Constant expressions in WHERE/HAVING/ON clauses aren't cached and evaluated for each row. This causes slowdown of query execution especially if constant UDF/SP function are used. Now WHERE/HAVING/ON expressions are analyzed in the top-bottom direction with help of the compile function. When analyzer meets a constant item it sets a flag for the tree transformer to cache the item and doesn't allow tree walker to go deeper. Thus, the topmost item of a constant expression if cached. This is done after all other optimizations were applied to WHERE/HAVING/ON expressions A helper function called cache_const_exprs is added to the JOIN class. It calls compile method with caching analyzer and transformer on WHERE, HAVING, ON expressions if they're present. The cache_const_expr_analyzer and cache_const_expr_transformer functions are added to the Item class. The first one check if the item can be cached and the second caches it if so. A new Item_cache_datetime class is derived from the Item_cache class. It caches both int and string values of the underlying item independently to avoid DATETIME aware int-to-string conversion. Thus it completely relies on the ability of the underlying item to correctly convert DATETIME value from int to string and vice versa.
