OLD VALUE OF INPUT PARAMETER. The user-visible problem was that CASE-control-flow function (not CASE-statement) misbehaved in stored routines under some circumstances. The problem resulted in a crash or wrong data returned. The error happened when expressions in CASE-function were not of the same character set. A CASE-function should return values of the same character set for all branches. Internally, that means a new Item-instance for the CONVERT(... USING <some charset>)-function is added to the item tree when needed. The problem was that such changes were not properly recorded using THD::change_item_tree(), thus dangling pointers remain in the item tree after THD::rollback_item_tree_changes(), which lead to undefined behavior (i.e. crash / wrong data) for subsequent executions of the stored routine. This bug was introduced by a patch for Bug 11753363 (44793 - CHARACTER SETS: CASE CLAUSE, UCS2 OR UTF32, FAILURE). The fixed function is Item_func_case::fix_length_and_dec(). New CONVERT-items are added in agg_item_set_converter(), which calls THD::change_item_tree(). The problem was that an intermediate array was passed to agg_item_set_converter(). Thus, THD::change_item_tree() there was called on intermediate objects. Note: those intermediate objects are allocated on THD's memory root, so it's Ok to put them into "changed item lists". The fix is to track changes on the correct objects.
