Description:
If you create a VIEW that references one and the same table in the FROM clause and in an IN clause, selecting from that view causes server to crash.

How to repeat:
CREATE TABLE t1 (f1 INT NOT NULL);
CREATE VIEW v1 (a) AS SELECT f1 IN (SELECT f1 FROM t1) FROM t1;
SELECT * FROM v1;

Suggested fix:
It appears to me this is a structure initialization issue, because the following sequence does not lead to a crash:

CREATE TABLE t1 (f1 INT NOT NULL);
SELECT f1 IN (SELECT f1 FROM t1) FROM t1;
CREATE VIEW v1 (a) AS SELECT f1 IN (SELECT f1 FROM t1) FROM t1;
SELECT * FROM v1;

That is, if the query from the view is executed as standalone before selecting from the view.

Maybe this is an optimizer bug?

Thank you for a problem report. Had you used a -debug build? I can not repeat the crash with older non-debug 6.0.3 on Windows for example:

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin>mysql -uroot test -P3311
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 4

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

I used a -debug build using the latest BK mysql-6.0 tree.

I am also unable to reproduce this bug if I start the server on my own, however if you run the attached testcase using mysql-test-run --record, the crash will occur.

I was able to repeat it with a freshly cloned and debug-compiled mysql-6.0 tree and mysql-test-run on the attached testcase.

uname is:

Linux philips 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 #1 SMP Wed May 23 22:35:01 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

That is, a 32-bit machine.

Thank you for the report.

Verified as described.

Repeatable on latest mysql-6.0.6 opt-bk.

The reason for crash:

(gdb) p join->conds
$1 = (COND *) 0x0
[28 Apr 2008 21:39] Sergey Petrunya
The actual cause of the problem was that thd->thd_marker was initialized after derived table/VIEW processing. The value of thd->thd_marker is used by semi-join applicability check to determine if the subquery is an AND-part of WHERE clause or or not. Uninitialized value could cause mysqld to conclude that the subquery that is located in the select_list is located in the WHERE, which would later cause crash because of logical inconsistencies.

  BUG#33245: Crash on VIEW referencing FROM table in an IN clause:
  - Initialize thd->thd_marker.emb_on_expr_nest before we process derived tables/VIEWs. The processing
    may invoke in_subquery_predicate->fix_fields() which required thd->thd_marker to have correct value
  - Code cleanup: make thd->thd_marker a union with a member having meaningful type/name
