SHOW FIELDS FROM a view with no valid definer was possible (since fix
for Bug#26817), but gave NULL as a field-type. This led to mysqldump-ing
of such views being successful, but loading such a dump with the client
failing. Patch allows SHOW FIELDS to give data-type of field in underlying
table.

Since, as of MySQL 5.0.15, CHAR() arguments larger than 255 are converted into multiple result bytes, a single CHAR() argument can now take up to 4 bytes. This patch fixes Item_func_char::fix_length_and_dec() to take this into account.
  
This patch also fixes a regression introduced by the patch for bug21513. As now we do not always have the 'name' member of Item set for Item_hex_string and Item_bin_string, an own print() method has been added to Item_hex_string so that it could correctly be printed by Item_func::print_args().

 No warning was generated when a TIMESTAMP with a non-zero time part
 was converted to a DATE value. This caused index lookup to assume
 that this is a valid conversion and was returning rows that match 
 a comparison between a TIMESTAMP value and a DATE keypart.
 Fixed by generating a warning on such a truncation.

The BIG_TABLES define wasn't enabled on Windows.
#define added

Buffer used when setting variables was not dimensioned to accomodate
trailing '\0'. An overflow by one character was therefore possible.
CS corrects limits to prevent such overflows.

We need to check if the SHOW TABLE STATUS query we issue inside the
FEDERATED engine returned the result with the proper (or just sufficient)
number of rows. Otherwise statements like row[12] can crash the server.

Bug#30982 CHAR(..USING..) can return a not-well-formed string
Bug#30986 Character set introducer followed by a HEX string can return bad result
check_well_formed_result moved to Item from Item_str_func
fixed Item_func_char::val_str for proper ucs symbols converting
added check for well formed strings for correct conversion of constants with underscore
charset

The special case with NULL as a regular expression
was handled at prepare time. But in this special case
the item was not marked as fixed. This caused an assertion
at execution time.
Fixed my marking the item as fixed even when known to 
return NULL at prepare time.

                  precision > 0 && scale <= precision'.

A sign of a resulting item of the IFNULL function was not
updated and the maximal length of this result was calculated
improperly. Correct algorithm was copy&pasted from the IF
function implementation.

Even though it returns NULL, the MAKETIME function did not have this property set,
causing a failed assertion (designed to catch exactly this).
Fixed by setting the nullability property of MAKETIME().

Completion of previous patch. Negative number were denied

  Item_sum_distinct::setup(THD*): Assertion

There was an assertion to detect a bug in ROLLUP
implementation. However the assertion is not true
when used in a subquery context with non-cacheable
statements.
Fixed by turning the assertion to accepted case
(just like it's done for the other aggregate functions). 

when a divisor is less than 1 and its fractional part is very long.
For example:
1 % .123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789;

Stack buffer overflow has been fixed in the do_div_mod function.
