/*
  This enum is used to report information about monotonicity of function
  represented by Item* tree.
  Monotonicity is defined only for Item* trees that represent table
  partitioning expressions (i.e. have no subselects/user vars/PS parameters
  etc etc). An Item* tree is assumed to have the same monotonicity properties
  as its corresponding function F:

  [signed] longlong F(field1, field2, ...) {
    put values of field_i into table record buffer;
    return item->val_int(); 
  }

  NOTE
  At the moment function monotonicity is not well defined (and so may be
  incorrect) for Item trees with parameters/return types that are different
  from INT_RESULT, may be NULL, or are unsigned.
  It will be possible to address this issue once the related partitioning bugs
  (BUG#16002, BUG#15447, BUG#13436) are fixed.

  The NOT_NULL enums are used in TO_DAYS, since TO_DAYS('2001-00-00') returns
  NULL which puts those rows into the NULL partition, but
  '2000-12-31' < '2001-00-00' < '2001-01-01'. So special handling is needed
  for this (see Bug#20577).

    The result is usually equal to max_length, except for some numeric types.
    In case of the INT, FLOAT, DOUBLE data types Item::max_length and

    max_length is ignored for these numeric data types because the length limit

    not impose any data truncation. E.g. a column of the type INT(4) can

    DESCRIPTION
      This function is defined only for unary monotonic functions. The caller

      The value of const is supplied implicitly as the value this item's

      passing back F(const) as the return value, and the form of $CMP2$ 
      through the out parameter. NULL values are assumed to be comparable and
      be less than any non-NULL values.

    Return string representation of this item object.

    SYNOPSIS
      val_str()
      str   an allocated buffer this or any nested Item object can use to
            store return value of this method.

    NOTE
      The caller can modify the returned String, if it's not marked
      "const" (with the String::mark_as_const() method). That means that
      if the item returns its own internal buffer (e.g. tmp_value), it
      *must* be marked "const" [1]. So normally it's preferable to
      return the result value in the String, that was passed as an
      argument. But, for example, SUBSTR() returns a String that simply
      points into the buffer of SUBSTR()'s args[0]->val_str(). Such a
      String is always "const", so it's ok to use tmp_value for that and
      avoid reallocating/copying of the argument String.

      [1] consider SELECT CONCAT(f, ":", f) FROM (SELECT func() AS f);
      here the return value of f() is used twice in the top-level
      select, and if they share the same tmp_value buffer, modifying the
      first one will implicitly modify the second too.

    RETURN
      In case of NULL value return 0 (NULL pointer) and set null_value flag
      to TRUE.

  /*
    Returns string representation of this item in ASCII format.

    SYNOPSIS
      val_str_ascii()
      str - similar to val_str();

    NOTE
      This method is introduced for performance optimization purposes.

      1. val_str() result of some Items in string context
      depends on @@character_set_results.
      @@character_set_results can be set to a "real multibyte" character
      set like UCS2, UTF16, UTF32. (We'll use only UTF32 in the examples
      below for convenience.)

      So the default string result of such functions
      in these circumstances is real multi-byte character set, like UTF32.

      For example, all numbers in string context
      return result in @@character_set_results:

      SELECT CONCAT(20010101); -> UTF32

      We do sprintf() first (to get ASCII representation)
      and then convert to UTF32;
      
      So these kind "data sources" can use ASCII representation
      internally, but return multi-byte data only because
      @@character_set_results wants so.
      Therefore, conversion from ASCII to UTF32 is applied internally.


      2. Some other functions need in fact ASCII input.

      For example,
        inet_aton(), GeometryFromText(), Convert_TZ(), GET_FORMAT().

      Similar, fields of certain type, like DATE, TIME,
      when you insert string data into them, expect in fact ASCII input.
      If they get non-ASCII input, for example UTF32, they
      convert input from UTF32 to ASCII, and then use ASCII
      representation to do further processing.


