Description:
When debug compiling MySQL Cluster on Windows the mysys library was not compiled with -DSAFEMALLOC and -DSAFE_MUTEX causing mismatch between malloc and safemalloc free

How to repeat:
Since mysys only consists of C files, the defines was only added to CNAKE_CFLAGS_DEBUG. Recently a my_socket.cc file was added to the mysys project, thus causing it to use the CMAKE_CXXFLAGS_DEBUG(which was not set properly) causing mismatch between malloc and safemalloc free(for example)

Suggested fix:
Rename the my_socket.cc to my_socket.c

Documented bugfix in the NDB-7.0.14 and 7.1.3 changelogs as follows:

        When debug compiling MySQL Cluster on Windows, the mysys library
        was not compiled with -DSAFEMALLOC and -DSAFE_MUTEX, due to the
        fact that my_socket.c was misnamed as my_socket.cc.

Closed.
