Uninitialized ref_pointer_array[] because setup_fields() got empty
fields list. mysql_multi_update() for some reason does that by
substituting the fields list with empty total_list for the
mysql_select() call (looks like wrong merge since total_list is not
used anywhere else and is always empty). The fix would be to return
back the original fields list. But this fails update_use_source.test
case:
--error ER_BAD_FIELD_ERROR
update v1 set t1c1=2 order by 1;
Actually not failing the above seems to be ok.
The other fix would be to keep resolve_in_select_list false (and that
keeps outer context from being resolved in
Item_ref::fix_fields()). This fix is more consistent with how SELECT
behaves:
--error ER_SUBQUERY_NO_1_ROW
select a from t1 where a= (select 2 from t1 having (a = 3));
So this patch implements this fix.
Before this patch mergeable derived tables / view used in a multi-table
update / delete were merged before the preparation stage.
When the merge of a derived table / view is performed the on expression
attached to it is fixed and ANDed with the where condition of the select S
containing this derived table / view. It happens after the specification of
the derived table / view has been merged into S. If the ON expression refers
to a non existing field an error is reported and some other mergeable derived
tables / views remain unmerged. It's not a problem if the multi-table
update / delete statement is standalone. Yet if it is used in a stored
procedure the select with incompletely merged derived tables / views may
cause a problem for the second call of the procedure. This does not happen
for select queries using derived tables / views, because in this case their
specifications are merged after the preparation stage at which all ON
expressions are fixed.
This patch makes sure that merging of the derived tables / views used in a
multi-table update / delete statement is performed after the preparation
stage.

Cause
Join tmp table inserts null row because of OUTER JOIN, that's
expected. Since `multi_update::prepare2()` converted
`Item_temptable_rowid` into `Item_field` (28dbdf3)
`multi_update::send_data()` accesses join tmp record directly and
treats it as a normal row ignoring null status of ref field. NULL ref
field is then treated as normal in `multi_update::do_updates()` which
tries to position updated table by reference 0.
Note that reference 0 may be valid reference and the first row of
table can be wrongly updated (see multi_update.test).
Fix
Do not add row into multi-update tmp table in case of null ref
field. Join tmp table does not have null_row status at this time (as
well as `STATUS_NULL_ROW`) and cannot be skipped by these properties
(see first comment in multi_update::send_data()). But it has all null
fields (including the ref field).
preserve positions if the multi-update join is using tmp table:
* store positions in the tmp table if needed
JOIN::add_fields_for_current_rowid()
* take positions from the tmp table, not from file->position():
multi_update::prepare2()
