
the contents of pages within the virtual address space of
the calling process. If a address range is not mapped, a
input/output error is returned.

the DROP statement ..."
      
Problem: When using temporary tables and closing a session, an
implicit DROP TEMPORARY TABLE IF EXISTS is written to the binary
log (while cleaning up the context of the session THD - see:
sql_class.cc:THD::cleanup which calls close_temporary_tables).
     
close_temporary_tables, first checks if the binary log is opened
and then proceeds to creating the DROP statements. Then, such
statements, are written to the binary log through
MYSQL_BIN_LOG::write(Log_event *). Inside, there is another check
if the binary log is opened and if not an error is returned. This
is where the faulty behavior is triggered. Given that the test
case replays a binary log, with temp tables statements, and right
after it issues RESET MASTER, there is a chance that is_open will
report false (when the mysql session is closed and the temporary
tables are written).
      
is_open may return false, because MYSQL_BIN_LOG::reset_logs is
not setting the correct flag (LOG_CLOSE_TO_BE_OPENED), on the
MYSQL_LOG_BIN::log_state (instead it sets just the
LOG_CLOSE_INDEX flag, leaving the log_state to
LOG_CLOSED). Thence, when writing the DROP statement as part of
the THD::cleanup, the thread could get a return value of false
for is_open - inside MYSQL_BIN_LOG::write, ultimately reporting
that it can't write the event to the binary log.
      
Fix: We fix this by adding the correct flag, missing in the
second close.

When using BINLOG statement to execute rows log events, session variables
foreign_key_checks and unique_checks are changed temporarily.  As each rows
log event has their own special session environment and its own
foreign_key_checks and unique_checks can be different from current session
which executing the BINLOG statement. But these variables are not restored
correctly after BINLOG statement. This problem will cause that the following
statements fail or generate unexpected data.

In this patch, code is added to backup and restore these two variables.
So BINLOG statement will not affect current session's variables again.

After dropping and recreating the database specified along with --one-database
option at command line, mysql client keeps filtering the statements even after
the execution of a 'USE' command on the same database.

--one-database option enables the filtering of statements when the current
database is not the one specified at the command line. However, when the same
database is dropped and recreated the variable (current_db) that holds the
inital database name gets altered. This bug exploits the fact that current_db
initially gets set to null value (0) when a 'use db_name' follows the recreation
of same database db_name (speficied at the command line) and hence skip_updates
gets set to 1, which inturn triggers the further filtering of statements.

Fixed by making get_current_db() a no-op function when one_database is set,
and hence, under that condition current_db will not get altered.
Note, however the value of current_db can change when we execute 'connect'
command with a differnet database to reconnect to the server, in which case,
the behavior of --one-database will be formulated using this new database.

Fixed as suggested in the .inc file and two tests
Could not reproduce problem, but tested tests on Windows

It does work in general, the problem here was that the test name
'alter_table' matches 'main.alter_table-big' which has already been found.
Fixed by matching more explicitly (with/without suite name)
