can lead to bad memory access

Problem: Field_bit is the only field which returns INT_RESULT
and doesn't have unsigned flag. As it's not a descendant of the 
Field_num, so using ((Field_num *) field_bit)->unsigned_flag may lead
to unpredictable results.

Fix: check the field type before casting.

The pthread_cond_wait implementations for windows might
dead lock in some rare circumstances.

1) One thread (I) enter a timed wait and at a point in
   time ends up after mutex unlock and before
   WaitForMultipleObjects(...)
2) Another thread (II) enters pthread_cond_broadcast.
   Grabs the mutex and discovers one waiter. It set
   the broadcast event and closes the broadcast gate
   then unlocks the mutex.
3) A third thread (III) issues a pthread_cond_signal.
   It grabs the mutex, discovers one waiter, sets the
   signal event then unlock the mutex.
4) The first threads (I) enters WaitForMultipleObjects
   and finds out that the signal object is in a
   signalled state and exits the wait.
5) Thread (I) grabs the mutex and checks result status.
   The number of waiters is decreased and becomes equal
   to 0. The event returned was a signal event so the
   broadcast gate isn't opened. The mutex is released.
6) Thread (II) issues a new broadcast. The mutex is
   acquired but the number of waiters are 0 hence
   the broadcast gate remains closed.
7) Thread (I) enters the wait again but is blocked by
   the broadcast gate.

      This fix resolves the above issue by always resetting
      broadcast gate when there are no more waiters in th queue.

                    Removes the need of a hack (the jump to label).

On Mac OS X or Windows, sending a SIGHUP to the server or a
asynchronous flush (triggered by flush_time), would cause the
server to crash.

The problem was that a hook used to detach client API handles
wasn't prepared to handle cases where the thread does not have
a associated session.

The solution is to verify whether the thread has a associated
session before trying to detach a handle.

Make configure.js bail with an error if trying to build bdb from a bzr
tree.

          'flush tables' crashes

The server crashes when 'show procedure status' and 'flush tables' are
run concurrently.

This is caused by the way mysql.proc table is added twice to the list
of table to lock although the requirements on the current locking API
assumes differently.

No test case is submitted because of the nature of the crash which is 
currently difficult to reproduce in a deterministic way.

This is a backport from 5.1

The 'BEGIN/COMMIT/ROLLBACK' log event could be filtered out if the
database is not selected by --database option of mysqlbinlog command.
This can result in problem if there are some statements in the
transaction are not filtered out.

To fix the problem, mysqlbinlog will output 'BEGIN/ROLLBACK/COMMIT' 
in regardless of the database filtering rules.

          replication
              
MySQL server uses wrong lock type (always TL_READ instead of
TL_READ_NO_INSERT when appropriate) for tables used in
subqueries of UPDATE statement. This leads in some cases to
a broken replication as statements are written in the wrong
order to the binlog.

Add --help option.

The fix for bug 46749 removed the check for OUTER_REF_TABLE_BIT 
and substituted it for a check on the presence of 
Item_ident::depended_from.
Removing it altogether was wrong : OUTER_REF_TABLE_BIT should 
still be checked in addition to depended_from (because it's not 
set in all cases and doesn't contradict to the check of depended_from).
Fixed by returning the old condition back as a compliment to the 
new one.

 - Create the "dummy" thread joinable and wait for it to
   exit before continuing in 'my_thread_global_init'
 - This way we know that the pthread library is initialized
   by one thread only

    Solaris binary packages should be compiled with '-g0', not '-g'

The main fix for this is done in the build tools,
but in the sources it affects "configure.in"
which sets "DEBUG_CXXFLAGS" to be used in all debug builds.

This is the fifth patch cleaning up more GCC warnings about
variables used before initialized using the new macro
UNINIT_VAR().

The problem is that argument buffer can be used as result buffer
and it leads to argument value change.
The fix is to use 'old buffer' as result buffer only
if first argument is not constant item.

Updates the results of all the out-dated test suites and adds 
the special mysqltest command to enable innodb for the tests that need it.

Backport from 5.1.
Does also include key cache fixes from:
Bug 44068 (RESTORE can disable the MyISAM Key Cache)
Bug 40944 (Backup: crash after myisampack)

Memory allocated in TMP_TABLE_PARAM::copy_field is not cleaned up.
The fix is to clean up TMP_TABLE_PARAM::copy_field array in JOIN::destroy.

                    name as existing view

When trying to create a table with the same name as existing view with
join, mysql server crashes.

The problem is when create table is issued with the same name as view, while
verifying with the existing tables, we assume that base table object is 
created always.

In this case, since it is a view over multiple tables, we don't have the 
mysql derived table object.

Fixed the logic which checks if there is an existing table to not to assume
that table object is created when the base table is view over multiple 
tables.

Add my_sync.c to mysqltest sources list in CMakeLists.txt

myisamchk tool generates warnings when run on an myisam files (.MYI or .MYD)
This is because of the conversion of max_value for certain options in myisamchk 
from singed long to unsigned long

The max value for the options key_buffer_size, read_buffer_size, write_buffer
_size and sort_buffer_size is given as (long) ~0L which becomes -1  when casted
from signed long to longlong and then casted to ulonglong. When (ulonglong) -1 
is compared with maximal value for GET_ULONG data type, we adjust it to 
(ulonglong) ULONG_MAX and throw the warning.

Fixed by using the right max size.

Max values for the variables (from mysqld.cc)
----------------------------
1. key_buffer_size
   5.0: ULONG_MAX
   5.1: SIZE_T_MAX
   6.0: SIZE_T_MAX

2. read_buffer_size and write_buffer_size
   5.0: INT_MAX32
   5.1: INT_MAX32
   6.0: INT_MAX32

3. sort_buffer_size (aka myisam_sort_buffer_size)
   5.0: UINT_MAX32
   5.1: ULONG_MAX
   6.0: ULONG_MAX

When uncacheable queries are written to a temp table the optimizer must 
preserve the original JOIN structure, because it is re-using the JOIN 
structure to read from the resulting temporary table.
This was done only for uncacheable sub-queries. 
But top level queries can also benefit from this mechanism, specially if 
they're using index access and need a reset.
Fixed by not limiting the saving of JOIN structure to subqueries
exclusively.
Added a new test file to extend the existing (large) subquery.test.

                    CREATE TABLE...LIKE...
      
The mysql server option 'sync_frm' is ignored when table is created with 
syntax CREATE TABLE .. LIKE.. 
      
Fixed by adding the MY_SYNC flag and calling my_sync() from my_copy() when
the flag is set.

In mysql_create_table(), when the 'sync_frm' is set, MY_SYNC flag is passed 
to my_copy().
