In order to be able to check if the set of the grouping fields in a
GROUP BY has changed (and thus to start a new group) the optimizer
caches the current values of these fields in a set of Cached_item
derived objects.
The Cached_item_str, used for caching varchar and TEXT columns,
is limited in length by the max_sort_length variable.
A String buffer to store the value with an alloced length of either
the max length of the string or the value of max_sort_length
(whichever is smaller) in Cached_item_str's constructor.
Then, at compare time the value of the string to compare to was
truncated to the alloced length of the string buffer inside
Cached_item_str.
This is all fine and valid, but only if you're not assigning
values near or equal to the alloced length of this buffer.
Because when assigning values like this the alloced length is
rounded up and as a result the next set of data will not match the
group buffer, thus leading to wrong results because of the changed
alloced_length.
Fixed by preserving the original maximum length in the
Cached_item_str's constructor and using this instead of the
alloced_length to limit the string to compare to.
Test case added.

The Cached_item_decimal::cmp() method wasn't checking for null pointer
returned from the val_decimal() of the item being cached.
This leads to server crash.
The Cached_item_decimal::cmp() method now check for null values.
Fixed bug #11412.
Reversed the patch of cs 1.1934 for the function
create_tmp_table. Modified the function to support
tem_ref objects created for view fields.
item_buff.cc:
Fixed bug #11412.
Modified implementation of new_Cached_item to support
cacheing of view fields.
item.h:
Fixed bug #11412.
Changed implementation of Item_ref::get_tmp_table_field and
added Item_ref::get_tmp_table_item to support Item_ref objects
created for view fields.
view.test, view.result:
Added a test case for bug #11412.
Added a test case for bug #11295.
item_buff.cc:
Fixed bug #11295.
This a correction for the patch of bug #11088 that takes into
account a possible NULL values of the BLOB column.
Fix for yaSSL link failures with Forte Developer 7, MIPSpro Compilers, Compaq C++.
These compilers have problem with implicit template instantiation in archives
(libyassl.a, libtaocrypt.a). Instantiate templates explicitly.
Fix for yaSSL link failure on powermacg5 (gcc 3.3). When -O3 is specified gcc inlines
__cxa_pure_virtual. This is wrong behavior, __cxa_pure_virtual must never be inlined.
Fixed bug #11088: a crash for queries with GROUP BY a BLOB column
+ COUNT(DISTINCT...) due to an attempt to allocate a too large
buffer for the BLOB field.
Now the size of the buffer is limited by max_sort_length.
group_by.test, group_by.result:
Added a test case for bug #11088.
