In main.index_merge_myisam we remove the test that was added in
commit a2d24def8c because
it duplicates the test case that was added in
commit 5af12e4635.
Detailed: changes:
1. Moving Field specific code into new methods on Field:
- Field *Field::create_tmp_field(...)
- virtual void init_for_tmp_table(...)
2. Removing virtual Item::create_tmp_field().
Adding instead a new virtual method Item::create_tmp_field_ex().
Note, a virtual create_tmp_field() still exists, but only for Item_sum.
This resembles 10.0 code structure. Perhaps create_tmp_field() should
be removed from Item_sum and Item_sum descendants should override
create_tmp_field_ex() directly. This can be done in a separate commit.
3. Adding helper classes Tmp_field_src and Tmp_field_param,
to make the API for Item::create_tmp_field_ex() smaller
and easier to extend in the future.
4. Decomposing the public function create_tmp_field() into
virtual implementations for Item and a number of its descendants:
- Item_basic_value
- Item_sp_variable
- Item_name_const
- Item_result_field
- Item_field
- Item_ref
- Item_type_holder
- Item_row
- Item_func_sp
- Item_func_user_var
- Item_sum
- Item_sum_field
- Item_proc
5. Adding DBUG_ASSERT-only virtual implementations for
Item types that should not appear in create_tmp_table_ex(),
for easier debugging:
- Item_nodeset_func
- Item_nodeset_to_const_comparator
- Item_null_result
- Item_copy
- Item_ident_for_show
- Item_user_var_as_out_param
6. Moving public function create_tmp_field_from_field()
as a method to Item_field.
7. Removing Item::set_result_field(). It's not needed any more.
8. Cleanup: Removing the enum value "EXPR_CACHE_ITEM",
as it's not used for a very long time.
