/*
  trigcond<param>(arg) ::= param? arg : TRUE

  The class Item_func_trig_cond is used for guarded predicates 
  which are employed only for internal purposes.
  A guarded predicate is an object consisting of an a regular or
  a guarded predicate P and a pointer to a boolean guard variable g. 
  A guarded predicate P/g is evaluated to true if the value of the
  guard g is false, otherwise it is evaluated to the same value that
  the predicate P: val(P/g)= g ? val(P):true.
  Guarded predicates allow us to include predicates into a conjunction
  conditionally. Currently they are utilized for pushed down predicates
  in queries with outer join operations.

  In the future, probably, it makes sense to extend this class to
  the objects consisting of three elements: a predicate P, a pointer
  to a variable g and a firing value s with following evaluation
  rule: val(P/g,s)= g==s? val(P) : true. It will allow us to build only
  one item for the objects of the form P/g1/g2... 

  Objects of this class are built only for query execution after
  the execution plan has been already selected. That's why this
  class needs only val_int out of generic methods. 
 
  Current uses of Item_func_trig_cond objects:
   - To wrap selection conditions when executing outer joins
   - To wrap condition that is pushed down into subquery

/**
  A helper class to handle situations when some item "pred" (the predicant)
  is consequently compared to a list of other items value0..valueN (the values).
  Currently used to handle:
  - <in predicate>
    pred IN (value0, value1, value2)
  - <simple case>
    CASE pred WHEN value0 .. WHEN value1 .. WHEN value2 .. END

  Every pair {pred,valueN} can be compared by its own Type_handler.
  Some pairs can use the same Type_handler.
  In cases when all pairs use exactly the same Type_handler,
  we say "all types are compatible".

  For example, for an expression
    1 IN (1, 1e0, 1.0, 2)
  - pred   is 1
  - value0 is 1
  - value1 is 1e0
  - value2 is 1.1
  - value3 is 2

  Pairs (pred,valueN) are compared as follows:
    N   expr1  Type
    -   -----  ----
    0       1   INT
    1     1e0   DOUBLE
    2     1.0   DECIMAL
    3       2   INT

  Types are not compatible in this example.

  During add_value() calls, each pair {pred,valueN} is analysed:
  - If valueN is an explicit NULL, it can be ignored in the caller asks to do so
  - If valueN is not an explicit NULL (or if the caller didn't ask to skip
    NULLs), then the value add an element in the array m_comparators[].

  Every element m_comparators[] stores the following information:
  1. m_arg_index - the position of the value expression in the original
     argument array, e.g. in Item_func_in::args[] or Item_func_case::args[].

  2. m_handler - the pointer to the data type handler that the owner
     will use to compare the pair {args[m_predicate_index],args[m_arg_index]}.

  3. m_handler_index - the index of an m_comparators[] element corresponding
     to the leftmost pair that uses exactly the same Type_handler for
     comparison. m_handler_index helps to maintain unique data type handlers.
   - m_comparators[i].m_handler_index==i means that this is the
     leftmost pair that uses the Type_handler m_handler for comparision.
   - If m_comparators[i].m_handlex_index!=i, it means that some earlier
     element m_comparators[j<i] is already using this Type_handler
     pointed by m_handler.

  4. m_cmp_item - the pointer to a cmp_item instance to handle comparison
     for this pair. Only unique type handlers have m_cmp_item!=NULL.
     Non-unique type handlers share the same cmp_item instance.
     For all m_comparators[] elements the following assersion it true:
       (m_handler_index==i) == (m_cmp_item!=NULL)

  2) otherwise Item_func_in employs several cmp_item objects to perform

    object for each result type. Different result types are collected in the

  Bisection is possible when:
  1. All types are similar
  2. All expressions in <in value list> are const
  In the presence of NULLs, the correct result of evaluating this item
  must be UNKNOWN or FALSE. To achieve that:
  - If type is scalar, we can use bisection and the "have_null" boolean.
  - If type is ROW, we will need to scan all of <in value list> when

      We cannot always rewrite conditions as follows:

      or
        from:  WHERE expr1=const AND expr2 LIKE expr1
        to:    WHERE expr1=const AND expr2 LIKE const

      because LIKE works differently comparing to the regular "=" operator:

      1. LIKE performs a stricter one-character-to-one-character comparison
         and does not recognize contractions and expansions.
         Replacing "expr1" to "const in LIKE would make the condition
         stricter in case of a complex collation.

