Description:
After building debug binaries using Visual C++ 2005, I get the following failure when running mysql-test-run. 

Run-Time Check Failure #3 - The variable 'value' is being used without being defined.

I have attached the debugger and the error occurs at line996 of item_func.cc which is the "return value;" statement. Variable value is not written to if argument is null.

How to repeat:
C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe ./mysql-test-run.pl cast

Suggested fix:
Suggest the following change:

Initialize value to 0 in function Item_func_unsigned::val_int();

The statement being executed when the runtime error occurrs is:

select cast(NULL as unsigned), cast(1/0 as unsigned)

  Bug #28250: Run-Time Check Failure #3 - The variable 'value' is being used without 
  being def
  
  Inside method Item_func_unsigned::val_int, the variable value can be returned 
  without being assigned. This gives a run-time error when building debug binaries
  using Visual C++ 2005.
  
  Solution: Initialize value to 0.

  Bug #28250: Run-Time Check Failure #3 - The variable 'value' is 
  being used without being def
  
  Inside method Item_func_unsigned::val_int, the variable value 
  can be returned without being initialized when the CAST argument
  is of type DECIMAL and has a NULL value. This gives a run-time 
  error when building debug binaries using Visual C++ 2005.
  
  Solution: Initialize value to 0
