Analysis: Queries with implicit grouping (there is aggregate, but no group by) follow some non-obvious semantics in the case of empty result set. Aggregate functions produce some special "natural" value depending on the function. For instance MIN/MAX return NULL, COUNT returns 0. The complexity comes from non-aggregate expressions in the select list. If the non-aggregate expression is a constant, it can be computed, so we should return its value, however if the expression is non-constant, and depends on columns from the empty result set, then the only meaningful value is NULL. The cause of the wrong result was that for subqueries the optimizer didn't make a difference between constant and non-constant ones in the case of empty result for implicit grouping. Solution: In all implementations of Item_subselect::no_rows_in_result() check if the subquery predicate is constant. If it is constant, do not set it to the default value for implicit grouping, instead let it be evaluated.
