The following type conversions was done:

- Changed byte to uchar
- Changed gptr to uchar*
- Change my_string to char *
- Change my_size_t to size_t
- Change size_s to size_t

Removed declaration of byte, gptr, my_string, my_size_t and size_s. 

Following function parameter changes was done:
- All string functions in mysys/strings was changed to use size_t
  instead of uint for string lengths.
- All read()/write() functions changed to use size_t (including vio).
- All protocoll functions changed to use size_t instead of uint
- Functions that used a pointer to a string length was changed to use size_t*
- Changed malloc(), free() and related functions from using gptr to use void *
  as this requires fewer casts in the code and is more in line with how the
  standard functions work.
- Added extra length argument to dirname_part() to return the length of the
  created string.
- Changed (at least) following functions to take uchar* as argument:
  - db_dump()
  - my_net_write()
  - net_write_command()
  - net_store_data()
  - DBUG_DUMP()
  - decimal2bin() & bin2decimal()
- Changed my_compress() and my_uncompress() to use size_t. Changed one
  argument to my_uncompress() from a pointer to a value as we only return
  one value (makes function easier to use).
- Changed type of 'pack_data' argument to packfrm() to avoid casts.
- Changed in readfrm() and writefrom(), ha_discover and handler::discover()
  the type for argument 'frmdata' to uchar** to avoid casts.
- Changed most Field functions to use uchar* instead of char* (reduced a lot of
  casts).
- Changed field->val_xxx(xxx, new_ptr) to take const pointers.

Other changes:
- Removed a lot of not needed casts
- Added a few new cast required by other changes
- Added some cast to my_multi_malloc() arguments for safety (as string lengths
  needs to be uint, not size_t).
- Fixed all calls to hash-get-key functions to use size_t*. (Needed to be done
  explicitely as this conflict was often hided by casting the function to
  hash_get_key).
- Changed some buffers to memory regions to uchar* to avoid casts.
- Changed some string lengths from uint to size_t.
- Changed field->ptr to be uchar* instead of char*. This allowed us to
  get rid of a lot of casts.
- Some changes from true -> TRUE, false -> FALSE, unsigned char -> uchar
- Include zlib.h in some files as we needed declaration of crc32()
- Changed MY_FILE_ERROR to be (size_t) -1.
- Changed many variables to hold the result of my_read() / my_write() to be
  size_t. This was needed to properly detect errors (which are
  returned as (size_t) -1).
- Removed some very old VMS code
- Changed packfrm()/unpackfrm() to not be depending on uint size
  (portability fix)
- Removed windows specific code to restore cursor position as this
  causes slowdown on windows and we should not mix read() and pread()
  calls anyway as this is not thread safe. Updated function comment to
  reflect this. Changed function that depended on original behavior of
  my_pwrite() to itself restore the cursor position (one such case).
- Added some missing checking of return value of malloc().
- Changed definition of MOD_PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH to avoid 'long' overflow.
- Changed type of table_def::m_size from my_size_t to ulong to reflect that
  m_size is the number of elements in the array, not a string/memory
  length.
- Moved THD::max_row_length() to table.cc (as it's not depending on THD).
  Inlined max_row_length_blob() into this function.
- More function comments
- Fixed some compiler warnings when compiled without partitions.
- Removed setting of LEX_STRING() arguments in declaration (portability fix).
- Some trivial indentation/variable name changes.
- Some trivial code simplifications:
  - Replaced some calls to alloc_root + memcpy to use
    strmake_root()/strdup_root().
  - Changed some calls from memdup() to strmake() (Safety fix)
  - Simpler loops in client-simple.c

The function CRC32() returns unsigned integer.
But the metadata (the unsigned flag) for the 
function was set incorrectly.
As a result type arithmetics based on the 
function's metadata (like finding the concise
type of an temporary table column to hold the result)
returned incorrect results.
Fixed by returning correct type information.

This fix is based on code contributed by Martin Friebe
(martin@hybyte.com) on 2007-03-30.  

to return NULL for non-NULL arguments.
This is not the case as it can return NULL
for invalid hexidecimal strings.
Fixed by setting the maybe_null flag.

correctly.

The Item_func::print method was used to print the Item_func_encode and the
Item_func_decode objects. The last argument to ENCODE and DECODE functions
is a plain C string and thus Item_func::print wasn't able to print it.

