After this CL, all classes with Mutex members should be covered by annotations. Exceptions are atomic members, which shouldn't need locking, and DBImpl members that cause errors when annotated, which will be tackled separately.

This CL makes it easier to reason about thread safety by:

1) Adding Clang thread safety annotations according to comments.
2) Expanding a couple of variable names, without adding extra lines of code.
3) Adding const in a couple of places.
4) Replacing an always-non-null const pointer with a reference.
5) Fixing style warnings in the modified files.

This CL does not annotate the DBImpl members that claim to be protected
by the instance mutex, but are accessed without the mutex being held.
Those members (and their unprotected accesses) will be addressed in
future CLs.

Deleted two unused assignments:

1. offset_in_block in Reader::SkipToInitialBlock().
2. in_fragmented_record in Reader::ReadRecord().

Reasons for the change:
1. offset_in_block is not read again after the if condition.
2. The kFullRecordType switch branch returns, so
   in_fragmented_record isn't read again.
3. The kFirstType switch branch sets in_fragmented_record to
   true after the if, so the write in the if is ignored.

env_posix.cc and concurrent application calls to fflush(NULL).

The fix is to avoid using stdio in env_posix.cc but add our own
buffering where we need it.

12 lines above, there is an "if (!s.ok()) { return s; }" block of code.
"s" is never modified between that block and the "if" removed by this
CL, so "s.ok()" must be true.

The code most likely intended to say "if (!builder->ok())", because the
builder->Add() call above can modify the TableBuilder's status, as a
side-effect. However, this approach would have required setting "s =
builder.status()" in the "else" branch, near the "builder.Abandon()"
call. So, removing the "if" outright is simpler than following that line
of thought.

BTRFS reorders rename and write operations, so it is possible that a filesystem crash and recovery results in a situation where the file pointed to by CURRENT does not exist. DB::Open currently reports an I/O error in this case. Reporting database corruption is a better hint to the caller, which can attempt to recover the database or erase it and start over.

This issue is not merely theoretical. It was reported as having showed up in the wild at https://github.com/google/leveldb/issues/195 and at https://crbug.com/738961. Also, asides from the BTRFS case described above, incorrect data in CURRENT seems like a possible corruption case that should be handled gracefully.

The Env API changes here can be considered backwards compatible, because an implementation that returns Status::IOError instead of Status::NotFound will still get the same functionality as before.

-This fixes compile errors with default setup on RHEL 6 systems.

Detailed description:

Suppose an input split is generated between two leveldb record blocks and the preceding block ends with null padding.

A reader that previously read at least 1 record within the first block (before encountering the padding) upon trying to read the next record, will successfully and correctly read the next logical record from the subsequent block, but will return a last record offset pointing to the padding in the first block.

When this happened in a [], it resulted in duplicate records being handled at what appeared to be different offsets that were separated by only a few bytes.

This behavior is only observed when at least 1 record was read from the first block before encountering the padding. If the initial offset for a reader was within the padding, the correct record offset would be reported, namely the offset within the second block.

The tests failed to catch this scenario/bug, because each read test only read a single record with an initial offset. This CL adds an explicit test case for this scenario, and modifies the test structure to read all remaining records in the test case after an initial offset is specified.  Thus an initial offset that jumps to record #3, with 5 total records in the test file, will result in reading 2 records, and validating the offset of each of them in order to pass successfully.

1. Object files, libraries, and compiled executables are put
   into subdirectories.
2. The shared library is linked from individual object files.
   This provides for greater parallelism on large desktops
   while at the same time making for easier builds on small
   (i.e. embedded) systems. Fixes issue #279.
3. One program, db_bench, is compiled using the shared library.
4. The source file for "leveldbutil" was renamed from
   leveldb_main.cc to leveldbutil.cc. This provides for simpler
   makefile rules.
5. Because all targets placed the library (libleveldb.a) at the top
   level, the last platform built (desktop/device) always overwrote
   any prior artifact.

The write operations in the table happens without holding the mutex
lock, but concurrent writes are avoided using "writers_" queue.
The Arena::MemoryUsage could access the blocks when write happens.
So, the memory usage is cached in atomic word and can be loaded
from any thread safely.

Fix a spelling mistake.

Prior implementation would always try to reuse the manifest, even if reuse_logs
was false (the default). This was missed because the stock
Env::NewAppendableFile implementation returns false forcing the creation of a
new log.

(Based on a suggestion by cmumford.)

"open" benchmark on my workstation speeds up significantly since we
can now avoid three fdatasync calls and a compaction per open:

  Before: ~80000 microseconds
  After:    ~130 microseconds

Details:

(1) Added Options::reuse_logs (currently defaults to false) to control
new behavior.  The intention is to change the default to true after some
baking.

(2) Added Env::NewAppendableFile() whose default implementation returns
a not-supported error.

(3) VersionSet::Recovery attempts to reuse the MANIFEST from which
it is recovering.

