The fix for Bug#49910 added a check on the size of > the underlying field so that this conversion is not done for > YEAR(4) values. (Since otherwise one would convert invalid > YEAR(4) values to valid ones.) > > The existing check does not work when Item_cache is used, since > it is not detected when the cache is based on a Field. The > reported change in behavior is due to Bug#58030 which added > extra cached items in min/max computations. > > The elegant solution would be to implement > Item_cache::real_item() to return the underlying Item. > However, some side effects are observed (change in explain > output) that indicates that such a change is not straight- > forward, and definitely not appropriate for an MRU. > > Instead, a Item_cache::field() method has been added in order > to get access to the underlying field. (This field() method > eliminates the need for Item_cache::eq_def() used in > test_if_ref(), but in order to limit the scope of this fix, > that code has been left as is.)
