may return a wrong result.
An Item_sum_hybrid object has the was_values flag which indicates whether any
values were added to the sum function. By default it is set to true and reset
to false on any no_rows_in_result() call. This method is called only in
return_zero_rows() function. An ALL/ANY subquery can be optimized by MIN/MAX
optimization. The was_values flag is used to indicate whether the subquery
has returned at least one row. This bug occurs because return_zero_rows() is
called only when we know that the select will return zero rows before
starting any scans but often such information is not known.
In the reported case the return_zero_rows() function is not called and
the was_values flag is not reset to false and yet the subquery return no rows
Item_func_not_all and Item_func_nop_all functions return a wrong
comparison result.
The end_send_group() function now calls no_rows_in_result() for each item
in the fields_list if there is no rows were found for the (sub)query.
The ALL/ANY subqueries are the subject of MIN/MAX optimization. The matter
of this optimization is to embed MIN() or MAX() function into the subquery
in order to get only one row by which we can tell whether the expression
with ALL/ANY subquery is true or false.
But when it is applied to a subquery like 'select a_constant' the reported bug
occurs. As no tables are specified in the subquery the do_select() function
isn't called for the optimized subquery and thus no values have been added
to a MIN()/MAX() function and it returns NULL instead of a_constant.
This leads to a wrong query result.
For the subquery like 'select a_constant' there is no reason to apply
MIN/MAX optimization because the subquery anyway will return at most one row.
Thus the Item_maxmin_subselect class is more appropriate for handling such
subqueries.
The Item_in_subselect::single_value_transformer() function now checks
whether tables are specified for the subquery. If no then this subselect is
handled like a UNION using an Item_maxmin_subselect object.
In the code that converts IN predicates to EXISTS predicates it is changing
the select list elements to constant 1. Example :
SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE a IN (SELECT c FROM ...)
is transformed to :
SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM ... HAVING a = c)
However there can be no FROM clause in the IN subquery and it may not be
a simple select : SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE a IN (SELECT f(..) AS
c UNION SELECT ...) This query is transformed to : SELECT ... FROM ...
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM (SELECT f(..) AS c UNION SELECT ...)
x HAVING a = c) In the above query c in the HAVING clause is made to be
an Item_null_helper (a subclass of Item_ref) pointing to the real
Item_field (which is not referenced anywhere else in the query anymore).
This is done because Item_ref_null_helper collects information whether
there are NULL values in the result. This is OK for directly executed
statements, because the Item_field pointed by the Item_null_helper is
already fixed when the transformation is done. But when executed as
a prepared statement all the Item instances are "un-fixed" before the
recompilation of the prepared statement. So when the Item_null_helper
gets fixed it discovers that the Item_field it points to is not fixed
and issues an error. The remedy is to keep the original select list
references when there are no tables in the FROM clause. So the above
becomes : SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE EXISTS (SELECT c FROM (SELECT f(..)
AS c UNION SELECT ...) x HAVING a = c) In this way c is referenced
directly in the select list as well as by reference in the HAVING
clause. So it gets correctly fixed even with prepared statements. And
since the Item_null_helper subclass of Item_ref_null_helper is not used
anywhere else it's taken out.

Fixed bug #11479.
The JOIN::reinit method cannot call setup_tables
after the optimization phase since this function
removes some optimization settings for joined
tables. E.g. it resets values of the null_row flag to 0.

Missing handling of rows containing NULL components

Added missing code in Item_in_subselect::row_value_transformer

ROW(elems) IN (SELECT DISTINCT cols FROM ...).
Remove TMP_TABLE_PARAM::copy_funcs_it. TMP_TABLE_PARAM is a member of JOIN which is
copied via memcpy, and List_iterator_fast TMP_TABLE_PARAM::copy_funcs_it ends up
pointing to the wrong List.

item_cmpfunc.cc:
Fixed bug #7351: incorrect result for a query with a
subquery returning empty set.
If in the predicate v IN (SELECT a FROM t WHERE cond)
v is null, then the result of the predicate is either
INKNOWN or FALSE. It is FALSE if the subquery returns
an empty set.
item_subselect.cc:
Fixed bug #7351: incorrect result for a query with a
subquery returning empty set.
The problem was due to not a quite legal transformation
for 'IN' subqueries. A subquery containing a predicate
of the form
v IN (SELECT a FROM t WHERE cond)
was transformed into
EXISTS(SELECT a FROM t WHERE cond AND (a=v OR a IS NULL)).
Yet, this transformation is valid only if v is not null.
If v is null, then, in the case when
(SELECT a FROM t WHERE cond) returns an empty set the value
of the predicate is FALSE, otherwise the result of the
predicate is INKNOWN.
The fix resolves this problem by changing the result
of the transformation to
EXISTS(SELECT a FROM t WHERE cond AND (v IS NULL OR (a=v OR a IS NULL)))
in the case when v is nullable.
The new transformation prevents applying the lookup
optimization for IN subqueries. To make it still
applicable we have to introduce guarded access methods.

To perform proper cleanup for statements that can contain subqueries
but don't have main select we must call free_undelaid_joins().
