Both arguments of the function NAME_CONST must be constant expressions.
This constraint is checked in the Item_name_const::fix_fields method.
Yet if the argument of the function was not a constant expression no
error message was reported. As a result the client hanged waiting for a
response.
Now the function Item_name_const::fix_fields reports an error message
when any of the additional context conditions imposed on the function
NAME_CONST is not satisfied.
Problem: passing a non-constant name to the NAME_CONST function results in a crash.
Fix: check the NAME_CONST name argument; return fake item type if we got
non-constant argument(s).
Problem: lying to the optimizer that a function (Item_func_inet_ntoa)
cannot return NULL values leads to unexpected results (in the case group
keys creation/comparison is broken).
Fix: Item_func_inet_ntoa::maybe_null should be set properly.
The NAME_CONST function is required to work correctly with constants only.
When executed with functions that return types other than those returned by
Item::field_type (string, int, decimal, or real), the result gets cast to
one of those types. This cannot happen for constants.
Fixed by only allowing constants as arguments to NAME_CONST.
results)
Before this fix, the function BENCHMARK() would fail to evaluate expressions
like "(select avg(a) from t1)" in debug builds (with an assert),
or would report a time of zero in non debug builds.
The root cause is that evaluation of DECIMAL_RESULT expressions was not
supported in Item_func_benchmark::val_int().
This has been fixed by this change.
- Fix typo in Item_func_export_set::fix_length_and_dec() which caused character set aggregation to fail
- Remove default argument from last arg of agg_arg_charsets() function, to reduce potential errors
- Set max_length of Item_func_uuid to max_length*system_charset_info->mbmaxlen
Note! Item_func_uuid should be set to use 'ascii' charset when hex(), format(), md5()
etc will use 'ascii'
- Comitting again, the old patch seems to have been lost.
- Set max_length of Item_func_uuid to max_length*system_charset_info->mbmaxlen
Note! Item_func_uuid should be set to use 'ascii' charset when hex(), format(), md5() etc will use 'ascii'