The print() method is added to the Item_func_encode class. It correctly
prints the Item_func_encode and the Item_func_decode objects.

  Changed header to GPL version 2 only

Before this change, the functions BENCHMARK, ENCODE, DECODE and FORMAT could
only accept a constant for some parameters.

After this change, this restriction has been removed. An implication is that
these functions can also be used in prepared statements.

The change consist of changing the following classes:
- Item_func_benchmark
- Item_func_encode
- Item_func_decode
- Item_func_format
to:
- only accept Item* in the constructor,
- and evaluate arguments during calls to val_xxx()
which fits the general design of all the other functions.

The 'TODO' items identified in item_create.cc during the work done for
Bug 21114 are addressed by this fix, as a natural consequence of aligning
the design.

In the 'func_str' test, a single very long test line involving an explain
extended select with many functions has been rewritten into multiple
separate tests, to improve maintainability.
The result of explain extended select decode(encode(...)) has changed,
since the encode and decode functions now print all their parameters.

Review comments

Changes in an item tree done by optimizer weren't properly
registered and went unnoticed, which resulted in preliminary freeing
of used memory.

Make the encryption functions MD5(), SHA1() and ENCRYPT() return binary results.
    
Make MAKE_SET() and EXPORT_SET() use the correct character set for their default separator strings.

  When executing INSERT over a view with calculated columns it was assuming all
  elements of the fields collection are actually Item_field instances.
  This may not be true when inserting into a view and that view has columns that are 
  such expressions that allow updating (like setting a collation for example).
  Corrected to access field information through the filed_for_view_update() function and 
  retrieve correctly the field info even for "update-friendly" non-Item_field items.

Review fixes

for class Item_func_trim. 
For 4.1 it caused wrong output for EXPLAIN EXTENDED commands
if expressions with the TRIM function of two arguments were used.
For 5.0 it caused an error message when trying to select
from a view with the TRIM function of two arguments.
This unexpected error message was due to the fact that the
print method for the class Item_func_trim was inherited from
the class Item_func. Yet the TRIM function does not take a list
of its arguments. Rather it takes the arguments in the form:
  [{BOTH | LEADING | TRAILING} [remstr] FROM] str) |
  [remstr FROM] str

Review fixes

  The UNCOMPRESS() function was not marked as maybe_null, even though
  it returns NULL on invalid data. This confused the optimizer.

The implementation of the method Item_func_reverse::val_str
for the REVERSE function modified the argument of the function.
This led to wrong results for expressions that contained
REVERSE(ref) if ref occurred somewhere else in the expressions.

           invoker name

The bug was fixed similar to how context switch is handled in
Item_func_sp::execute_impl(): we store pointer to current
Name_resolution_context in Item_func_current_user class, and use
its Security_context in Item_func_current_user::fix_fields().

Changed test for functions if they are supported.
3 categories:
1) Fully supported
2) Supported for single character collations
3) Supported for binary collations

mark result string using String::mark_as_const()
which prevents CONCAT from reusing it as a buffer
for concatenation result.

This changeset is largely a handler cleanup changeset (WL#3281), but includes fixes and cleanups that was found necessary while testing the handler changes

Changes that requires code changes in other code of other storage engines.
(Note that all changes are very straightforward and one should find all issues
by compiling a --debug build and fixing all compiler errors and all
asserts in field.cc while running the test suite),

- New optional handler function introduced: reset()
  This is called after every DML statement to make it easy for a handler to
  statement specific cleanups.
  (The only case it's not called is if force the file to be closed)

- handler::extra(HA_EXTRA_RESET) is removed. Code that was there before
  should be moved to handler::reset()

- table->read_set contains a bitmap over all columns that are needed
  in the query.  read_row() and similar functions only needs to read these
  columns
- table->write_set contains a bitmap over all columns that will be updated
  in the query. write_row() and update_row() only needs to update these
  columns.
  The above bitmaps should now be up to date in all context
  (including ALTER TABLE, filesort()).

  The handler is informed of any changes to the bitmap after
  fix_fields() by calling the virtual function
  handler::column_bitmaps_signal(). If the handler does caching of
  these bitmaps (instead of using table->read_set, table->write_set),
  it should redo the caching in this code. as the signal() may be sent
  several times, it's probably best to set a variable in the signal
  and redo the caching on read_row() / write_row() if the variable was
  set.

