STRING_RESULT argument
There is a "magic" number for precision : NOT_FIXED_DEC.
This means that the precision is not a fixed number.
But this constant was re-defined in several files and
was not available to the UDF developers.
Moved the NOT_FIXED_DEC definition to the correct header
and removed the redundant definitions.
Backported to 5.6.0 (mysql-next-mr-runtime)

message:
Get rid of typedef struct for the most commonly used types:
TABLE, TABLE_SHARE, LEX. This simplifies use of tags
and forward declarations.
The problem was that appending values to the end of an existing
ENUM or SET column was being treated as table data modification,
preventing a immediately (fast) table alteration that occurs when
only table metadata is being modified.
The cause was twofold: adding a enumeration or set members to the
end of the list of valid member values was not being considered
a "compatible" table alteration, and for SET columns, the check
was being done upon the max display length and not the underlying
(pack) length of the field.
The solution is to augment the function that checks wether two ENUM
or SET fields are compatible -- by comparing the pack lengths and
performing a limited comparison of the member values.
The problem was that creating a DECIMAL column from a decimal
value could lead to a failed assertion as decimal values can
have a higher precision than those attached to a table. The
assert could be triggered by creating a table from a decimal
with a large (> 30) scale. Also, there was a problem in
calculating the number of digits in the integral and fractional
parts if both exceeded the maximum number of digits permitted
by the new decimal type.
The solution is to ensure that truncation procedure is executed
when deducing a DECIMAL column from a decimal value of higher
precision. If the integer part is equal to or bigger than the
maximum precision for the DECIMAL type (65), the integer part
is truncated to fit and the fractional becomes zero. Otherwise,
the fractional part is truncated to fit into the space left
after the integer part is copied.
This patch borrows code and ideas from Martin Hansson's patch.
Altering a table to update a column with types DATE or TIMESTAMP
would incorrectly be seen as a significant change that necessitates
a slow copy+rename operation instead of a fast update.
There were two problems:
The character set is magically set for TIMESTAMP to be "binary",
but that was done too deep in field use code for ALTER TABLE to
know of it. Now, put that in the constructor for Field_timestamp.
Also, when we set the character set for the new replacement/
comparison field, also raise the "binary" field flag that tells us
we should compare it exactly. That is necessary to match the old
stored definition.
Next is the problem that the default length for TIMESTAMP and DATE
fields is different than the length read from the .frm . The
compressed size is written to the file, but the human-readable,
part-delimited length is used as default length. IIRC, for
timestamp it was 19!=14, and for date it was 8!=10. Length
mismatch causes a table copy.
Also, clean up a place where a comparison function alters one of its
parameters and replace it with an assertion of the condition it
mutates.
Problem: mysqld doesn't detect that enum data must be reinserted performing
'ALTER TABLE' in some cases.
Fix: reinsert data altering an enum field if enum values are changed.
A stored procedure involving substrings could crash the server on certain
platforms because of invalid memory reads.
During storing the new blob-field value, the cached value's address range
overlapped that of the new field value. This caused problems when the
cached value storage was reallocated to provide access for a new
characater set representation. The patch checks the address ranges, and if
they overlap, the new field value is copied to a new storage before it is
converted to the new character set.
returns unexpected result
If:
1. a table has a not nullable BIT column c1 with a length
shorter than 8 bits and some additional not nullable
columns c2 etc, and
2. the WHERE clause is like: (c1 = constant) AND c2 ...,
the SELECT query returns unexpected result set.
The server stores BIT columns in a tricky way to save disk
space: if column's bit length is not divisible by 8, the
server places reminder bits among the null bits at the start
of a record. The rest bytes are stored in the record itself,
and Field::ptr points to these rest bytes.
However if a bit length of the whole column is less than 8,
there are no remaining bytes, and there is nothing to store in
the record at its regular place. In this case Field::ptr points
to bytes actually occupied by the next column in a record.
