Re: Preparse Query Rewrite Plugin DLL

[Georgi Kodinov]

Hello,

When mysql server plugins are using more than just the officially documented plugin service APIs (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/plugin-services.html) they need to link to the mysqld binary. This is to allow satisfying the dll's external symbol references to symbols in the executable at INSTALL PLUGIN time. It's not a real link, since the binary is not actually embedded into the dll.
But this makes the plugins dependent on functionality that's not guaranteed to be stable across binary versions.

In your case you're trying to use the server's performance schema memory instrumentation APIs (mysql_memory_register etc). This is not a published API atm.

We also offer a device to compile your plugins in a way that's guaranteed to have these resolved. Please check the following section from the reference manual: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/compiling-plugin-libraries.html