- Removed the read_set and write_set bitmap objects from the handler class

- Removed all column bit handling functions from the handler class.
  (Now one instead uses the normal bitmap functions in my_bitmap.c instead
  of handler dedicated bitmap functions)

- field->query_id is removed. One should instead instead check
  table->read_set and table->write_set if a field is used in the query.

- handler::extra(HA_EXTRA_RETRIVE_ALL_COLS) and
  handler::extra(HA_EXTRA_RETRIEVE_PRIMARY_KEY) are removed. One should now
  instead use table->read_set to check for which columns to retrieve.

- If a handler needs to call Field->val() or Field->store() on columns
  that are not used in the query, one should install a temporary
  all-columns-used map while doing so. For this, we provide the following
  functions:

  my_bitmap_map *old_map= dbug_tmp_use_all_columns(table, table->read_set);
  field->val();
  dbug_tmp_restore_column_map(table->read_set, old_map);

  and similar for the write map:

  my_bitmap_map *old_map= dbug_tmp_use_all_columns(table, table->write_set);
  field->val();
  dbug_tmp_restore_column_map(table->write_set, old_map);

  If this is not done, you will sooner or later hit a DBUG_ASSERT
  in the field store() / val() functions.
  (For not DBUG binaries, the dbug_tmp_restore_column_map() and
  dbug_tmp_restore_column_map() are inline dummy functions and should
  be optimized away be the compiler).

- If one needs to temporary set the column map for all binaries (and not
  just to avoid the DBUG_ASSERT() in the Field::store() / Field::val()
  methods) one should use the functions tmp_use_all_columns() and
  tmp_restore_column_map() instead of the above dbug_ variants.

- All 'status' fields in the handler base class (like records,
  data_file_length etc) are now stored in a 'stats' struct. This makes
  it easier to know what status variables are provided by the base
  handler.  This requires some trivial variable names in the extra()
  function.

- New virtual function handler::records().  This is called to optimize
  COUNT(*) if (handler::table_flags() & HA_HAS_RECORDS()) is true.
  (stats.records is not supposed to be an exact value. It's only has to
  be 'reasonable enough' for the optimizer to be able to choose a good
  optimization path).

- Non virtual handler::init() function added for caching of virtual
  constants from engine.

- Removed has_transactions() virtual method. Now one should instead return
  HA_NO_TRANSACTIONS in table_flags() if the table handler DOES NOT support
  transactions.

- The 'xxxx_create_handler()' function now has a MEM_ROOT_root argument
  that is to be used with 'new handler_name()' to allocate the handler
  in the right area.  The xxxx_create_handler() function is also
  responsible for any initialization of the object before returning.

  For example, one should change:

  static handler *myisam_create_handler(TABLE_SHARE *table)
  {
    return new ha_myisam(table);
  }

  ->

  static handler *myisam_create_handler(TABLE_SHARE *table, MEM_ROOT *mem_root)
  {
    return new (mem_root) ha_myisam(table);
  }

- New optional virtual function: use_hidden_primary_key().
  This is called in case of an update/delete when
  (table_flags() and HA_PRIMARY_KEY_REQUIRED_FOR_DELETE) is defined
  but we don't have a primary key. This allows the handler to take precisions
  in remembering any hidden primary key to able to update/delete any
  found row. The default handler marks all columns to be read.

- handler::table_flags() now returns a ulonglong (to allow for more flags).

- New/changed table_flags()
  - HA_HAS_RECORDS	    Set if ::records() is supported
  - HA_NO_TRANSACTIONS	    Set if engine doesn't support transactions
  - HA_PRIMARY_KEY_REQUIRED_FOR_DELETE
                            Set if we should mark all primary key columns for
			    read when reading rows as part of a DELETE
			    statement. If there is no primary key,
			    all columns are marked for read.
  - HA_PARTIAL_COLUMN_READ  Set if engine will not read all columns in some
			    cases (based on table->read_set)
 - HA_PRIMARY_KEY_ALLOW_RANDOM_ACCESS
   			    Renamed to HA_PRIMARY_KEY_REQUIRED_FOR_POSITION.
 - HA_DUPP_POS              Renamed to HA_DUPLICATE_POS
 - HA_REQUIRES_KEY_COLUMNS_FOR_DELETE
			    Set this if we should mark ALL key columns for
			    read when when reading rows as part of a DELETE
			    statement. In case of an update we will mark
			    all keys for read for which key part changed
			    value.
  - HA_STATS_RECORDS_IS_EXACT
			     Set this if stats.records is exact.
			     (This saves us some extra records() calls
			     when optimizing COUNT(*))
			    

