Problem: After introducing of LC_TIME_NAMES variable, the
function date_format() can return international non-ascii
characters in month and weekday names. Thus, it cannot return
a binary string anymore, because inserting a result of date_format()
into a column with non-utf8 character set produces garbage.
Fix: date_format() now returns a character string, using
"collation_connection" to detect character set and collation
for the returned value. This allows to insert
results of date_format() properly into columns with
various character sets.
Fixed some possible fatal wrong arguments to printf() style functions
Initialized some not initialized variables
Fixed bug in stored procedure and continue handlers

The fix for another Bug (6439) limited FROM_UNIXTIME() to
TIMESTAMP_MAX_VALUE which is 2145916799 or 2037-12-01 23:59:59 GMT,
however unix timestamp in general is not considered to be limited
by this value. All dates up to power(2,31)-1 are valid.
This patch extends allowed TIMESTAMP range so, that max
TIMESTAMP value is power(2,31)-1. It also corrects
FROM_UNIXTIME() and UNIX_TIMESTAMP() functions, so that
max allowed UNIX_TIMESTAMP() is power(2,31)-1. FROM_UNIXTIME()
is fixed accordingly to allow conversion of dates up to
2038-01-19 03:14:07 UTC. The patch also fixes CONVERT_TZ()
function to allow extended range of dates.
The main problem solved in the patch is possible overflows
of variables, used in broken-time representation to time_t
conversion (required for UNIX_TIMESTAMP).
From the manual:
date arithmetic operations require complete dates and do not work with
incomplete dates such as '2006-07-00' or badly malformed dates.
- bug #11655 "Wrong time is returning from nested selects - maximum time exists
- input and output TIME values were not validated properly in several conversion functions
- bug #20927 "sec_to_time treats big unsigned as signed"
- integer overflows were not checked in several functions. As a result, input values like 2^32 or 3600*2^32 were treated as 0
- BIGINT UNSIGNED values were treated as SIGNED in several functions
- in cases where both input string truncation and out-of-range TIME value occur, only 'truncated incorrect time value' warning was produced
- Type casting was not consequent, thus when adding a DATE type with
a WEEK interval the result type was DATETIME and not DATE as is the
norm.
- By changing the order of the date internal enumerations the deviant
type casting is resolved (Item_date_add_interval::fix_length_and_dec()
which determines result type for this operation assumes that addition
of any interval with value <= INTERVAL_DAY to date value will result
in date). There are two independant places to change:
interval_names[] and interval_type.
- The definition of the result type of a type_date function didn't
include INTERVAL_WEEK
- This patch adds an explicit test for INTERVAL_WEEK which results
in the result type for an item_date_add_intervall operation
being DATE rather than DATETIME when one parameter is
INTERVAL_WEEK.
Fix when __attribute__() is stubbed out, add ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT() for specifying
__attribute__((format(...))) safely, make more use of the format attribute,
and fix some of the warnings that this turns up (plus a bonus unrelated one).
time_format() claimed %H and %k would return at most two digits
(hours 0-23), but this coincided neither with actual behaviour
nor with docs. this is not visible in simple queries; forcing
a temp-table is probably the easiest way to see this. adjusted
the return-length appropriately; the alternative would be to
adjust the docs to say that behaviour for > 99 hours is undefined.

str_to_date() would sometimes render NULL if %D was used as rule other than last.
since this was due to two pointers getting mixed up in the server, this behaviour
seemed somewhat non-deterministic at SQL level.
difference between timestamp in values of months and quarters.)
Problem: when requesting timestamp diff in months or quarters, it
would only examine the date (and not the time) for the comparison.
Solution: increased precision of comparison.
