InnoDB is default engine for 5.7, but why does the code go into myisam while debugging?

Hi all,

Today, I download the source code of mysql 5.7.16, and build it with debug. It is said from 5.5, the default DB engine is InnoDB. But after I import my data with 8000000+ records into it. The I run select count(*) from my table, like:

mysql> flush table;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> SELECT SQL_NO_CACHE COUNT(*) FROM tmp_rpt;
+----------+
| COUNT(*) |
+----------+
| 8641282 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql>

It is strange, the timing is just 0 sec, and it is said that InnoDB will go through each record to calculate the number, and my table has 8000000+ records, so the timing is not reasonable, and the mysqld I built is debug version, it should be more slower to run.

Then I check my mysql to make sure InnoDB is used, like:

mysql> show variables like 'innodb_version' \G;
*************************** 1. row ***************************
Variable_name: innodb_version
Value: 5.7.16
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

ERROR:
No query specified

mysql> show variables like 'innodb_%io_threads' \G;
*************************** 1. row ***************************
Variable_name: innodb_read_io_threads
Value: 4
*************************** 2. row ***************************
Variable_name: innodb_write_io_threads
Value: 4
2 rows in set (0.01 sec)

ERROR:
No query specified

Based on the message, InnoDB is the default engine.

To make sure, the InnoDB code is running, and I use gdb to trace the code step by step while I am running a more complicated select. But I find the code go into myisam code, like 'mi_scan':
