In this bug, args[0] in an Item_func_find_in_set stored an
Item_func_weekday that was constant. In
Item_func_find_in_set::fix_length_and_dec(), args[0]->val_str()
was called. Later, when Item_func_find_in_set::val_int() was
called, args[0]->null_value was checked. However, the
Item_func_weekday in args[0] had now been replaced with an
Item_cache. No val_*() calls had been made to this Item_cache,
thus null_value was incorrectly 'true', resulting in missing
rows in the result set.
enum_value gets a value in fix_length_and_dec() iff args[0]
is both constant and non-null. It is therefore unnecessary
to check the null_value of args[0] in val_int().
An alternative fix would be to call args[0]->val_int() inside
Item_func_find_in_set::val_int(). This would ensure
args[0]->null_value was set correctly (always false in this case),
but that would have to be done for every record this const value
is checked against.
The assertion in String::copy was added in order to avoid
valgrind errors when the destination was the same as the source.
Eased restriction to allow for the case when str == NULL.
Lots of small fixes to multi-precision-math path
Give Note for '123.4e'
Added helper functions type 'val_string_from_real()
Don't give warnings for end space for string2decimal()
Changed storage of values for SP so that we can detect length of argument without strlen()
Changed interface for str2dec() so that we must supple the pointer to the last character in the buffer