      2. LIKE does not ignore trailing spaces and thus works differently
         from the "=" operator in case of "PAD SPACE" collations
         (which are the majority in MariaDB). So, for "PAD SPACE" collations:

         - expr1=const       - ignores trailing spaces
         - const LIKE expr2  - does not ignore trailing spaces
         - expr2 LIKE const  - does not ignore trailing spaces

      Allow only "binary" for now.
      It neither ignores trailing spaces nor has contractions/expansions.

      TODO:
      We could still replace "expr1" to "const" in "expr1 LIKE expr2"
      in case of a "PAD SPACE" collation, but only if "expr2" has '%'
      at the end.

        Propagation of equal fields with a PAD SPACE collation into LIKE
        is not safe.
        Example:
          WHERE a='a ' AND a LIKE 'a'     - returns true for 'a'
        cannot be rewritten to:
          WHERE a='a ' AND 'a ' LIKE 'a'  - returns false for 'a'
        Note, binary collations in MySQL/MariaDB, e.g. latin1_bin,
        still have the PAD SPACE attribute and ignore trailing spaces!
      - LIKE does not take into account contractions, expansions,
        and ignorable characters.
        Propagation of equal fields with contractions/expansions/ignorables
        is also not safe.

      It's safe to propagate my_charset_bin (BINARY/VARBINARY/BLOB) values,
      because they do not ignore trailing spaces and have one-to-one mapping
      between a string and its weights.

/*
  The class Item_equal is used to represent conjunctions of equality
  predicates of the form field1 = field2, and field=const in where
  conditions and on expressions.

  All equality predicates of the form field1=field2 contained in a
  conjunction are substituted for a sequence of items of this class.
  An item of this class Item_equal(f1,f2,...fk) represents a
  multiple equality f1=f2=...=fk.l

  If a conjunction contains predicates f1=f2 and f2=f3, a new item of
  this class is created Item_equal(f1,f2,f3) representing the multiple
  equality f1=f2=f3 that substitutes the above equality predicates in
  the conjunction.
  A conjunction of the predicates f2=f1 and f3=f1 and f3=f2 will be
  substituted for the item representing the same multiple equality
  f1=f2=f3.
  An item Item_equal(f1,f2) can appear instead of a conjunction of 
  f2=f1 and f1=f2, or instead of just the predicate f1=f2.

  An item of the class Item_equal inherits equalities from outer 
  conjunctive levels.

  Suppose we have a where condition of the following form:
  WHERE f1=f2 AND f3=f4 AND f3=f5 AND ... AND (...OR (f1=f3 AND ...)).
  In this case:
    f1=f2 will be substituted for Item_equal(f1,f2);
    f3=f4 and f3=f5  will be substituted for Item_equal(f3,f4,f5);
    f1=f3 will be substituted for Item_equal(f1,f2,f3,f4,f5);

  An object of the class Item_equal can contain an optional constant
  item c. Then it represents a multiple equality of the form 
  c=f1=...=fk.

  Objects of the class Item_equal are used for the following:

  1. An object Item_equal(t1.f1,...,tk.fk) allows us to consider any
  pair of tables ti and tj as joined by an equi-condition.
  Thus it provide us with additional access paths from table to table.

  2. An object Item_equal(t1.f1,...,tk.fk) is applied to deduce new
  SARGable predicates:
    f1=...=fk AND P(fi) => f1=...=fk AND P(fi) AND P(fj).
  It also can give us additional index scans and can allow us to
  improve selectivity estimates.

  3. An object Item_equal(t1.f1,...,tk.fk) is used to optimize the 
  selected execution plan for the query: if table ti is accessed 
  before the table tj then in any predicate P in the where condition
  the occurrence of tj.fj is substituted for ti.fi. This can allow
  an evaluation of the predicate at an earlier step.

  When feature 1 is supported they say that join transitive closure 
  is employed.
  When feature 2 is supported they say that search argument transitive
  closure is employed.
  Both features are usually supported by preprocessing original query and
  adding additional predicates.
  We do not just add predicates, we rather dynamically replace some
  predicates that can not be used to access tables in the investigated
  plan for those, obtained by substitution of some fields for equal fields,
  that can be used.     

  Prepared Statements/Stored Procedures note: instances of class
  Item_equal are created only at the time a PS/SP is executed and
  are deleted in the end of execution. All changes made to these
  objects need not be registered in the list of changes of the parse
  tree and do not harm PS/SP re-execution.

  Item equal objects are employed only at the optimize phase. Usually they are
  not supposed to be evaluated.  Yet in some cases we call the method val_int()
  for them. We have to take care of restricting the predicate such an
  object represents f1=f2= ...=fn to the projection of known fields fi1=...=fik.