- Removed table_flags()
  - HA_NOT_EXACT_COUNT     Now one should instead use HA_HAS_RECORDS if
			   handler::records() gives an exact count() and
			   HA_STATS_RECORDS_IS_EXACT if stats.records is exact.
  - HA_READ_RND_SAME	   Removed (no one supported this one)

- Removed not needed functions ha_retrieve_all_cols() and ha_retrieve_all_pk()

- Renamed handler::dupp_pos to handler::dup_pos

- Removed not used variable handler::sortkey


Upper level handler changes:

- ha_reset() now does some overall checks and calls ::reset()
- ha_table_flags() added. This is a cached version of table_flags(). The
  cache is updated on engine creation time and updated on open.


MySQL level changes (not obvious from the above):

- DBUG_ASSERT() added to check that column usage matches what is set
  in the column usage bit maps. (This found a LOT of bugs in current
  column marking code).

- In 5.1 before, all used columns was marked in read_set and only updated
  columns was marked in write_set. Now we only mark columns for which we
  need a value in read_set.

- Column bitmaps are created in open_binary_frm() and open_table_from_share().
  (Before this was in table.cc)

- handler::table_flags() calls are replaced with handler::ha_table_flags()

- For calling field->val() you must have the corresponding bit set in
  table->read_set. For calling field->store() you must have the
  corresponding bit set in table->write_set. (There are asserts in
  all store()/val() functions to catch wrong usage)

- thd->set_query_id is renamed to thd->mark_used_columns and instead
  of setting this to an integer value, this has now the values:
  MARK_COLUMNS_NONE, MARK_COLUMNS_READ, MARK_COLUMNS_WRITE
  Changed also all variables named 'set_query_id' to mark_used_columns.

- In filesort() we now inform the handler of exactly which columns are needed
  doing the sort and choosing the rows.

- The TABLE_SHARE object has a 'all_set' column bitmap one can use
  when one needs a column bitmap with all columns set.
  (This is used for table->use_all_columns() and other places)

- The TABLE object has 3 column bitmaps:
  - def_read_set     Default bitmap for columns to be read
  - def_write_set    Default bitmap for columns to be written
  - tmp_set          Can be used as a temporary bitmap when needed.
  The table object has also two pointer to bitmaps read_set and write_set
  that the handler should use to find out which columns are used in which way.

- count() optimization now calls handler::records() instead of using
  handler->stats.records (if (table_flags() & HA_HAS_RECORDS) is true).

- Added extra argument to Item::walk() to indicate if we should also
  traverse sub queries.

- Added TABLE parameter to cp_buffer_from_ref()

- Don't close tables created with CREATE ... SELECT but keep them in
  the table cache. (Faster usage of newly created tables).


New interfaces:

- table->clear_column_bitmaps() to initialize the bitmaps for tables
  at start of new statements.

- table->column_bitmaps_set() to set up new column bitmaps and signal
  the handler about this.

- table->column_bitmaps_set_no_signal() for some few cases where we need
  to setup new column bitmaps but don't signal the handler (as the handler
  has already been signaled about these before). Used for the momement
  only in opt_range.cc when doing ROR scans.

- table->use_all_columns() to install a bitmap where all columns are marked
  as use in the read and the write set.

- table->default_column_bitmaps() to install the normal read and write
  column bitmaps, but not signaling the handler about this.
  This is mainly used when creating TABLE instances.

- table->mark_columns_needed_for_delete(),
  table->mark_columns_needed_for_delete() and
  table->mark_columns_needed_for_insert() to allow us to put additional
  columns in column usage maps if handler so requires.
  (The handler indicates what it neads in handler->table_flags())

- table->prepare_for_position() to allow us to tell handler that it
  needs to read primary key parts to be able to store them in
  future table->position() calls.
  (This replaces the table->file->ha_retrieve_all_pk function)

- table->mark_auto_increment_column() to tell handler are going to update
  columns part of any auto_increment key.

