    Description

      With MySQL 6.1.x a call to mysql_options with the attribute MYSQL_SET_CHARSET_NAME and the value MYSQL_AUTODETECT_CHARSET_NAME would result in the connection correctly identifying the client character set.

      When using the MariaDB C client 3.1.7 it appears this option is ignored and the client character set remains set to the server character set value.

      Test Case

      #include <stdio.h>
      #include <mysql.h>
       
      #include <windows.h>
       
      void
      checkClientCharacterSet(MYSQL* mysql) {
          mysql_query(mysql, "SHOW SESSION VARIABLES LIKE 'character_set_client'");
          MYSQL_RES* result = mysql_store_result(mysql);
          int totalrows = mysql_num_rows(result);
          int numfields = mysql_num_fields(result);
          MYSQL_ROW row = mysql_fetch_row(result);
          fprintf(stdout, "%s \t %s\n", row[0], row[1]);
      }
       
      int
      main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
          if (argc <2) {
              fprintf(stderr, "Please enter server host name\n");
              return 1;
          }
          // Set to Windows UTF-8 code page
          // Note without this using the default code page of 437 the character_set_client will return 'latin1'
          SetConsoleCP(65001);
       
          mysql_library_init(0, NULL, NULL);
       
          MYSQL* mysql_ = mysql_init(NULL);
       
          //mysql_optionsv(mysql_, MYSQL_SET_CHARSET_NAME, "utf8"); // This works
          mysql_optionsv(mysql_, MYSQL_SET_CHARSET_NAME, MYSQL_AUTODETECT_CHARSET_NAME);
       
          if(!mysql_real_connect(mysql_, argv[1], "user", "pass", "db", 3306, NULL, 0)) {
              fprintf(stderr, "Connection to %s failed\n", argv[1]);
              mysql_close(mysql_);
              return 1;
          }
       
          checkClientCharacterSet(mysql_);
       
          mysql_close(mysql_);
          mysql_library_end();
       
          return 0;
      }