      3. Now imagine we pass result of a data source of the first type
         to a data destination of the second type.

      What happens:
        a. data source converts data from ASCII to UTF32, because
           @@character_set_results wants so and passes the result to
           data destination.
        b. data destination gets UTF32 string.
        c. data destination converts UTF32 string to ASCII,
           because it needs ASCII representation to be able to handle data
           correctly.

      As a result we get two steps of unnecessary conversion:
      From ASCII to UTF32, then from UTF32 to ASCII.

      A better way to handle these situations is to pass ASCII
      representation directly from the source to the destination.

      This is why val_str_ascii() introduced.

    Check if a partition function is allowed
    SYNOPSIS
      check_partition_func_processor()
      int_arg                        Ignored
    RETURN VALUE
      TRUE                           Partition function not accepted
      FALSE                          Partition function accepted

    DESCRIPTION
    check_partition_func_processor is used to check if a partition function
    uses an allowed function. An allowed function will always ensure that
    X=Y guarantees that also part_function(X)=part_function(Y) where X is
    a set of partition fields and so is Y. The problems comes mainly from
    character sets where two equal strings can be quite unequal. E.g. the
    german character for double s is equal to 2 s.

    The default is that an item is not allowed
    in a partition function. Allowed functions
    can never depend on server version, they cannot depend on anything
    related to the environment. They can also only depend on a set of
    fields in the table itself. They cannot depend on other tables and
    cannot contain any queries and cannot contain udf's or similar.
    If a new Item class is defined and it inherits from a class that is
    allowed in a partition function then it is very important to consider
    whether this should be inherited to the new class. If not the function
    below should be defined in the new Item class.

    The general behaviour is that most integer functions are allowed.
    If the partition function contains any multi-byte collations then
    the function check_part_func_fields will report an error on the
    partition function independent of what functions are used. So the
    only character sets allowed are single character collation and
    even for those only a limited set of functions are allowed. The
    problem with multi-byte collations is that almost every string
    function has the ability to change things such that two strings
    that are equal will not be equal after manipulated by a string
    function. E.g. two strings one contains a double s, there is a
    special german character that is equal to two s. Now assume a
    string function removes one character at this place, then in
    one the double s will be removed and in the other there will
    still be one s remaining and the strings are no longer equal
    and thus the partition function will not sort equal strings into
    the same partitions.

    So the check if a partition function is valid is two steps. First
    check that the field types are valid, next check that the partition
    function is valid. The current set of partition functions valid
    assumes that there are no multi-byte collations amongst the partition
    fields.

  /*
    Given a condition P from the WHERE clause or from an ON expression of
    the processed SELECT S and a set of join tables from S marked in the
    parameter 'allowed'={T} a call of P->find_not_null_fields({T}) has to
    find the set fields {F} of the tables from 'allowed' such that:
    - each field from {F} is declared as nullable
    - each record of table t from {T} that contains NULL as the value for at
      at least one field from {F} can be ignored when building the result set
      for S
    It is assumed here that the condition P is conjunctive and all its column
    references belong to T.

    Examples:
      CREATE TABLE t1 (a int, b int);
      CREATE TABLE t2 (a int, b int);

      SELECT * FROM t1,t2 WHERE t1.a=t2.a and t1.b > 5;
      A call of find_not_null_fields() for the whole WHERE condition and {t1,t2}
      should find {t1.a,t1.b,t2.a}

      SELECT * FROM t1 LEFT JOIN ON (t1.a=t2.a and t2.a > t2.b);
      A call of find_not_null_fields() for the ON expression and {t2}
      should find {t2.a,t2.b}

    The function returns TRUE if it succeeds to prove that all records of

  @brief 
    Item_temptable_field is the same as Item_field, except that print() 
    continues to work even if the table has been dropped.

  @detail

    We need this item for "ANALYZE statement" feature. Query execution has 
    these steps:

      1. Run the query.
      2. Cleanup starts. Temporary tables are destroyed
      3. print "ANALYZE statement" output, if needed
      4. Call close_thread_table() for regular tables.

