Rename cloning methods of class Item and its descendants
in the following way:
(from) (to)
do_build_clone -> deep_copy
build_clone -> deep_copy_with_checks
do_get_copy -> shallow_copy
get_copy -> shallow_copy_with_checks
to better reflect their functionality.
Also make Item::deep_copy() and shallow_copy() protected.
Outside users should call deep_copy_with_checks()
and shallow_copy_with_checks().

Fixed sprintf deprecation warnings compiling on MacOSX.
Replaced some sprintf calls with equivalent snprintf calls,
enough so that "normal" compile on MacOSX (as documented
in the docs) completes without warnings.
Nullability is decided in two stages-
1. Based on argument NULL-ness
Problem:
- COALESCE currently uses a generic logic- "Result of a function
is nullable if any of the arguments is nullable", which is wrong.
- IFNULL sets nullability using second argument alone, which incorrectly
sets the result to NULL even when first argument is not null.
Fix:
- Result of COALESCE and IFNULL is set to NULL only if all arguments are
NULL.
2. Based on type conversion safety of fallback value
Problem:
- The generic `Item_hybrid_func_fix_attributes` logic would mark the
function's result as nullable if any argument involved a type
conversion that could yield NULL.
Fix:
- For COALESCE and IFNULL, nullability is set to NOT NULL if the first
non-null argument can be safely converted to function's target return
type.
- For other functions, if any argument's conversion to target type could
result in NULL, the function is marked nullable.
Tests included in `mysql-test/main/func_hybrid_type.test`
Disallow range optimization for BETWEEN when casting one of the arguments
from STRING to a numeric type would be required to construct a range for
the query.
Adds a new method on Item_func_between called can_optimize_range_const
which allows range optimization when the types of the arguments to BETWEEN
would permit it.
The problem is that copy function was used in field list but never
copied in this execution path.
So copy should be performed before returning result.
Protection against uninitialized copy usage added.
normalize_cond() translated `WHERE col` into `WHERE col<>0`
But the opetator "not equal to 0" does not necessarily exists
for all data types.
For example, the query:
SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE inet6col;
was translated to:
SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE inet6col<>0;
which further failed with this error:
ERROR : Illegal parameter data types inet6 and bigint for operation '<>'
This patch changes the translation from `col<>0` to `col IS TRUE`.
So now
SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE inet6col;
gets translated to:
SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE inet6col IS TRUE;
Details:
1. Implementing methods:
- Field_longstr::val_bool()
- Field_string::val_bool()
- Item::val_int_from_val_str()
If the input contains bad data,
these methods raise a better error message:
Truncated incorrect BOOLEAN value
Before the change, the error was:
Truncated incorrect DOUBLE value
2. Fixing normalize_cond() to generate Item_func_istrue/Item_func_isfalse
instances instead of Item_func_ne/Item_func_eq
3. Making Item_func_truth sargable, so it uses the range optimizer.
Implementing the following methods:
- get_mm_tree(), get_mm_leaf(), add_key_fields() in Item_func_truth.
- get_func_mm_tree(), for all Item_func_truth descendants.
4. Implementing the method negated_item() for all Item_func_truth
descendants, so the negated item has a chance to be sargable:
For example,
WHERE NOT col IS NOT FALSE -- this notation is not sargable
is now translated to:
WHERE col IS FALSE -- this notation is sargable
When binding to NULL, DEFAULT or IGNORE from an Item value, Item_param did not
change m_type_handler, so its value remained from the previous bind.
Thid led to DBUG_ASSERTs in Item_param::get_date() and
Timestamp_or_zero_datetime_native_null.
Fix:
Set Item_param::m_type_handler to &type_handler_null when
binding from an Item returning NULL.
This patch also fixes MDEV-35427.
Partial commit of the greater MDEV-34348 scope.
MDEV-34348: MariaDB is violating clang-16 -Wcast-function-type-strict
The functions queue_compare, qsort2_cmp, and qsort_cmp2
all had similar interfaces, and were used interchangable
and unsafely cast to one another.
This patch consolidates the functions all into the
qsort_cmp2 interface.

Search conditions were evaluated using val_int(), which was wrong.
Fixing the code to use val_bool() instead.
Details:
- Adding a new item_base_t::IS_COND flag which marks Items used
as <search condition> in WHERE, HAVING, JOIN ON, CASE WHEN clauses.
The flag is at the parse time.
These expressions must be evaluated using val_bool() rather than val_int().
Note, the optimizer creates more Items which are used as search conditions.
Most of these items are not marked with IS_COND yet. This is OK for now,
but eventually these Items can also be fixed to have the flag.
- Adding a method Item::is_cond() which tests if the Item has the IS_COND flag.
- Implementing Item_cache_bool. It evaluates the cached expression using
val_bool() rather than val_int().
Overriding Type_handler_bool::Item_get_cache() to create Item_cache_bool.
- Implementing Item::save_bool_in_field(). It uses val_bool() rather than
val_int() to evaluate the expression.
- Implementing Type_handler_bool::Item_save_in_field()
using Item::save_bool_in_field().
- Fixing all Item_bool_func descendants to implement a virtual val_bool()
rather than a virtual val_int().
- To find places where val_int() should be fixed to val_bool(), a few
DBUG_ASSERT(!is_cond()) where added into val_int() implementations
of selected (most frequent) classes:
Item_field
Item_str_func
Item_datefunc
Item_timefunc
Item_datetimefunc
Item_cache_bool
Item_bool_func
Item_func_hybrid_field_type
Item_basic_constant descendants
- Fixing all places where DBUG_ASSERT() happened during an "mtr" run
to use val_bool() instead of val_int().
Updated tests: cases with bugs or which cannot be run
with the cursor-protocol were excluded with
"--disable_cursor_protocol"/"--enable_cursor_protocol"
Fix for v.10.5
The `Item` class methods `get_copy()`, `build_clone()`, and `clone_item()`
face an issue where they may be defined in a descendant class
(e.g., `Item_func`) but not in a further descendant (e.g., `Item_func_child`).
This can lead to scenarios where `build_clone()`, when operating on an
instance of `Item_func_child` with a pointer to the base class (`Item`),
returns an instance of `Item_func` instead of `Item_func_child`.
Since this limitation cannot be resolved at compile time, this commit
introduces runtime type checks for the copy/clone operations.
A debug assertion will now trigger in case of a type mismatch.
`get_copy()`, `build_clone()`, and `clone_item()` are no more virtual,
but virtual `do_get_copy()`, `do_build_clone()`, and `do_clone_item()`
are added to the protected section of the class `Item`.
Additionally, const qualifiers have been added to certain methods
to enhance code reliability.