If both columns (BIT and the next column) are NOT NULL,
the Field::eq function incorrectly deduces that this is the
same column, so query transformation/equal item elimination
code (see build_equal_items_for_cond) may mix these columns
and damage conditions containing references to them.
This fix is for 5.0 only : back porting the 6.0 patch manually
The parser code in sql/sql_yacc.yy needs to be more robust to out of
memory conditions, so that when parsing a query fails due to OOM,
the thread gracefully returns an error.
Before this fix, a new/alloc returning NULL could:
- cause a crash, if dereferencing the NULL pointer,
- produce a corrupted parsed tree, containing NULL nodes,
- alter the semantic of a query, by silently dropping token values or nodes
With this fix:
- C++ constructors are *not* executed with a NULL "this" pointer
when operator new fails.
This is achieved by declaring "operator new" with a "throw ()" clause,
so that a failed new gracefully returns NULL on OOM conditions.
- calls to new/alloc are tested for a NULL result,
- The thread diagnostic area is set to an error status when OOM occurs.
This ensures that a request failing in the server properly returns an
ER_OUT_OF_RESOURCES error to the client.
- OOM conditions cause the parser to stop immediately (MYSQL_YYABORT).
This prevents causing further crashes when using a partially built parsed
tree in further rules in the parser.
No test scripts are provided, since automating OOM failures is not
instrumented in the server.
Tested under the debugger, to verify that an error in alloc_root cause the
thread to returns gracefully all the way to the client application, with
an ER_OUT_OF_RESOURCES error.
Tables in the table definition cache are keeping a cache buffer for blob
fields which can consume a lot of memory.
This patch introduces a maximum size threshold for these buffers.
In order to handle CHAR() fields, 8 bits were reserved for
the size of the CHAR field. However, instead of denoting the
number of characters in the field, field_length was used which
denotes the number of bytes in the field.
Since UTF-8 fields can have three bytes per character (and
has been extended to have four bytes per character in 6.0),
an extra two bits have been encoded in the field metadata
work for fields of type Field_string (i.e., CHAR fields).
Since the metadata word is filled, the extra bits have been
encoded in the upper 4 bits of the real type (the most
significant byte of the metadata word) by computing the
bitwise xor of the extra two bits. Since the upper 4 bits
of the real type always is 1111 for Field_string, this
means that for fields of length <256, the encoding is
identical to the encoding used in pre-5.1.26 servers, but
for lengths of 256 or more, an unrecognized type is formed,
causing an old slave (that does not handle lengths of 256
or more) to stop.
or incorrect.
For better conformance with standard, truncation procedure of CHAR columns
has been changed to ignore truncation of trailing whitespace characters
(note has been removed).
Finally, for columns with non-binary charsets:
1. CHAR(N) columns silently ignore trailing whitespace truncation;
2. VARCHAR and TEXT columns issue Note about truncation.
BLOBs and other columns with BINARY charset are unaffected.

Problem was that Field_bit used Field::hash() function that did not
know about using null-byte for storing bits.
Resulting in wrong length, which was caught by valgrind.
Solution: created a Field_bit::hash() that uses Field_bit::val_int()
and my_charset_bin-collation function hash_sort.
Also use the store function for platform independs
Server handles truncation for assignment of too-long values
into CHAR/VARCHAR/TEXT columns in a different ways when the
truncated characters are spaces:
1. CHAR(N) columns silently ignore end-space truncation;
2. TEXT columns post a truncation warning/error in the
non-strict/strict mode.
3. VARCHAR columns always post a truncation note in
any mode.
Space truncation processing has been synchronised over
CHAR/VARCHAR/TEXT columns: current behavior of VARCHAR
columns has been propagated as standard.
Binary-encoded string/BLOB columns are not affected.
w/ Field_date instead of Field_newdate
Field_date was still used in temp table creation.
Fixed by using Field_newdate consistently throughout the server
except when reading tables defined with older MySQL version.
No test suite is possible because both Field_date and Field_newdate
return the same values in all the metadata calls.
