Mac lovers (who can use C/C++ and a debugger),

As your MariaDB developers are hard at work getting 10.5 ready for you, 
unfortunately a bug has slipped into the 10.5 branch making it unusable on OSX 
(at least that's what it looks like on the CI infrastructure).

The bug report is here:

https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-22173

As the time of developers is a little short as is the availability of OSX 
hardware, I'm hoping some of you are able to spend a few hours tackling this 
task to understand it better, and if possible, create patch.

Steps:
 1. build environment https://mariadb.com/kb/en/Build_Environment_Setup_for_Mac/
 2. clone the source 
git clone --branch 10.5 https://github.com/MariaDB/server.git mariadb-server
cd mariadb-server
git submodule update --recursive --init
 3. build instructions https://mariadb.com/kb/en/generic-build-instructions/ 
(you don't need to install)
 4. test (from build directory)
  mysql-test/mysql-test-run  main.select

might be useful here:

--debugger=NAME or --gdb
client-debugger=NAME or client-gdb

To paraphrase J.F.Kennedy

ask not what your database server community can do for you — ask what you can 
do for your database server community.


Keep the community spirit going,
