On Intel x86 machines index selection by the MySQL query
optimizer could sometimes depend on the compiler version and
optimization flags used to build the server binary.
The problem was a result of a known issue with floating point
calculations on x86: since internal FPU precision (80 bit)
differs from precision used by programs (32-bit float or 64-bit
double), the result of calculating a complex expression may
depend on how FPU registers are allocated by the compiler and
whether intermediate values are spilled from FPU to memory. In
this particular case compiler versions and optimization flags
had an effect on cost calculation when choosing the best index
in best_access_path().
A possible solution to this problem which has already been
implemented in mysql-trunk is to limit FPU internal precision
to 64 bits. So the fix is a backport of the relevant code to
5.1 from mysql-trunk.
WHERE predicates containing references to empty tables in a
subquery were handled incorrectly by the optimizer when
executing EXPLAIN. As a result, the optimizer could try to
evaluate such predicates rather than just stop with
"Impossible WHERE noticed after reading const tables" as
it would do in a non-subquery case. This led to valgrind
errors and crashes.
Fixed the code checking the above condition so that subqueries
are not excluded and hence are handled in the same way as top
level SELECTs.
If an outer query is broken, a subquery might not even get set up.
EXPLAIN EXTENDED did not expect this and merrily tried to de-ref all
of the half-setup info.
We now catch this case and print as much as we have, as it doesn't cost us
anything (doesn't make regular execution slower).

The copy of the original arguments of a aggregate function was not
initialized until after fix_fields().
Sometimes (e.g. when there's an error processing the statement)
the print() can be called with no corresponding fix_fields() call.
Fixed by adding a check if the Item is fixed before using the arguments
copy.
The convert_constant_item function converts a constant to integer using
field for condition like 'field = a_constant'. In some cases the
convert_constant_item is called for a subquery when outer select is already
being executed, so convert_constant_item saves field's value to prevent its
corruption. For EXPLAIN and at the prepare phase field's value isn't
initialized yet, thus when convert_constant_item tries to restore saved
value it fails assertion.
Now the convert_constant_item doesn't save/restore field's value if it's
haven't been read yet. Outer constant values are always saved.

When creating temporary table that contains aggregate functions a
non-reversible source transformation was performed to redirect aggregate
function arguments towards temporary table columns.
This caused EXPLAIN EXTENDED to fail because it was trying to resolve
references to the (freed) temporary table.
Fixed by preserving the original aggregate function arguments and
using them (instead of the transformed ones) for EXPLAIN EXTENDED.

The problem was in incorrectly calculated length of the buffer used to
store a hexadecimal representation of an index map in
select_describe(). This could result in buffer overrun and stack
corruption under some circumstances.
Fixed by correcting the calculation.
away.
During optimization stage the WHERE conditions can be changed or even
be removed at all if they know for sure to be true of false. Thus they aren't
showed in the EXPLAIN EXTENDED which prints conditions after optimization.
Now if all elements of an Item_cond were removed this Item_cond is substituted
for an Item_int with the int value of the Item_cond.
If there were conditions that were totally optimized away then values of the
saved cond_value and having_value will be printed instead.
There were two distict bugs: parse error was returned for valid
statement and that error wasn't reported to the client.
The fix ensures that EXPLAIN SELECT..INTO is accepted by parser and any
other parse error will be reported to the client.
