Based on https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-12924 I probably broke it
in ab0e5031e41d0aa72dd77a6dced9eacc8be5c548

CMakeList.txt in which directory?

I'd suggest refering to publicly pushed code/branches for review.
A branch on https://github.com/theGodlessLakra/server would be good.

Its called by function pointer -> see maria_declare_plugin in
storage/innobase/handler/ha_innodb.cc which is called by the plugin
initialization code.

reopen_fstreams in sql/{mysqld,log}.cc

You can also run mysqld in gdb and the use "break" to set a breakpoint
at a function/file:line and step through form there.

add --verbose to the mysqld argument.

sql/plugin.cc:plugin_initialize in the call to plugin->init()