- table->mark_columns_used_by_index() to mark all columns that is part of
  an index.  It will also send extra(HA_EXTRA_KEYREAD) to handler to allow
  it to quickly know that it only needs to read colums that are part
  of the key.  (The handler can also use the column map for detecting this,
  but simpler/faster handler can just monitor the extra() call).

- table->mark_columns_used_by_index_no_reset() to in addition to other columns,
  also mark all columns that is used by the given key.

- table->restore_column_maps_after_mark_index() to restore to default
  column maps after a call to table->mark_columns_used_by_index().

- New item function register_field_in_read_map(), for marking used columns
  in table->read_map. Used by filesort() to mark all used columns

- Maintain in TABLE->merge_keys set of all keys that are used in query.
  (Simplices some optimization loops)

- Maintain Field->part_of_key_not_clustered which is like Field->part_of_key
  but the field in the clustered key is not assumed to be part of all index.
  (used in opt_range.cc for faster loops)

-  dbug_tmp_use_all_columns(), dbug_tmp_restore_column_map()
   tmp_use_all_columns() and tmp_restore_column_map() functions to temporally
   mark all columns as usable.  The 'dbug_' version is primarily intended
   inside a handler when it wants to just call Field:store() & Field::val()
   functions, but don't need the column maps set for any other usage.
   (ie:: bitmap_is_set() is never called)

- We can't use compare_records() to skip updates for handlers that returns
  a partial column set and the read_set doesn't cover all columns in the
  write set. The reason for this is that if we have a column marked only for
  write we can't in the MySQL level know if the value changed or not.
  The reason this worked before was that MySQL marked all to be written
  columns as also to be read. The new 'optimal' bitmaps exposed this 'hidden
  bug'.

- open_table_from_share() does not anymore setup temporary MEM_ROOT
  object as a thread specific variable for the handler. Instead we
  send the to-be-used MEMROOT to get_new_handler().
  (Simpler, faster code)



Bugs fixed:

- Column marking was not done correctly in a lot of cases.
  (ALTER TABLE, when using triggers, auto_increment fields etc)
  (Could potentially result in wrong values inserted in table handlers
  relying on that the old column maps or field->set_query_id was correct)
  Especially when it comes to triggers, there may be cases where the
  old code would cause lost/wrong values for NDB and/or InnoDB tables.

- Split thd->options flag OPTION_STATUS_NO_TRANS_UPDATE to two flags:
  OPTION_STATUS_NO_TRANS_UPDATE and OPTION_KEEP_LOG.
  This allowed me to remove some wrong warnings about:
  "Some non-transactional changed tables couldn't be rolled back"

- Fixed handling of INSERT .. SELECT and CREATE ... SELECT that wrongly reset
  (thd->options & OPTION_STATUS_NO_TRANS_UPDATE) which caused us to loose
  some warnings about
  "Some non-transactional changed tables couldn't be rolled back")

- Fixed use of uninitialized memory in ha_ndbcluster.cc::delete_table()
  which could cause delete_table to report random failures.

- Fixed core dumps for some tests when running with --debug

- Added missing FN_LIBCHAR in mysql_rm_tmp_tables()
  (This has probably caused us to not properly remove temporary files after
  crash)

- slow_logs was not properly initialized, which could maybe cause
  extra/lost entries in slow log.

- If we get an duplicate row on insert, change column map to read and
  write all columns while retrying the operation. This is required by
  the definition of REPLACE and also ensures that fields that are only
  part of UPDATE are properly handled.  This fixed a bug in NDB and
  REPLACE where REPLACE wrongly copied some column values from the replaced
  row.

- For table handler that doesn't support NULL in keys, we would give an error
  when creating a primary key with NULL fields, even after the fields has been
  automaticly converted to NOT NULL.

- Creating a primary key on a SPATIAL key, would fail if field was not
  declared as NOT NULL.


Cleanups:

- Removed not used condition argument to setup_tables

- Removed not needed item function reset_query_id_processor().

- Field->add_index is removed. Now this is instead maintained in
  (field->flags & FIELD_IN_ADD_INDEX)

- Field->fieldnr is removed (use field->field_index instead)

- New argument to filesort() to indicate that it should return a set of
  row pointers (not used columns). This allowed me to remove some references
  to sql_command in filesort and should also enable us to return column
  results in some cases where we couldn't before.

