Description
MariaDB's m_string.h exports generic function names without a namespace prefix, like str2int, which leads to collisions with other project's internal functions. See for example the Gentoo/Linux bugreport for a problem with GLPK.
I also reported this issue against GLPK: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-glpk/2014-02/msg00001.html
Andrew Makhorin correctly points out that MariaDB "should keep the namespace clean".
