Bug #45336 --enable-foobar doesn't work for any plugin foobar.
Submitted: 4 Jun 19:22 Modified: 21 Jul 20:26
Reporter: Kristofer Pettersson

Category:Server Severity:S3 (Non-critical)

Triage: Triaged: D2 (Serious)

Description:
This is a regression introduced by bug#19027. Since all plugin names now are tristate
options with optional parameters integer values are not accepted. Since the 'enable'
prefix attempts to assign '1' to the option the operation fails.

How to repeat:
Start server with the 'enable' prefix attached to any plugin: --enable-innodb.

Suggested fix:
Allow for my_getopt() to assign '1' to the option variable and interpret this as the
second enumerated item if the option is of type ENUM.

This makes --enable-innodb equivalent to --innodb=ON

      Bug#45336 --enable-foobar doesn't work for any plugin foobar.
      
      Because of a regression introduced by bug#19027 the option --enable-foobar
      doesn't work anymore for any plugin 'foobar'. The reason is that plugin
      names are tristate options variables with optional parameters and integer
      values are not accepted. Since the 'enable' prefix attempts to assign '1'
      to the option the operation fails.
      
      This patch translates any number n assigned to a plugin variable of type ENUM
      to be the corresponding enumerated item. As a side effect --enable-foobar and
      --disable-foobar will also start working again.
     @ mysys/my_getopt.c
        * setval now accepts integer values for option variables of type ENUM.

Noted in 5.1.37 changelog.

Bug#19027 caused --enable-plugin_name (for example, --enable-innodb)
not to work. 

Did not add to 5.4.4 changelog because Bug#19027 was also in 5.4.4 and thus the problem
does not occur in any released version.
[12 Aug 23:50] Paul DuBois 
Noted in 5.4.2 changelog because next 5.4 version will be 5.4.2 and not 5.4.4.
[15 Aug 0:47] Paul DuBois 
Ignore previous comment about 5.4.2.
