If you have some very specific problem, you can always try to debug MySQL. To do this you must configure MySQL with the-DWITH_DEBUG=1 option. You can check whether MySQL was compiled with debugging by doing:mysqld --help. If the--debug flag is listed with the options then you have debugging enabled.mysqladmin ver also lists themysqld version asmysql ... --debug in this case.
Ifmysqld stops crashing when you configure it with the-DWITH_DEBUG=1 CMake option, you probably have found a compiler bug or a timing bug within MySQL. In this case, you can try to add-g using theCMAKE_C_FLAGS andCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS CMake options and not use-DWITH_DEBUG=1. Ifmysqld dies, you can at least attach to it withgdb or usegdb on the core file to find out what happened.
When you configure MySQL for debugging you automatically enable a lot of extra safety check functions that monitor the health ofmysqld. If they find something“unexpected,” an entry is written tostderr, whichmysqld_safe directs to the error log! This also means that if you are having some unexpected problems with MySQL and are using a source distribution, the first thing you should do is to configure MySQL for debugging. If you believe that you have found a bug, please use the instructions atSection 1.6, “How to Report Bugs or Problems”.
In the Windows MySQL distribution,mysqld.exe is by default compiled with support for trace files.
