/**
   The implementation of optimized \<outer expression\> [NOT] IN \<subquery\>
   predicates. The implementation works as follows.

   For the current value of the outer expression
   
   - If it contains only NULL values, the original (before rewrite by the
     Item_in_subselect rewrite methods) inner subquery is non-correlated and
     was previously executed, there is no need to re-execute it, and the
     previous return value is returned.

   - If it contains NULL values, check if there is a partial match for the
     inner query block by evaluating it. For clarity we repeat here the
     transformation previously performed on the sub-query. The expression

     <tt>
     ( oc_1, ..., oc_n ) 
     \<in predicate\>
     ( SELECT ic_1, ..., ic_n
       FROM \<table\>
       WHERE \<inner where\> 
     )
     </tt>

     was transformed into
     
     <tt>
     ( oc_1, ..., oc_n ) 
     \<in predicate\>
     ( SELECT ic_1, ..., ic_n 
       FROM \<table\> 
       WHERE \<inner where\> AND ... ( ic_k = oc_k OR ic_k IS NULL ) 
       HAVING ... NOT ic_k IS NULL
     )
     </tt>

     The evaluation will now proceed according to special rules set up
     elsewhere. These rules include:

     - The HAVING NOT \<inner column\> IS NULL conditions added by the
       aforementioned rewrite methods will detect whether they evaluated (and
       rejected) a NULL value and if so, will cause the subquery to evaluate
       to NULL. 

     - The added WHERE and HAVING conditions are present only for those inner
       columns that correspond to outer column that are not NULL at the moment.
     
     - If there is an eligible index for executing the subquery, the special
       access method "Full scan on NULL key" is employed which ensures that
       the inner query will detect if there are NULL values resulting from the
       inner query. This access method will quietly resort to table scan if it
       needs to find NULL values as well.

     - Under these conditions, the sub-query need only be evaluated in order to
       find out whether it produced any rows.
     
       - If it did, we know that there was a partial match since there are
         NULL values in the outer row expression.

       - If it did not, the result is FALSE or UNKNOWN. If at least one of the
         HAVING sub-predicates rejected a NULL value corresponding to an outer
         non-NULL, and hence the inner query block returns UNKNOWN upon
         evaluation, there was a partial match and the result is UNKNOWN.

   - If it contains no NULL values, the call is forwarded to the inner query
     block.

      NULLIF(l_expr, r_expr)

        is calculated in the way to return a result equal to:

      CASE WHEN l_expr = r_expr THEN NULL ELSE r_expr END.

      There's nothing special with r_expr, because it's referenced
      only by args[1] and nothing else.

      l_expr needs a special treatment, as it's referenced by both
      args[0] and args[2] initially.

      args[2] is used to return the value. Afrer all transformations
      (e.g. in fix_length_and_dec(), equal field propagation, etc)
      args[2] points to a an Item which preserves the exact data type and
      attributes (e.g. collation) of the original l_expr.
      It can point:
      - to the original l_expr
      - to an Item_cache pointing to l_expr
      - to a constant of the same data type with l_expr.

      args[0] is used for comparison. It can be replaced:

      - to Item_func_conv_charset by character set aggregation routines
      - to a constant Item by equal field propagation routines
        (in case of Item_field)

      The data type and/or the attributes of args[0] can differ from
      the data type and the attributes of the original l_expr, to make
      it comparable to args[1] (which points to r_expr or its replacement).

      For aggregate functions we have to wrap the original args[0]/args[2]
      into Item_cache (see MDEV-9181). In this case the Item_cache
      instance becomes the subject to character set conversion instead of
      the original args[0]/args[2], while the original args[0]/args[2] get
      hidden inside the cache.

      Some examples of what NULLIF can end up with after argument
      substitution (we don't mention args[1] in some cases for simplicity):

      1. l_expr is not an aggragate function:

        a. No conversion happened.
           args[0] and args[2] were not replaced to something else
           (i.e. neither by character set conversion, nor by propagation):

          args[1] > r_expr
          args[0] \
                    l_expr
          args[2] /

        b. Conversion of args[0] happened:

           CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1 (
             a CHAR(10) CHARACTER SET latin1,
             b CHAR(10) CHARACTER SET utf8);
           SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE NULLIF(a,b);

           args[1] > r_expr                          (Item_field for t1.b)
           args[0] > Item_func_conv_charset\
                                            l_expr   (Item_field for t1.a)
           args[2] > ----------------------/

        c. Conversion of args[1] happened:

          CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1 (
            a CHAR(10) CHARACTER SET utf8,
            b CHAR(10) CHARACTER SET latin1);
          SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE NULLIF(a,b);

          args[1] > Item_func_conv_charset -> r_expr (Item_field for t1.b)
          args[0] \
                   l_expr                            (Item_field for t1.a)
          args[2] /

        d. Conversion of only args[0] happened (by equal field proparation):

           CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1 (
             a CHAR(10),
             b CHAR(10));
           SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE NULLIF(a,b) AND a='a';

           args[1] > r_expr            (Item_field for t1.b)
           args[0] > Item_string('a')  (constant replacement for t1.a)
           args[2] > l_expr            (Item_field for t1.a)

        e. Conversion of both args[0] and args[2] happened
           (by equal field propagation):

           CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1 (a INT,b INT);
           SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE NULLIF(a,b) AND a=5;

           args[1] > r_expr         (Item_field for "b")
           args[0] \
                    Item_int (5)    (constant replacement for "a")
           args[2] /

      2. In case if l_expr is an aggregate function:

        a. No conversion happened:

          args[0] \
                   Item_cache > l_expr
          args[2] /

        b. Conversion of args[0] happened:

          args[0] > Item_func_conv_charset \
                                            Item_cache > l_expr
          args[2] >------------------------/

        c. Conversion of both args[0] and args[2] happened.

    from args[0] again.

    If args[0] changed, then it can be Item_func_conv_charset() for the
    original args[0], which was permanently installed during PREPARE time
    into the item tree as a wrapper for args[0], using change_item_tree(), i.e.

      NULLIF(latin1_field, 'a' COLLATE utf8_bin)

    was "rewritten" to:

      CASE WHEN CONVERT(latin1_field USING utf8) = 'a' COLLATE utf8_bin
        THEN NULL
        ELSE latin1_field

    - m_args0 points to Item_field corresponding to latin1_field
    - args[0] points to Item_func_conv_charset
    - args[0]->args[0] is equal to m_args0
    - args[1] points to Item_func_set_collation
    - args[2] points is eqial to m_args0

    In this case we remember and reuse m_arg0 during EXECUTE time as args[2].

    QQ: How to make sure that m_args0 does not point
    to something temporary which will be destoyed between PREPARE and EXECUTE.
    The condition below should probably be more strict and somehow check that:
    - change_item_tree() was called for the new args[0]
    - m_args0 is referenced from inside args[0], e.g. as a function argument,
      and therefore it is also something that won't be destroyed between
      PREPARE and EXECUTE.
    Any ideas?

    In order to do correct comparisons of the CASE expression (the expression
    between CASE and the first WHEN) with each WHEN expression several
    comparators are used. One for each result type. CASE expression can be
    evaluated up to # of different result types are used. To check whether
    the CASE expression already was evaluated for a particular result type
    a bit mapped variable value_added_map is used. Result types are mapped

    0, REAL_RESULT to bit 1, so on.

/*
  Compare two integers in IN value list format (packed_longlong) 

  SYNOPSIS
    cmp_longlong()
      cmp_arg   an argument passed to the calling function (my_qsort2)
      a         left argument
      b         right argument

  DESCRIPTION
    This function will compare two integer arguments in the IN value list
    format and will return -1, 0, or 1 if left argument is smaller than,
    equal to or greater than the right argument.
    It's used in sorting the IN values list and finding an element in it.
    Depending on the signedness of the arguments cmp_longlong() will
    compare them as either signed (using cmp_longs()) or unsigned (using
    cmp_ulongs()).

  RETURN VALUE
    -1          left argument is smaller than the right argument.
    0           left argument is equal to the right argument.
    1           left argument is greater than the right argument.

/**
  Perform context analysis of an IN item tree.

    This function performs context analysis (name resolution) and calculates
    various attributes of the item tree with Item_func_in as its root.
    The function saves in ref the pointer to the item or to a newly created
    item that is considered as a replacement for the original one.

  @param thd     reference to the global context of the query thread
  @param ref     pointer to Item* variable where pointer to resulting "fixed"
                 item is to be assigned

  @note
    Let T0(e)/T1(e) be the value of not_null_tables(e) when e is used on
    a predicate/function level. Then it's easy to show that:
    @verbatim

  Evaluate the function and return its value.

  SYNOPSIS
    val_int()

  DESCRIPTION
    Evaluate the function and return its value.

