comp_err - Compile MySQL Error Message File


The comp_err creates the errmsg.sys file which is used by mysqld to determine the error messages that need to be displayed for different error codes. After the current update to MySQL, the error information comes from the messages_to_error_log.txt and messages_to_clients.txt files in the share directory.

Before MySQL 8.0.19, the error information used to come from the errmsg-utf8.txt file in the sql/share directory. The comp_err also generates the mysqld_error.h, mysqld_ername.h, and mysqld_errmsg.h header files.