(4) DBImpl recovery attempts to reuse the last log file and memtable.

(5) db_test.cc now tests a new configuration that sets reuse_logs to true.

(6) fault_injection_test also tests a reuse_logs==true config.

(7) Added a new recovery_test.

With these changes, this package should be properly cleaned up and not require
any further changes.

This test is intended to ensure leveldb properly detects and recovers from
faults - specifically unwritten file data lost as a result of a system reset.

Changes are:

* Update version number to 1.18
* Replace the basic fprintf call with a call to fwrite in order to
  work around the apparent compiler optimization/rewrite failure that we are
  seeing with the new toolchain/iOS SDKs provided with Xcode6 and iOS8.
* Fix ALL the header guards.
* Createed a README.md with the LevelDB project description.
* A new CONTRIBUTING file.
* Don't implicitly convert uint64_t to size_t or int.  Either preserve it as
  uint64_t, or explicitly cast. This fixes MSVC warnings about possible value
  truncation when compiling this code in Chromium.
* Added a DumpFile() library function that encapsulates the guts of the
  "leveldbutil dump" command. This will allow clients to dump
  data to their log files instead of stdout. It will also allow clients to
  supply their own environment.
* leveldb: Remove unused function 'ConsumeChar'.
* leveldbutil: Remove unused member variables from WriteBatchItemPrinter.
* OpenBSD, NetBSD and DragonflyBSD have _LITTLE_ENDIAN, so define
  PLATFORM_IS_LITTLE_ENDIAN like on FreeBSD. This fixes:
   * issue #143
   * issue #198
   * issue #249
* Switch from <cstdatomic> to <atomic>. The former never made it into the
  standard and doesn't exist in modern gcc versions at all.  The later contains
  everything that leveldb was using from the former.
  This problem was noticed when porting to Portable Native Client where no memory
  barrier is defined.  The fact that <cstdatomic> is missing normally goes
  unnoticed since memory barriers are defined for most architectures.
* Make Hash() treat its input as unsigned.  Before this change LevelDB files
  from platforms with different signedness of char were not compatible. This
  change fixes: issue #243
* Verify checksums of index/meta/filter blocks when paranoid_checks set.
* Invoke all tools for iOS with xcrun. (This was causing problems with the new
  XCode 5.1.1 image on pulse.)
* include <sys/stat.h> only once, and fix the following linter warning:
  "Found C system header after C++ system header"
* When encountering a corrupted table file, return Status::Corruption instead of
  Status::InvalidArgument.
* Support cygwin as build platform, patch is from https://code.google.com/p/leveldb/issues/detail?id=188
* Fix typo, merge patch from https://code.google.com/p/leveldb/issues/detail?id=159
* Fix typos and comments, and address the following two issues:
  * issue #166
  * issue #241
* Add missing db synchronize after "fillseq" in the benchmark.
* Removed unused variable in SeekRandom: value (issue #201)

- Cleanup: delete unused IntSetToString

  It was added in http://cr/19491949 (and was referenced at the time).
  The last reference was removed in http://cr/19507363.

  This fixes warning/error with pre-release crosstoolv18:
    'std::string leveldb::{anonymous}::IntSetToString(const std::set<long unsigned int>&)' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]

- Added arm64 and and armv7s to IOS build as suggested on leveldb mailing list.

- Changed local variable type from int to size_t

  This eliminates compiler warning/error and resolves
  https://code.google.com/p/leveldb/issues/detail?id=140

- Make Log::Reader not report a corruption when the last record in a
  log file is truncated.
- Fix issue 224: variable created but not utilized.
- Remove comment that referenced a removed feature.

- switched from mmap based writing to simpler stdio based writing. Has a
  minor impact (0.5 microseconds) on microbenchmarks for asynchronous
  writes. Synchronous writes speed up from 30ms to 10ms on linux/ext4.
  Should be much more reliable on diverse platforms.
- compaction errors now immediately put the database into a read-only
  mode (until it is re-opened). As a downside, a disk going out of
  space and then space being created will require a re-open to recover
  from, whereas previously that would happen automatically. On the
  plus side, many corruption possibilities go away.
- force the DB to enter an error-state so that all future writes fail
  when a synchronous log write succeeds but the sync fails.
- repair now regenerates sstables that exhibit problems
- fix issue 218 - Use native memory barriers on OSX
- fix issue 212 - QNX build is broken
- fix build on iOS with xcode 5
- make tests compile and pass on windows

Fix issues 200, 201

Also,
* Fix link to bigtable paper in docs.
* New sstables will have the file extension .ldb. .sst files will
continue to be recognized.
* When building for iOS, use xcrun to execute the compiler. This may
affect issue 177.

Fix issues 77, 87, 182, 190.

Additionally, fix the bug described in
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/leveldb/yL6h1mAOc20/vLU64RylIdMJ
