#13304 closed Bug Report - General (fixed)

FTBFS with MySQL 8.0

Reported by: ltangvald Owned by: David Hampton
Priority: minor Milestone: 31.0
Component: Plugin - MythZoneminder Version: Unspecified
Severity: medium Keywords:
Cc: Ticket locked: no

Description

Build fails because the my_bool type has been removed in MySQL, to be replaced with either int or bool (ref: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/c-api-data-structures.html)

To reproduce: build mythtv source with libmysqlclient-dev 8.0+

Hopefully useful information for the MythZoneminder? wrangler....

Related to #13093 (where the use of the my_bool was added as that approach was the solution being done in other projects (now they get to change again too)).

It appears that mysql and mariadb are starting to diverge at the client API level.

Yeah, they've been steadily diverging (generally we had more issues of this type for the transition from 5.6 to 5.7, but it varies what software is affected by each change). There's a reasonably simple way to support both by adding a precompile directive:

#if !defined(MARIADB_BASE_VERSION) && MYSQL_VERSION_ID >= 80000
typedef int reconnect_t
#else
typedef my_bool reconnect_t
#endif
reconnect_t reconnect = 1;

In e87829674/mythtv:

Fix mythzoneminder compile with MySQL 8.0.

MySQL and MariaDB are beginning to diverge at the client API level.
Add a compile time directive to user the proper type of variable for
reconnecting to a database. Fixes #13304.

Should this fix be backported to fixes/30 to support customers who choose to run a newer OS with MySQL 8.0 but continue with the released fixes branch?
