Alexander Barkov c5d8b9963a MDEV-36716 A case expression with ROW arguments in THEN crashes
The patch for SYS_REFCURSOR (MDEV-20034) overrode these methods:
- Item_func_case_searched::check_arguments()
- Item_func_if::check_arguments()

to validate WHEN-style arguments (e.g. args[0] in case of IF) for being
able to return a boolean result.

However, this unintentionally removed the test for the THEN-style arguments
that they are not expressions of the ROW data type.

This led to a crash inside Type_handler_hybrid_field_type::aggregate_for_result
on a DBUG_ASSERT that arguments are not of the ROW data type.

Fix:

The fix restores blocking ROW expressions in the not supported cases,
to avoid the DBUG_ASSERT and to raise an SQL error instead.

Blocking ROW_RESULT expressions is done per Item_func_case_expression
descendant individually, instead of blocking any ROW_RESULT arguments
at the Item_func_case_expression level.

The fix is done taking into account the upcoming patch for associative arrays
(MDEV-34319). It should be possible to pass associative array expressions into
some hybrid type functions, where ROW type expressions are not possible.

As a side effect, some lecagy ER_OPERAND_COLUMNS changed to
a newer ER_ILLEGAL_PARAMETER_DATA_TYPE_FOR_OPERATION

Changes in the top affected class Item_func_case_expression:

- item_func.h:
  Overriding Item_func_case_expression::check_arguments() to return false,
  without checking any arguments. Descendant validate arguments
  in a various different ways. No needs to block all non-scalar data type at
  this level, to prevent disallowing associative arrays.

Changes in descendants:

- item_cmpfunc.cc:
  Adding a test in Item_func_case_simple::aggregate_switch_and_when_arguments()
  preventing passing ROW_RESULT expression in predicant and WHEN in a
  simple CASE:
    CASE predicant WHEN when1 THEN .. WHEN when2 THEN .. END;
  This is not supported yet. Should be preferrably fixed before MDEV-34319.

- item_cmpfunc.cc:
  Calling args[0]->type_handler()->Item_hybrid_func_fix_attributes()
  from Item_func_nullif::fix_length_and_dec().
  This prevents a ROW expression to be passed to args[0] of NULLIF().
  But will allow to pass associative arrays.

  args[1] is still only checked to be comparable with args[0].
  No needs to add additional tests for it.

- item_cmpfunc.h:
  Adding a call for Item_hybrid_func_fix_attributes() in
  Item_func_case_abbreviation2::cache_type_info().
  This prevents calling the descendant functions with
  a ROW expression in combination with an explicit NULL
  in the THEN-style arguments (but will allow to pass associative arrays):

    IFNULL(row_expression, NULL)
    IFNULL(NULL, row_expression)
    IF(switch, row_expression, NULL)
    IF(switch, NULL, row_expression)
    NVL2(switch, row_expression, NULL)
    NVL2(switch, NULL, row_expression)
  Adding a THD* argument into involved methods.

- item_cmpfunc.h:
  Overriding Item_func_case_abbreviation2_switch::check_arguments() to
  check that the first argument in IF() and NVL2() can return bool.
  Removing Item_func_if::check_arguments(), as it become redundant.

- sql_type.cc:
  Fixing sql_type.cc not to disallow items[0] with ROW_RESULT.
  This makes it call Item_hybrid_func_fix_attributes() at the end,
  which block ROW arguments into THEN-style arguments of hybrid functions.
  But this will allow to pass Type_handler_assoc_array expressions.

- sql_type.cc:
  Changing Type_handler_row::Item_hybrid_func_fix_attributes to raise the
  ER_ILLEGAL_PARAMETER_DATA_TYPE_FOR_OPERATION error instead of the DBUG_ASSERT.

This directory contains test suites for the MariaDB server. To run
currently existing test cases, execute ./mysql-test-run in this directory.

Some tests are known to fail on some platforms or be otherwise unreliable.
In the file collections/smoke_test there is a list of tests that are
expected to be stable.

In general you do not have to do "make install", and you can have
a co-existing MariaDB installation, the tests will not conflict with it.
To run the tests in a source directory, you must do "make" first.

In Red Hat distributions, you should run the script as user "mysql".
The user is created with nologin shell, so the best bet is something like
  # su -
  # cd /usr/share/mariadb-test
  # su -s /bin/bash mysql -c ./mysql-test-run

This will use the installed MariaDB executables, but will run a private
copy of the server process (using data files within /usr/share/mariadb-test),
so you need not start the mysqld service beforehand.

You can omit --skip-test-list option if you want to check whether
the listed failures occur for you.

To clean up afterwards, remove the created "var" subdirectory, e.g.
  # su -s /bin/bash - mysql -c "rm -rf /usr/share/mariadb-test/var"

If tests fail on your system, please read the following manual section
for instructions on how to report the problem:

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/reporting-bugs

If you want to use an already running MySQL server for specific tests,
use the --extern option to mysql-test-run. Please note that in this mode,
you are expected to provide names of the tests to run.

For example, here is the command to run the "alias" and "analyze" tests
with an external server:

  # mariadb-test-run --extern socket=/tmp/mysql.sock alias analyze

To match your setup, you might need to provide other relevant options.

With no test names on the command line, mysql-test-run will attempt
to execute the default set of tests, which will certainly fail, because
many tests cannot run with an external server (they need to control the
options with which the server is started, restart the server during
execution, etc.)

You can create your own test cases. To create a test case, create a new
file in the main subdirectory using a text editor. The file should have a .test
extension. For example:

  # xemacs t/test_case_name.test

In the file, put a set of SQL statements that create some tables,
load test data, and run some queries to manipulate it.

Your test should begin by dropping the tables you are going to create and
end by dropping them again. This ensures that you can run the test over
and over again.

If you are using mysqltest commands in your test case, you should create
the result file as follows:

  # mariadb-test-run --record test_case_name

  or

  # mariadb-test --record < t/test_case_name.test

If you only have a simple test case consisting of SQL statements and
comments, you can create the result file in one of the following ways:

  # mariadb-test-run --record test_case_name

  # mariadb test < t/test_case_name.test > r/test_case_name.result

  # mariadb-test --record --database test --result-file=r/test_case_name.result < t/test_case_name.test

When this is done, take a look at r/test_case_name.result.
If the result is incorrect, you have found a bug. In this case, you should
edit the test result to the correct results so that we can verify that
the bug is corrected in future releases.

If you want to submit your test case you can send it
to developers@lists.mariadb.org or attach it to a bug report on
http://mariadb.org/jira/.

If the test case is really big or if it contains 'not public' data,
then put your .test file and .result file(s) into a tar.gz archive,
add a README that explains the problem, ftp the archive to
ftp://ftp.mariadb.org/private and submit a report to
https://mariadb.org/jira about it.