- Changed column bitmap handling in opt_range.cc to be aligned with TABLE
  bitmap, which allowed me to use bitmap functions instead of looping over
  all fields to create some needed bitmaps. (Faster and smaller code)

- Broke up found too long lines

- Moved some variable declaration at start of function for better code
  readability.

- Removed some not used arguments from functions.
  (setup_fields(), mysql_prepare_insert_check_table())

- setup_fields() now takes an enum instead of an int for marking columns
   usage.

- For internal temporary tables, use handler::write_row(),
  handler::delete_row() and handler::update_row() instead of
  handler::ha_xxxx() for faster execution.

- Changed some constants to enum's and define's.

- Using separate column read and write sets allows for easier checking
  of timestamp field was set by statement.

- Remove calls to free_io_cache() as this is now done automaticly in ha_reset()

- Don't build table->normalized_path as this is now identical to table->path
  (after bar's fixes to convert filenames)

- Fixed some missed DBUG_PRINT(.."%lx") to use "0x%lx" to make it easier to
  do comparision with the 'convert-dbug-for-diff' tool.


Things left to do in 5.1:

- We wrongly log failed CREATE TABLE ... SELECT in some cases when using
  row based logging (as shown by testcase binlog_row_mix_innodb_myisam.result)
  Mats has promised to look into this.

- Test that my fix for CREATE TABLE ... SELECT is indeed correct.
  (I added several test cases for this, but in this case it's better that
  someone else also tests this throughly).
  Lars has promosed to do this.

BUG#18198: Many strange partition functions were allowed, now only strictly allowed functions are ok

  The 'decimals' member of Item_func was being improperly initialized,
  which resulted in improper results when handling large numeric values.

Added functions to enable/disable allowed/disallowed partition functions

  Results of string functions were being converted to decimals by first
  being converted to integers, resulting in a loss of precision.

  calculate Item_func_format::max_length using charset->mbmaxlen

   - Set max_length of Item_func_uuid to max_length*system_charset_info->mbmaxlen
    Note! Item_func_uuid should be set to use 'ascii' charset when hex(), format(), md5()
etc will use 'ascii'
    - Comitting again, the old patch seems to have been lost.

item_strfunc.h, item_strfunc.cc, item.cc:
  Try to convert a const item into destination 
  character set. If conversion happens without
  data loss, then cache the converted value
  and return it during val_str().
  Otherwise, if conversion loses data, return
  Illeral mix of collations error, as it happened
  previously.
ctype_recoding.result, ctype_recoding.test:
  Fixing tests accordingly.

"Item_date_add_interval needs to have the int_type member as Public".
As explained in the bug report, this change is is to help http://search.cpan.org/~philips/DBIx-MyParse-0.20/
So please keep those members public.

ctype_utf8.result, ctype_utf8.test:
  Adding test case.
item_strfunc.cc:
item_strfunc.h:
  Moving the well formed checking code into a method,
  to reuse in several Item_func_xxx. Reusing the new
  method in Item_func_char and Item_func_charset_conv.

  select distinct char(column) fails with utf8
ctype_utf8.result, ctype_utf8.test:
  Adding test case
sql_yacc.yy:
  Adding new syntax.
item_strfunc.h:
  Fixing wrong max_length calculation.
  Also, adding CHAR(x USING charset),
  for easier migrating from 4.1 to 5.0,
  according to Monty's suggestion.

  New syntax: CHAR(x USING charset)
  Adding test case.
sql_yacc.yy:
  New syntax: CHAR(x USING charset)
  Adding new parser rule.
item_strfunc.h:
  New syntax: CHAR(x USING charset)
  Adding a new constructor.

- CHAR() now returns binary string as default
- CHAR(X*65536+Y*256+Z) is now equal to CHAR(X,Y,Z) independent of the character set for CHAR()
- Test for both ETIMEDOUT and ETIME from pthread_cond_timedwait()
  (Some old systems returns ETIME and it's safer to test for both values
   than to try to write a wrapper for each old system)
- Fixed new introduced bug in NOT BETWEEN X and X
- Ensure we call commit_by_xid or rollback_by_xid for all engines, even if one engine has failed
- Use octet2hex() for all conversion of string to hex
- Simplify and optimize code

correct value of CURRENT_USER() in SP with "security definer" (BUG#7291)

  Added test cases for bug #11469.
item_strfunc.h:
  Fixed bug #11469: wrong implementation of the not_null_tables