  IMPLEMENTATION
    If the array object is defined then the value of the function is
    calculated by means of this array.
    Otherwise several cmp_item objects are used in order to do correct
    comparison of left expression and an expression from the values list.
    One cmp_item object correspond to one used comparison type. Left
    expression can be evaluated up to number of different used comparison
    types. A bit mapped variable value_added_map is used to check whether
    the left expression already was evaluated for a particular result type.
    Result types are mapped to it according to their integer values i.e.
    STRING_RESULT is mapped to bit 0, REAL_RESULT to bit 1, so on.

  RETURN
    Value of the function

        Suppose we have an expression (with a string type field) like this:
          WHERE field=const1 AND field=const2 ...

        For all pairs field=constXXX we know that:

        - Item_func_eq::fix_length_and_dec() performed collation and character
        set aggregation and added character set converters when needed.
        Note, the case like:
          WHERE field=const1 COLLATE latin1_bin AND field=const2
        is not handled here, because the field would be replaced to
        Item_func_set_collation, which cannot get into Item_equal.
        So all constXXX that are handled by Item_equal
        already have compatible character sets with "field".

        - Also, Field_str::test_if_equality_guarantees_uniqueness() guarantees
        that the comparison collation of all equalities handled by Item_equal
        match the the collation of the field.

        Therefore, at Item_equal::add_const() time all constants constXXX
        should be directly comparable to each other without an additional
        character set conversion.
        It's safe to do val_str() for "const_item" and "c" and compare
        them according to the collation of the *field*.

        So in a script like this:
          CREATE TABLE t1 (a VARCHAR(10) COLLATE xxx);
          INSERT INTO t1 VALUES ('a'),('A');
          SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE a='a' AND a='A';
        Item_equal::add_const() effectively rewrites the condition to:
          SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE a='a' AND 'a' COLLATE xxx='A';
        and then to:
          SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE a='a'; // if the two constants were equal
                                        // e.g. in case of latin1_swedish_ci
        or to:
          SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE FALSE; // if the two constants were not equal
                                        // e.g. in case of latin1_bin

        Note, both "const_item" and "c" can return NULL, e.g.:
          SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE a=NULL    AND a='const';
          SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE a='const' AND a=NULL;
          SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE a='const' AND a=(SELECT MAX(a) FROM t2)

  @brief Get the first equal field of multiple equality.
  @param[in] field   the field to get equal field to

  @details Get the first field of multiple equality that is equal to the
  given field. In order to make semi-join materialization strategy work
  correctly we can't propagate equal fields from upper select to a
  materialized semi-join.
  Thus the fields is returned according to following rules:

  1) If the given field belongs to a semi-join then the first field in
     multiple equality which belong to the same semi-join is returned.
     Otherwise NULL is returned.
  2) If the given field doesn't belong to a semi-join then
     the first field in the multiple equality that doesn't belong to any
     semi-join is returned.
     If all fields in the equality are belong to semi-join(s) then NULL
     is returned.
  3) If no field is given then the first field in the multiple equality
     is returned without regarding whether it belongs to a semi-join or not.

  @retval Found first field in the multiple equality.
  @retval 0 if no field found.

    Of all equal fields, return the first one we can use. Normally, this is the
    field which belongs to the table that is the first in the join order.

    There is one exception to this: When semi-join materialization strategy is
    used, and the given field belongs to a table within the semi-join nest, we
    must pick the first field in the semi-join nest.

    Example: suppose we have a join order:

       ot1 ot2  SJ-Mat(it1  it2  it3)  ot3

    and equality ot2.col = it1.col = it2.col
    If we're looking for best substitute for 'it2.col', we should pick it1.col
    and not ot2.col.
    
    eliminate_item_equal() also has code that deals with equality substitution
    in presense of SJM nests.

      The field is not in SJ-Materialization nest. We must return the first
      field in the join order. The field may be inside a semi-join nest, i.e 
      a join order may look like this:

          SJ-Mat(it1  it2)  ot1  ot2

      where we're looking what to substitute ot2.col for. In this case we must 
      still return it1.col, here's a proof why:

      First let's note that either it1.col or it2.col participates in 
      subquery's IN-equality. It can't be otherwise, because materialization is
      only applicable to uncorrelated subqueries, so the only way we could
      infer "it1.col=ot1.col" is from the IN-equality. Ok, so IN-eqality has 
      it1.col or it2.col on its inner side. it1.col is first such item in the
      join order, so it's not possible for SJ-Mat to be
      SJ-Materialization-lookup, it is SJ-Materialization-Scan. The scan part
      of this strategy will unpack value of it1.col=it2.col into it1.col
      (that's the first equal item inside the subquery), and we'll be able to
      get it from there. qed.
