Bug Description

With Fedora 14 due out early Nov I have been doing Drizzle testing on it. Looks like the clobber workaround isn't working in GCC 4.5:

cc1plus: warnings being treated as errors
plugin/pbms/src/engine_ms.cc: In static member function 'static int32_t MSEngine::dropDatabase(const char*, PBMSResultRec*)':
plugin/pbms/src/engine_ms.cc:338:7: error: variable 'err' might be clobbered by 'longjmp' or 'vfork' [-Wclobbered]

This is a bit of a bugger because I think this is actually a compiler/optimizer bug.

I can rearrange the code so that 'err' is not even in scope when setjmp() is called and it still reports it as possibly being clobbered.

I do not like the CLOBBER_PROTECT() macro though because it works by making assumptions about what the compiler does.

I will see if I cannot change this so that CLOBBER_PROTECT() is no longer needed.

I have updated the PBMS code in the branch:
~barry-leslie/drizzle/drizzle_pbms

Please use this branch to test if this now builds with GCC 4.5 on Fedora 14.
