/**
  Class Item_sum is the base class used for special expressions that SQL calls
  'set functions'. These expressions are formed with the help of aggregate
  functions such as SUM, MAX, GROUP_CONCAT etc.

 GENERAL NOTES

  A set function cannot be used in certain positions where expressions are
  accepted. There are some quite explicable restrictions for the usage of 
  set functions.

  In the query:
    SELECT AVG(b) FROM t1 WHERE SUM(b) > 20 GROUP by a
  the usage of the set function AVG(b) is legal, while the usage of SUM(b)
  is illegal. A WHERE condition must contain expressions that can be 
  evaluated for each row of the table. Yet the expression SUM(b) can be
  evaluated only for each group of rows with the same value of column a.
  In the query:
    SELECT AVG(b) FROM t1 WHERE c > 30 GROUP BY a HAVING SUM(b) > 20
  both set function expressions AVG(b) and SUM(b) are legal.

  We can say that in a query without nested selects an occurrence of a
  set function in an expression of the SELECT list or/and in the HAVING
  clause is legal, while in the WHERE clause it's illegal.

  The general rule to detect whether a set function is legal in a query with
  nested subqueries is much more complicated.

  Consider the the following query:
    SELECT t1.a FROM t1 GROUP BY t1.a
      HAVING t1.a > ALL (SELECT t2.c FROM t2 WHERE SUM(t1.b) < t2.c).
  The set function SUM(b) is used here in the WHERE clause of the subquery.
  Nevertheless it is legal since it is under the HAVING clause of the query
  to which this function relates. The expression SUM(t1.b) is evaluated
  for each group defined in the main query, not for groups of the subquery.

  The problem of finding the query where to aggregate a particular
  set function is not so simple as it seems to be.

  In the query: 
    SELECT t1.a FROM t1 GROUP BY t1.a
     HAVING t1.a > ALL(SELECT t2.c FROM t2 GROUP BY t2.c
                         HAVING SUM(t1.a) < t2.c)
  the set function can be evaluated for both outer and inner selects.
  If we evaluate SUM(t1.a) for the outer query then we get the value of t1.a
  multiplied by the cardinality of a group in table t1. In this case 
  in each correlated subquery SUM(t1.a) is used as a constant. But we also
  can evaluate SUM(t1.a) for the inner query. In this case t1.a will be a
  constant for each correlated subquery and summation is performed
  for each group of table t2.
  (Here it makes sense to remind that the query
    SELECT c FROM t GROUP BY a HAVING SUM(1) < a 
  is quite legal in our SQL).

  So depending on what query we assign the set function to we
  can get different result sets.

  The general rule to detect the query where a set function is to be
  evaluated can be formulated as follows.
  Consider a set function S(E) where E is an expression with occurrences
  of column references C1, ..., CN. Resolve these column references against
  subqueries that contain the set function S(E). Let Q be the innermost
  subquery of those subqueries. (It should be noted here that S(E)
  in no way can be evaluated in the subquery embedding the subquery Q,
  otherwise S(E) would refer to at least one unbound column reference)
  If S(E) is used in a construct of Q where set functions are allowed then
  we evaluate S(E) in Q.
  Otherwise we look for a innermost subquery containing S(E) of those where
  usage of S(E) is allowed.

  Let's demonstrate how this rule is applied to the following queries.

  1. SELECT t1.a FROM t1 GROUP BY t1.a
       HAVING t1.a > ALL(SELECT t2.b FROM t2 GROUP BY t2.b
                           HAVING t2.b > ALL(SELECT t3.c FROM t3 GROUP BY t3.c
                                                HAVING SUM(t1.a+t2.b) < t3.c))
  For this query the set function SUM(t1.a+t2.b) depends on t1.a and t2.b
  with t1.a defined in the outermost query, and t2.b defined for its
  subquery. The set function is in the HAVING clause of the subquery and can
  be evaluated in this subquery.

  2. SELECT t1.a FROM t1 GROUP BY t1.a
       HAVING t1.a > ALL(SELECT t2.b FROM t2
                           WHERE t2.b > ALL (SELECT t3.c FROM t3 GROUP BY t3.c
                                               HAVING SUM(t1.a+t2.b) < t3.c))
  Here the set function SUM(t1.a+t2.b)is in the WHERE clause of the second
  subquery - the most upper subquery where t1.a and t2.b are defined.
  If we evaluate the function in this subquery we violate the context rules.
  So we evaluate the function in the third subquery (over table t3) where it
  is used under the HAVING clause.

  3. SELECT t1.a FROM t1 GROUP BY t1.a
       HAVING t1.a > ALL(SELECT t2.b FROM t2
                           WHERE t2.b > ALL (SELECT t3.c FROM t3 
                                               WHERE SUM(t1.a+t2.b) < t3.c))
  In this query evaluation of SUM(t1.a+t2.b) is not legal neither in the second
  nor in the third subqueries. So this query is invalid.

