Description:
Calling a stored procedure that :
- has an exception handler for warnings
- generates a warning
results in a query that reports the warning, where it should be silenced
by the exception handler.

See the email attachments for a precise use case and discussion about this.

How to repeat:

Actually it appears that you did repeat it.
I meant "the INSERT statement within the stored procedure".

See -- it sees "1 warning". There was no reset.

No. Now, another example:

mysql> delimiter //
mysql> create table t58 (s1 int)//
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> create procedure p58 () begin declare continue handler for
sqlwarning select 'warning'; insert into t58 values
(99999999999999999999); end//
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.41 sec)

mysql> call p58()//
+---------+
| warning |
+---------+
| warning |
+---------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

Notice it doesn't say "Query OK, 1 row affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec)".

I guess, then, that you didn't find this is a duplicate of an
earlier bug. Please flip a coin, and then tell me whether you
will report it or I should report it.

Analysis

The following warning:
Warning        1287    'TYPE=storage_engine' is deprecated; use 'ENGINE=storage_engine' instead
is raised by the parser, when executing the CREATE PROCEDURE statement,
so it's expected that this warning is not caught by any exception handler inside the stored procedure.

Investigating this report, however, exposed the following:
when a statement raise both a warning and an exception,
- the exception handler for the warning is found, and recorded in
sp_rcontext::m_hfound
- the exception handler for the error is *not* looked up, because of

bool
sp_rcontext::find_handler(THD *thd, uint sql_errno,
                          MYSQL_ERROR::enum_warning_level level)
{
  if (m_hfound >= 0)
    return 1;                   // Already got one

...

Later, the handler for the warning is executed, but the handler for the exception is not executed.

  Bug#21801 SQL exception handlers and warnings
  
  The problem is that deprecated syntax warnings were not being
  suppressed when the stored routine is being parsed for the first
  execution. It's doesn't make sense to print out deprecated
  syntax warnings when the routine is being executed because this
  kind of warning only matters when the routine is being created.
  
  The solution is to suppress deprecated syntax warnings when
  parsing the stored routine for loading into the cache (might
  mean that the routine is being executed for the first time).

Note that there are no deprecated warnings in 6.0, pushing with test case disabled.

Noted in 5.1.24 changelog.

Warnings for deprecated syntax constructs used in stored routines
make sense to report only when the routine is being created, but they
were also being reported when the routine was parsed for loading into
the execution cache. Now they are reported only at routine creation
time.
