Right. That's exactly why I ask.

We cannot accept your plugin and it'll be of little use to the community
(not "of no use", it'll be used, but less than it could've been) if one
would need to modify and recompile MariaDB to use your plugin.

If you'd like, let's try to figure out whether you can collect your
infomation without patching the server. So what data do you need,
exactly?

Of course. Because you want sql_parse.cc to call your plugin, your
plugin *always must be in the server*. You cannot have it as a separate
shared object. To do that, add the MANDATORY keyword to your
MYSQL_ADD_PLUGIN() declaration in CMakeLists.txt
