Bug #46749: Segfault in add_key_fields() with outer subquery level
field references This error requires a combination of factors : 1. An "impossible where" in the outermost SELECT 2. An aggregate in the outermost SELECT 3. A correlated subquery with a WHERE clause that includes an outer field reference as a top level WHERE sargable predicate When JOIN::optimize detects an "impossible WHERE" it will bail out without doing the rest of the work and initializations. It will not call make_join_statistics() as well. And make_join_statistics fills in various structures for each table referenced. When processing the result of the "impossible WHERE" the query must send a single row of data if there are aggregate functions in it. In this case the server marks all the aggregates as having received no rows and calls the relevant Item::val_xxx() method on the SELECT list. However if this SELECT list happens to contain a correlated subquery this subquery is evaluated in a normal evaluation mode. And if this correlated subquery has a reference to a field from the outermost "impossible where" SELECT the add_key_fields will mistakenly consider the outer field reference as a "local" field reference when looking for sargable predicates. But since the SELECT where the outer field reference refers to is not completely initialized due to the "impossible WHERE" in this level we'll get a NULL pointer reference. Fixed by making a better condition for discovering if a field is "local" to the SELECT level being processed. It's not enough to look for OUTER_REF_TABLE_BIT in this case since for outer references to constant tables the Item_field::used_tables() will return 0 regardless of whether the field reference is from the local SELECT or not.
