to string conversions and vice versa"
Initial import of the dtoa.c code and custom wrappers around it
to allow its usage from the server code.
Conversion of FLOAT/DOUBLE values to DECIMAL ones or strings
and vice versa has been significantly reworked. As the new
algoritms are more precise than the older ones, results of such
conversions may not always match those obtained from older
server versions. This in turn may break compatibility for some
applications.
This patch also fixes the following bugs:
- bug #12860 "Difference in zero padding of exponent between
Unix and Windows"
- bug #21497 "DOUBLE truncated to unusable value"
- bug #26788 "mysqld (debug) aborts when inserting specific
numbers into char fields"
- bug #24541 "Data truncated..." on decimal type columns
without any good reason"
bug#44766: valgrind error when using convert() in a subquery
Problem: input and output buffers may be the same
converting a string to some charset.
That may lead to wrong results/valgrind warnings.
Fix: use different buffers.
HOUR(), MINUTE(), ... returned spurious results when used on a DATE-cast.
This happened because DATE-cast object did not overload get_time() method
in superclass Item. The default method was inappropriate here and
misinterpreted the data.
Patch adds missing method; get_time() on DATE-casts now returns SQL-NULL
on NULL input, 0 otherwise. This coincides with the way DATE-columns
behave.
The Item_date_typecast::val_int function doesn't reset null_value flag.
This makes all values that follows the first null value to be treated as nulls
and led to a wrong result.
Now the Item_date_typecast::val_int function correctly sets the null_value flag
for both null and non-null values.
The generic string to int conversion was used by the Item_func_signed and
the Item_func_unsigned classes to convert DATE/DATETIME values to the
SIGNED/UNSIGNED type. But this conversion produces wrong results for such
values.
Now if the item which result has to be converted can return its result as
longlong then the item->val_int() method is used to allow the item to carry
out the conversion itself and return the correct result.
This condition is checked in the Item_func_signed::val_int() and the
Item_func_unsigned::val_int() functions.
- Make the range-et-al optimizer produce E(#table records after table
condition is applied),
- Make the join optimizer use this value,
- Add "filtered" column to EXPLAIN EXTENDED to show
fraction of records left after table condition is applied
- Adjust test results, add comments
Problem: cast to unsigned limited result to
max signed bigint 9223372036854775808,
instead of max unsigned bigint 18446744073709551615.
Fix: don't use args[0]->val_int() when casting from
a floating point number, use val() instead, with range checkings,
special to unsigned data type.
item_func.cc:
Special handling of cast from REAL_RESULT
to unsigned int: we cannot execute args[0]->val_int()
because it cuts max allowed value to LONGLONG_INT,
instead of ULONGLONG_INT required.

Getting rid of "Data truncated; out of range ..." warnings.

Adding test case.
ps.result:
Fixing that cast from 6570515219.6535
to unsigned didn't round to 6570515220,
and returned 6570515219 instead.
field.cc:
Adding longlong range checking to return
LONGLONG_MIN or LONGLONG_MAX when out of range.
Using (longlong) cast only when range is ok.

Produce warnings of wrong cast of strings to signed/unsigned.
Don't block not resolved IP's if DNS server is down (Bug #8467)
Fix compiler problems with MinGW (Bug #8872)
CAST() now produces warnings when casting a wrong INTEGER or CHAR values. This also applies to implicite string to number casts. (Bug #5912)
ALTER TABLE now fails in STRICT mode if it generates warnings.
Inserting a zero date in a DATE, DATETIME or TIMESTAMP column during TRADITIONAL mode now produces an error. (Bug #5933)
