Analysis:
Build_equal_items_for_cond() rewrites the WHERE clause in such a way,
that it may merge the list join->cond_equal->current_level with the
list of child Items in an AND condition of the WHERE clause.
The place where this is done is:
static COND *build_equal_items_for_cond(THD *thd, COND *cond,
COND_EQUAL *inherited)
{
...
if (and_level)
{
args->concat(&eq_list);
args->concat((List<Item> *)&cond_equal.current_level);
}
...
}
As a result, later transformations on the WHERE clause may change the
structure of the list join->cond_equal->current_level without knowing this.
Specifically in this bug, Item_in_subselect::inject_in_to_exists_cond
creates a new AND of the old WHERE clause and the IN->EXISTS conditions.
It then calls fix_fields() for the new AND. Among other things, fix_fields
flattens all nested ANDs into one by merging the AND argument lists.
When there is a cond_equal for the JOIN, its list of Item_equal objects
is attached to the end of the original AND. When a lower-level AND is
merged into the top-level one, the argument list of the lower-level AND
is concatenated to the list of multiple equalities in the upper-level AND.
As a result, when substitute_for_best_equal_field processes the
multiple equalities, it turns out that the multiple equality list contains
the Items from the lower-level AND which were concatenated to the end of
the join->cond_equal->current_level list. This results in a crash because
this list must not contain any other Items except for the previously found
Item_equal ones.
Solution:
When performing IN->EXIST predicate injection, and the where clause is an
AND, detach the list of Item_equal objects before calling fix_fields on
the injected where clause.
After fix_fields is done, reattach back the multiple equalities list to
the end of the argument list of the new AND.
Split the tests for MWL#89 into two parts - one for bugs
(currently active), and one for functionality tets
(currently in progress, and thus disabled).
Disable the test for LP BUG#718593.