    Step #4 is done after step #3, so "ANALYZE stmt" has no problem printing
    Item_field objects that refer to regular tables.

    However, Step #3 is done after Step #2. Attempt to print Item_field objects
    that refer to temporary tables will cause access to freed memory. 
    
    To resolve this, we use Item_temptable_field to refer to items in temporary
    (work) tables.

/*
  Item represents one placeholder ('?') of prepared statement

  Notes:
  Item_param::field_type() is used when this item is in a temporary table.
  This is NOT placeholder metadata sent to client, as this value
  is assigned after sending metadata (in setup_one_conversion_function).
  For example in case of 'SELECT ?' you'll get MYSQL_TYPE_STRING both
  in result set and placeholders metadata, no matter what type you will
  supply for this placeholder in mysql_stmt_execute.

  Item_param has two Type_handler pointers,
  which can point to different handlers:

  1. In the Type_handler_hybrid_field_type member
     It's initialized in:
     - Item_param::setup_conversion(), for client-server PS protocol,
       according to the bind type.
     - Item_param::set_from_item(), for EXECUTE and EXECUTE IMMEDIATE,
       according to the actual parameter data type.

  2. In the "value" member.
     It's initialized in:
     - Item_param::set_param_func(), for client-server PS protocol.
     - Item_param::set_from_item(), for EXECUTE and EXECUTE IMMEDIATE.

  /*
    NO_VALUE is a special value meaning that the parameter has not been
    assigned yet. Item_param::state is assigned to NO_VALUE in constructor
    and is used at prepare time.

    1. At prepare time
      Item_param::fix_fields() sets "fixed" to true,
      but as Item_param::state is still NO_VALUE,
      Item_param::basic_const_item() returns false. This prevents various
      optimizations to happen at prepare time fix_fields().
      For example, in this query:
        PREPARE stmt FROM 'SELECT FORMAT(10000,2,?)';
      Item_param::basic_const_item() is tested from
      Item_func_format::fix_length_and_dec().

    2. At execute time:
      When Item_param gets a value
      (or a pseudo-value like DEFAULT_VALUE or IGNORE_VALUE):
      - Item_param::state changes from NO_VALUE to something else
      - Item_param::fixed is changed to true
      All Item_param::set_xxx() make sure to do so.
      In the state with an assigned value:
      - Item_param::basic_const_item() returns true
      - Item::type() returns NULL_ITEM or CONST_ITEM,
        depending on the value assigned.
      So in this state Item_param behaves in many cases like a literal.

      When Item_param::cleanup() is called:
      - Item_param::state does not change
      - Item_param::fixed changes to false
      Note, this puts Item_param into an inconsistent state:
      - Item_param::basic_const_item() still returns "true"
      - Item_param::type() still pretends to be a basic constant Item
      Both are not expected in combination with fixed==false.
      However, these methods are not really called in this state,
      see asserts in Item_param::basic_const_item() and Item_param::type().

      When Item_param::reset() is called:
      - Item_param::state changes to NO_VALUE
      - Item_param::fixed changes to false

/**
  Base class to implement typed value caching Item classes

  Item_copy_ classes are very similar to the corresponding Item_
  classes (e.g. Item_copy_string is similar to Item_string) but they add
  the following additional functionality to Item_ :
    1. Nullability
    2. Possibility to store the value not only on instantiation time,
       but also later.
  Item_copy_ classes are a functionality subset of Item_cache_ 
  classes, as e.g. they don't support comparisons with the original Item
  as Item_cache_ classes do.
  Item_copy_ classes are used in GROUP BY calculation.
  TODO: Item_copy should be made an abstract interface and Item_copy_
  classes should inherit both the respective Item_ class and the interface.
  Ideally we should drop Item_copy_ classes altogether and merge 
  their functionality to Item_cache_ (and these should be made to inherit
  from Item_).
