it doesn't select.
This bug was fixed along with bug #16861: User defined variable can
have a wrong value if a tmp table was used.
There the fix consisted of Item_func_set_user_var overloading the method
Item::save_in_field. Consider the query from the test case:
INSERT INTO foo( bar, baz )
SELECT
bar,
@newBaz := 1 + baz
FROM
foo
WHERE
quux <= 0.1;
Here the assignment expression '@newBaz := 1 + baz' is represented by an
Item_func_set_user_var. Its member method save_in_field, which writes the
value of this assignment into the result field, writes the val_xxx() value,
which is not updated at this point. In the fix introduced by the patch,
the save_in_field method reads the actual variable value instead.

Item_func_set_user_var::save_in_field (item_func.cc)
created for sorting.
Any outer reference in a subquery was represented by an Item_field object.
If the outer select employs a temporary table all such fields should be
replaced with fields from that temporary table in order to point to the
actual data. This replacement wasn't done and that resulted in a wrong
subquery evaluation and a wrong result of the whole query.
Now any outer field is represented by two objects - Item_field placed in the
outer select and Item_outer_ref in the subquery. Item_field object is
processed as a normal field and the reference to it is saved in the
ref_pointer_array. Thus the Item_outer_ref is always references the correct
field. The original field is substituted for a reference in the
Item_field::fix_outer_field() function.
New function called fix_inner_refs() is added to fix fields referenced from
inner selects and to fix references (Item_ref objects) to these fields.
The new Item_outer_ref class is a descendant of the Item_direct_ref class.
It additionally stores a reference to the original field and designed to
behave more like a field.
Having maybe_null flag unset for geometry/spatial functions leads to
wrong Item_func_isnull::val_int()'s results.
Fix: set maybe_null flag and add is_null() methods.
The cause of im_daemon_life_cycle.imtest random failures was the following
behaviour of some implementations of LINUX threads: let's suppose that a
process has several threads (in LINUX threads, there is a separate process for
each thread). When the main process gets killed, the parent receives SIGCHLD
before all threads (child processes) die. In other words, the parent receives
SIGCHLD, when its child is not completely dead.
In terms of IM, that means that IM-angel receives SIGCHLD when IM-main is not dead
and still holds some resources. After receiving SIGCHLD, IM-angel restarts
IM-main, but IM-main failed to initialize, because previous instance (copy) of
IM-main still holds server socket (TCP-port).
Another problem here was that IM-angel restarted IM-main only if it was killed
by signal. If it exited with error, IM-angel thought it's intended / graceful
shutdown and exited itself.
So, when the second instance of IM-main failed to initialize, IM-angel thought
it's intended shutdown and quit.
The fix is
1. to change IM-angel so that it restarts IM-main if it exited with error code;
2. to change IM-main so that it returns proper exit code in case of failure.