  Mostly set functions cannot be nested. In the query
    SELECT t1.a from t1 GROUP BY t1.a HAVING AVG(SUM(t1.b)) > 20
  the expression SUM(b) is not acceptable, though it is under a HAVING clause.
  Yet it is acceptable in the query:
    SELECT t.1 FROM t1 GROUP BY t1.a HAVING SUM(t1.b) > 20.

  An argument of a set function does not have to be a reference to a table
  column as we saw it in examples above. This can be a more complex expression
    SELECT t1.a FROM t1 GROUP BY t1.a HAVING SUM(t1.b+1) > 20.
  The expression SUM(t1.b+1) has a very clear semantics in this context:
  we sum up the values of t1.b+1 where t1.b varies for all values within a
  group of rows that contain the same t1.a value.

  A set function for an outer query yields a constant within a subquery. So
  the semantics of the query
    SELECT t1.a FROM t1 GROUP BY t1.a
      HAVING t1.a IN (SELECT t2.c FROM t2 GROUP BY t2.c
                        HAVING AVG(t2.c+SUM(t1.b)) > 20)
  is still clear. For a group of the rows with the same t1.a values we
  calculate the value of SUM(t1.b). This value 's' is substituted in the
  the subquery:
    SELECT t2.c FROM t2 GROUP BY t2.c HAVING AVG(t2.c+s)
  than returns some result set.

  By the same reason the following query with a subquery 
    SELECT t1.a FROM t1 GROUP BY t1.a
      HAVING t1.a IN (SELECT t2.c FROM t2 GROUP BY t2.c
                        HAVING AVG(SUM(t1.b)) > 20)
  is also acceptable.

 IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

  Three methods were added to the class to check the constraints specified
  in the previous section. These methods utilize several new members.

  The field 'nest_level' contains the number of the level for the subquery
  containing the set function. The main SELECT is of level 0, its subqueries
  are of levels 1, the subqueries of the latter are of level 2 and so on.

  The field 'aggr_level' is to contain the nest level of the subquery
  where the set function is aggregated.

  The field 'max_arg_level' is for the maximun of the nest levels of the
  unbound column references occurred in the set function. A column reference
  is unbound  within a set function if it is not bound by any subquery
  used as a subexpression in this function. A column reference is bound by
  a subquery if it is a reference to the column by which the aggregation
  of some set function that is used in the subquery is calculated.
  For the set function used in the query
    SELECT t1.a FROM t1 GROUP BY t1.a
      HAVING t1.a > ALL(SELECT t2.b FROM t2 GROUP BY t2.b
                          HAVING t2.b > ALL(SELECT t3.c FROM t3 GROUP BY t3.c
                                              HAVING SUM(t1.a+t2.b) < t3.c))
  the value of max_arg_level is equal to 1 since t1.a is bound in the main
  query, and t2.b is bound by the first subquery whose nest level is 1.
  Obviously a set function cannot be aggregated in the subquery whose
  nest level is less than max_arg_level. (Yet it can be aggregated in the
  subqueries whose nest level is greater than max_arg_level.)
  In the query
    SELECT t.a FROM t1 HAVING AVG(t1.a+(SELECT MIN(t2.c) FROM t2))
  the value of the max_arg_level for the AVG set function is 0 since
  the reference t2.c is bound in the subquery.

  The field 'max_sum_func_level' is to contain the maximum of the
  nest levels of the set functions that are used as subexpressions of
  the arguments of the given set function, but not aggregated in any
  subquery within this set function. A nested set function s1 can be
  used within set function s0 only if s1.max_sum_func_level <
  s0.max_sum_func_level. Set function s1 is considered as nested
  for set function s0 if s1 is not calculated in any subquery
  within s0.

  A set function that is used as a subexpression in an argument of another
  set function refers to the latter via the field 'in_sum_func'.

  The condition imposed on the usage of set functions are checked when
  we traverse query subexpressions with the help of the recursive method
  fix_fields. When we apply this method to an object of the class
  Item_sum, first, on the descent, we call the method init_sum_func_check
  that initialize members used at checking. Then, on the ascent, we
  call the method check_sum_func that validates the set function usage
  and reports an error if it is illegal.
  The method register_sum_func serves to link the items for the set functions
  that are aggregated in the embedding (sub)queries. Circular chains of such
  functions are attached to the corresponding st_select_lex structures
  through the field inner_sum_func_list.

  Exploiting the fact that the members mentioned above are used in one
  recursive function we could have allocated them on the thread stack.
  Yet we don't do it now.
  
  We assume that the nesting level of subquries does not exceed 127.
  TODO: to catch queries where the limit is exceeded to make the
  code clean here.
