Bug #57187: more user variable fun with multiple
assignments and comparison in query A query that compares assignments of the same user variable caused Valgrind warnings: access to freed memory region. In case of a DECIMAL argument the assignment operator (:=) may return a pointer to a stored value instead of its copy when evaluated. The next assignment to the same variable may: a) overwrite the stored value with a new one and return the same pointer or even b) reallocate stored value. Thus, if we evaluate an assignment and keep the result pointer and then evaluate another assignment to the same variable, then the kept result pointer of the first assignment will point to unexpectedly changed data or it may be a dead pointer. That may cause wrong data or crash. The user_var_entry::val_decimal method has been modified to copy user variable data. mysql-test/r/user_var.result: Test case for bug #57187. mysql-test/t/user_var.test: Test case for bug #57187. sql/item_func.cc: Bug #57187: more user variable fun with multiple assignments and comparison in query The user_var_entry::val_decimal method has been modified to copy user variable data.
