INTERVALS
ISSUE:
------
Some string functions return one or a combination of the
parameters as their result. Here the resultant string's
charset could be incorrectly set to that of the chosen
parameter.
This results in incorrect behavior when an ascii string is
expected.
SOLUTION:
---------
Since an ascii string is expected, val_str_ascii should
explicitly convert the string.
Part of the fix is a backport of Bug#22340858 for mysql-5.5
and mysql-5.6.
1. unused static inline functions are only removed at -xO4,
otherwise test binaries will depend on various mysys
symbols that they don't use. Link test with libmysys.
2. Sphinx - don't instantiate (explicitly) templates before
they're defined. Or, rather, don't instantiate them explicitly at
all.
3. GIS - don't use anonymous unions and structs.
When the distance in ST_BUFFER is too far negative the coordinates can run out of the operational
area. We should just return an empty geometry in this case.
The result is EMPTY for a buffer(line, -1), but we still
need one FALSE operation to be stored in the condition.
And we actually add it but forgot to alloc memory to store it.
Other fix of maybe_null problem and revert of revno: 3608 "MDEV-3873 & MDEV-3876 & MDEV-3912 : Wrong result (extra rows) with ALL subquery from a MERGE view."
from a MERGE view.
The problem was in the lost ability to be null for the table of a left join if it
is a view/derived table.
It hapenned because setup_table_map(), was called earlier then we merged
the view or derived.
Fixed by propagating new maybe_null flag during Item::update_used_tables().
Change in join_outer.test and join_outer_jcl6.test appeared because
IS NULL reported no used tables (i.e. constant) for argument which could not be
NULL and new maybe_null flag was propagated for IS NULL argument (Item_field)
because table the Item_field belonged to changed its maybe_null status.
Autointersections of an object were treated as nodes, so the wrong result.

Skip intersection points when calculate distance.
Points and lines should disappear if we got negative D.
To make it work properly inside the GEOMETRYCOLLECTION,
we add the empty operation there.
bug #986977 Assertion `!cur_p->event' failed in Gcalc_scan_iterator::arrange_event(int, int).
The double->inernal coord conversion produced -0 (minus zero) on some data.
That minus-zero produces invalid comparison results when compared agains plus-zero.
So we fixed the gcalc_set_double() to avoid it.

Collections were treated mistakenly, so the counter for the final UNION operation
received the wrong value.
As a fix we implement Item_func_buffer::Transporter::start_collection() method,
where we set the proper operation and the operand counter.
start_poly() and start_line() were also modified to function correctly for the
polygon as a part of a collection.

Fixing tests
@ sql/field.cc
- Return str result using my_charset_numeric.
- Using real multi-byte aware str_to_XXX functions
to handle tricky charset values propely (e.g. UCS2)
@ sql/field.h
- Changing derivation of non-string field types to DERIVATION_NUMERIC.
- Changing binary() for numeric/datetime fields to always
return TRUE even if charset is not my_charset_bin. We need
this to keep ha_base_keytype() return HA_KEYTYPE_BINARY.
- Adding BINARY_FLAG into some fields, because it's not
being set automatically anymore with
"my_charset_bin to my_charset_numeric" change.
- Changing derivation for numeric/datetime datatypes to a weaker
value, to make "SELECT concat('string', field)" use character
set of the string literal for the result of the function.
@ sql/item.cc
- Implementing generic val_str_ascii().
- Using max_char_length() instead of direct read of max_length
to make "tricky" charsets like UCS2 work.
NOTE: in the future we'll possibly remove all direct reads of max_length
- Fixing Item_num::safe_charset_converter().
Previously it alligned binary string to
character string (for example by adding leading 0x00
when doing binary->UCS2 conversion). Now it just
converts from my_charset_numbner to "tocs".
- Using val_str_ascii() in Item::get_time() to make UCS2 arguments work.
- Other misc changes
@ sql/item.h
- Changing MY_COLL_CMP_CONV and MY_COLL_ALLOW_CONV to
bit operations instead of hard-coded bit masks.
- Addding new method DTCollation.set_numeric().
- Adding new methods to Item.
- Adding helper functions to make code look nicer:
agg_item_charsets_for_string_result()
agg_item_charsets_for_comparison()
- Changing charset for Item_num-derived items
from my_charset_bin to my_charset_numeric
(which is an alias for latin1).
@ sql/item_cmpfunc.cc
- Using new helper functions
- Other misc changes
@ sql/item_cmpfunc.h

@ sql/item_func.cc

- Adding set_numeric() into constructors of numeric items.
- Using fix_length_and_charset() and fix_char_length()
instead of direct write to max_length.
@ sql/item_geofunc.cc

Item_func_as_wkt from Item_str_func to
Item_str_ascii_func, to make them return UCS2 result
properly (when character_set_connection=ucs2).
@ sql/item_geofunc.h

to make them work with UCS2 properly.
- Using new helper functions
- All single-argument functions that expect string
result now call this method:
agg_arg_charsets_for_string_result(collation, args, 1);
This enables character set conversion to @@character_set_connection
in case of pure numeric input.
@ sql/item_strfunc.h
- Introducing Item_str_ascii_func - for functions

- Using tricky-charset aware function str_to_time_with_warn()
@ sql/item_timefunc.h

- Adding prototypes for str_set_decimal()
- Adding prototypes for character-set aware str_to_xxx() functions.
@ sql/protocol.cc
- Changing charsetnr to "binary" client-side metadata for
numeric/datetime data types.
@ sql/time.cc
- Adding to_ascii() helper function, to convert a string
in any character set to ascii representation. In the
future can be extended to understand digits written
in various non-Latin word scripts.
- Adding real multy-byte character set aware versions for str_to_XXXX,
to make these these type of queries work correct:
