Hi, Aleksey!

We have a series of IF_xxx(A,B) macros, IF_PARTITIONING, IF_WIN, etc. IF_DBUG(A,B) expands to A if dbug is compiled in, otherwise into B.
having IF_DBUG(A,B) and DBUG_IF(keyword) might be confusing.
Looks like IF_DBUG is superfluous macro and should be replaced by
#ifndef DBUG_OFF #endif
No, it's used in expression. Precisely, to avoid ifdefs.
So, what about DBUG(A) variant?

Renamed this error code and ugly ER_KEY_COLUMN_DOES_NOT_EXITS Changed the message.
Unfortunatey ER_xxx constants are generally part of the API, client applications do
if (mysql_errno() == ER_KEY_COLUMN_DOES_NOT_EXITS) ...
so renaming cannot be done lightly. Only if really unavoidable and then with a compatibility fallback, like we have now in mysql.h:
#define ER_WARN_DATA_TRUNCATED WARN_DATA_TRUNCATED #define WARN_PLUGIN_DELETE_BUILTIN ER_PLUGIN_DELETE_BUILTIN #define ER_FK_DUP_NAME ER_DUP_CONSTRAINT_NAME ...
I'd make that anyway with that proxy stuff in mysql.h. C++14 can mark variables deprecated. That can help throw away deprecated constants after some period of time.
Those are defines, I don't know if you can mark them deprecated.
About your ER_KEY_COLUMN_DOES_NOT_EXITS replacement:
$ grep -c DOES_NOT_EXIST sql/share/errmsg-utf8.txt 6 $ grep -c NOT_EXIST sql/share/errmsg-utf8.txt 7
So only one existing error message uses NOT_EXIST without DOES. Let's keep the conventional naming. So, it should be
ER_KEY_DOES_NOT_EXIST ER_KEY_COLUMN_DOES_NOT_EXIST ER_PARTITION_DOES_NOT_EXIST ER_REORG_PARTITION_DOES_NOT_EXIST
That is longer by the whole useless word...
