The RAND(N) function where the N is a field of "constant" table
(table of single row) failed with a SIGFPE.
Evaluation of RAND(N) rely on constant status of its argument.
Current server "seeded" random value for each constant argument
only once, in the Item_func_rand::fix_fields method.
Then the server skipped a call to seed_random() in the
Item_func_rand::val_real method for such constant arguments.
However, non-constant state of an argument may be changed
after the call to fix_fields, if an argument is a field of
"constant" table. Thus, pre-initialization of random value
in the fix_fields method is too early.
Initialization of random value by seed_random() has been
removed from Item_func_rand::fix_fields method.
The Item_func_rand::val_real method has been modified to
call seed_random() on the first evaluation of this method
if an argument is a function.
Problem: storing "SELECT ... INTO @var ..." results in variables we used val_xxx()
methods which returned results of the current row.
So, in some cases (e.g. SELECT DISTINCT, GROUP BY or HAVING) we got data
from the first row of a new group (where we evaluate a clause) instead of
data from the last row of the previous group.
Fix: use val_xxx_result() counterparts to get proper results.
When the thread executing a DDL was killed after finished its
execution but before writing the binlog event, the error code in
the binlog event could be set wrongly to ER_SERVER_SHUTDOWN or
ER_QUERY_INTERRUPTED.
This patch fixed the problem by ignoring the kill status when
constructing the event for DDL statements.
This patch also included the following changes in order to
provide the test case.
1) modified mysqltest to support variable for connection command
2) modified mysql-test-run.pl, add new variable MYSQL_SLAVE to
run mysql client against the slave mysqld.

- Remove bothersome warning messages. This change focuses on the warnings
that are covered by the ignore file: support-files/compiler_warnings.supp.
- Strings are guaranteed to be max uint in length
MATCH() function accepts column list as an argument. It was possible to override
this requirement with aliased non-column select expression. Which results in
server crash.
With this fix aliased non-column select expressions are not accepted by MATCH()
function, returning an error.

Interchangeable calls to the mysql_change_user client function
and invocations of a trigger changing some user variable caused
a memory corruption and a crash.
The mysql_change_user API call forces TDH::cleanup() on a server
that frees user variable entries.
However it didn't reset Item_func_set_user_var::entry to NULL
because Item_func_set_user_var::cleanup() was not overloaded.
So, Item_func_set_user_var::entry held a pointer to freed memory,
that caused a crash.
The Item_func_set_user_var::cleanup method has been overloaded
to cleanup the Item_func_set_user_var::entry field.
We pretended that TIMEDIFF() would always return positive results;
this gave strange results in comparisons of the TIMEDIFF(low,hi)<TIME(0)
type that rendered a negative result, but still gave false in comparison.
We also inadvertantly dropped the sign when converting times to
decimal.
CAST(time AS DECIMAL) handles signs of the times correctly.
TIMEDIFF() marked up as signed. Time/date comparison code switched to
signed for clarity.
Several system variables did not behave like system variables should do.
When trying to SET them or use them in SELECT, they were reported as
"unknown system variable". But they appeared in SHOW VARIABLES.
This has been fixed by removing the "fixed_vars" array of variables
and integrating the variables into the normal system variables chain.
All of these variables do now behave as read-only global-only
variables. Trying to SET them tells they are read-only, trying to
SELECT the session value tells they are global only. Selecting the
global value works. It delivers the same value as SHOW VARIABLES.
variable settings (rpl_sys)
Problem: under certain conditions (e.g. user variables usage in triggers)
accessing a user defined variable we may use a variables hash table that
belongs to already deleted thread. It happens if
thd= new THD;
has the same address as just deleted thd as we use
if (stored_thd == thd)
to check.
That may lead to unpredictable results, server crash etc.
Fix: use thread_id instead of thd address to distinguish threads.
Note: no simple and repeatable test case.
Item_func_div didn't calculate the precision of the result properly.
The result of 5/0.0001 is 5000 so we have to add decimals of the divisor
to the planned precision.

With fix for bug 25951 index hints are ignored for fulltext
searches, as handling of fulltext indexes is different from
handling regular indexes. Meaning it is not possible to
implement true index hints support for fulltext indexes within
the scope of current fulltext architecture.
The problem is that prior to fix for bug 25951, some useful
index hints still could be given for boolean mode searches.
This patch implements special index hints support for fulltext
indexes with the following characteristics:
- all index hints are still ignored for NLQ mode searches -
it cannot work without an index;
- for 5.1 and up index hints FOR ORDER BY and FOR GROUP BY are
still ignored for fulltext indexes;
- boolean mode searches honor USE/FORCE/IGNORE INDEX hints;
- as opposed to index hints for regular indexes, index hints
for fulltext BOOLEAN mode searches affect the usage of the
index for the whole query.
IS NULL was not checking the correct row in a HAVING context.
At the first row of a new group (where the HAVING clause is evaluated)
the column and SELECT list references in the HAVING clause should
refer to the last row of the previous group and not to the current one.
This was not done for IS NULL, because it was using Item::is_null() doesn't
have a Item_is_null_result() counterpart to access the data from the
last row of the previous group. Note that all the Item::val_xxx() functions
(e.g. Item::val_int()) have their _result counterparts (e.g. Item::val_int_result()).
Fixed by implementing a is_null_result() (similarly to int_result()) and
calling this instead of is_null() column and SELECT list references inside
the HAVING clause.
Fixed the handling of system variable retrieval
in prepared statements : added a cleanup method
that clears up the cache and restores the
original scope of the variable (which is overwritten
at fix_fields()).
The code to get read the value of a system variable was extracting its value
on PREPARE stage and was substituting the value (as a constant) into the parse tree.
Note that this must be a reversible transformation, i.e. it must be reversed before
each re-execution.
Unfortunately this cannot be reliably done using the current code, because there are
other non-reversible source tree transformations that can interfere with this
reversible transformation.
Fixed by not resolving the value at PREPARE, but at EXECUTE (as the rest of the
functions operate). Added a cache of the value (so that it's constant throughout
the execution of the query). Note that the cache also caches NULL values.
Updated an obsolete related test suite (variables-big) and the code to test the
result type of system variables (as per bug 74).
columns data types
The "SELECT @lastId, @lastId := Id FROM t" query returns
different result sets depending on the type of the Id column
(INT or BIGINT).
Note: this fix doesn't cover the case when a select query
references an user variable and stored function that
updates a value of that variable, in this case a result
is indeterminate.
The server uses incorrect assumption about a constantness of
an user variable value as a select list item:
The server caches a last query number where that variable
was changed and compares this number with a current query
number. If these numbers are different, the server guesses,
that the variable is not updating in the current query, so
a respective select list item is a constant. However, in some
common cases the server updates cached query number too late.
The server has been modified to memorize user variable
assignments during the parse phase to take them into account
on the next (query preparation) phase independently of the
order of user variable references/assignments in a select
item list.
min() and max() functions are implemented in MySQL as macros.
This means that max(a,b) is expanded to: ((a) > (b) ? (a) : (b))
Note how 'a' is quoted two times.
Now imagine 'a' is a recursive function call that's several 10s of levels deep.
And the recursive function does max() with a function arg as well to dive into
recursion.
This means that simple function call can take most of the clock time.
Identified and fixed several such calls to max()/min() : including the IF()
sql function implementation.
