Bug #40761: Assert on sum function on
IF(..., CAST(longtext AS UNSIGNED), signed_val) (was: LEFT JOIN on inline view crashes server) Select from a LONGTEXT column wrapped with an expression like "IF(..., CAST(longtext_column AS UNSIGNED), smth_signed)" failed an assertion or crashed the server. IFNULL function was affected too. LONGTEXT column item has a maximum length of 32^2-1 bytes, at the same time this is a maximum possible length of any MySQL item. CAST(longtext_column AS UNSIGNED) returns some unsigned numeric result of length 32^2-1, so the result of IF/IFNULL function of this number and some other signed number will have text length of (32^2-1)+1=32^2 (one byte for the minus sign) - there is integer overflow, and the length is equal to zero. That caused assert/crash. The bug has been fixed by the same solution as in the CASE function implementation.
