  to before the late NULLs filtering code.

If ROW item is a part of an expression that also has
aggregate function calls (COUNT/SUM/AVG...), a
"splitting" with an Item::split_sum_func2 function
is applied to that ROW item.
Current implementation of Item::split_sum_func2
replaces this Item_row with a newly created
Item_aggregate_ref reference to it.
Then the row cache tries to work with the
Item_aggregate_ref object as with the Item_row object:
row cache calls row-emulation methods such as cols and
element_index. Item_aggregate_ref (like it's parent
Item_ref) inherits dummy implementations of those
methods from the hierarchy root Item, and call to
them leads to failed assertions and wrong data
output.

Row-emulation virtual functions (cols, element_index, addr,
check_cols, null_inside and bring_value) of Item_ref have
been overloaded to forward calls to an underlying item
reference.

Was a double-free of the Unique member of Item_func_group_concat.
This was not causing a crash because the Unique is a descendent of
Sql_alloc.
Fixed to free the Unique only if it was allocated for the instance 
of Item_func_group_concat it was referenced from

There was no way to return an error from the client library
if no MYSQL connections was established.
So here i added variables to store that king of errors and
made functions like mysql_error(NULL) to return these.

While the manual mentions FRAC_SECOND only for the TIMESTAMPADD()
function, it was also possible to use FRAC_SECOND with DATE_ADD(),
DATE_SUB() and +/- INTERVAL.

Fixed the parser to match the manual, i.e. using FRAC_SECOND for 
anything other than TIMESTAMPADD()/TIMESTAMPDIFF() now produces a 
syntax error.

Additionally, the patch allows MICROSECOND to be used in TIMESTAMPADD/
TIMESTAMPDIFF and marks FRAC_SECOND as deprecated.

Under some circumstances a combination of aggregate functions and
GROUP BY in a SELECT query over a VIEW could lead to incorrect
calculation of the result type of the aggregate function. This in
turn could result in incorrect results, or assertion failures on debug
builds.

Fixed by changing the logic in Item_sum_hybrid::fix_fields() so that
the argument's item is dereferenced before calling its type() method.

The test case for the bug#31048 checks that there is no crash on stack
overrun. But due to different stack sizes on different platforms it failed
on some of them.

The new test case check that a query with at least 4 level subquery nesting
works without the stack overrun nesting and other levels of nesting doesn't
cause a crash.

Finding a routine should be a transparent operation as 
far as the binary log is concerned.
But it was influencing the binary log because of the TIMESTAMP
column in the proc table.

Fixed by preserving and restoring the time_zone usage flag when
searching for a stored routine in the proc table.

Problem is not about intervals and doesn't actually cause 'full table scan'.
We have an optimization for DISTINCT when we have
'DISTINCT field_from_first_join_table' we don't need to read all the
rows from the JOIN-ed table if we found one conforming row.
It stopped working in 5.0 as we return NESTED_LOOP_OK if we came upon
that case in the evaluate_join_record() and that doesn't break the
recordreading loop in sub_select().

Fixed by returning NESTED_LOOP_NO_MORE_ROWS in this case.

Zero fill is a field attribute only. So we can't always 
propagate  constants for zerofill fields : the values and 
expression results don't have that flag.

Fixed by converting the const value to a string and 
using that in const propagation when the context allows it. 
Disable const propagation for fields with ZEROFILL flag in
all the other cases.

                 for wildcard values.
The server ignored escape character before wildcards during
the calculation of priority values for sorting of a privilege
list. (Actually the server counted an escape character as an
ordinary wildcard like % or _). I.e. the table name template
with a wildcard character like 'tbl_1' had higher priority in
a privilege list than concrete table name without wildcards
like 'tbl\_1', and some privileges of 'tbl\_1' was hidden
by privileges for 'tbl_1'.

The get_sort function has been modified to ignore escaped
wildcards as usual.

                 type conversion.

Instead of copying of whole character string from a temporary
buffer, the server copied a short-living pointer to that string
into a long-living structure. That has been fixed.
