Bug #50096: CONCAT_WS inside procedure returning wrong data
Selecting of the CONCAT_WS(...<PS parameter>...) result into a user variable may return wrong data. Item_func_concat_ws::val_str contains a number of memory allocation-saving optimization tricks. After the fix for bug 46815 the control flow has been changed to a branch that is commented as "This is quite uncommon!": one of places where we are trying to concatenate strings inplace. However, that "uncommon" place didn't care about PS parameters, that have another trick in Item_sp_variable::val_str(): they use the intermediate Item_sp_variable::str_value field, where they may store a reference to an external argument's buffer. The Item_func_concat_ws::val_str function has been modified to take into account val_str functions (such as Item_sp_variable::val_str) that return a pointer to an internal Item member variable that may reference to a buffer provided.
