Bug #32462	Replication of CHAR(64) field with utf8 encoding crashes under RBR

Description:
When replicating a CHAR(64) field with UTF-8 encoding, the slave crashes because it
cannot decode the field correctly. The error occurs after the introduction of 4-byte
UTF-8 fields, but not before. The crash occurs because the length of the field cannot be
decoded correctly. It seems to occur for any form of Field_string field, i.e., also for
BLOB, TEXT, etc.

The binary collation of the 'word' field below is possibly not necessary.

How to repeat:
source include/master-slave.inc;

connection master;
utf8_bin) default charset=utf8;
create table t1 (word char(64) collate utf8_bin) default charset=utf8;
insert into t1 values('foo'),('is'),('a'),('bar');
select * from t1;
sync_slave_with_master;
select * from t1;
connection master;
delete from t1 where word = _binary'foo';
select * from t1;
sync_slave_with_master;
select * from t1;

connection master;
drop table t1;
sync_slave_with_master;

Suggested fix:
Ensure that the field can be decoded correctly even in the presence of 4-byte UTF-8
encodings.

This may be the same bug as Bug#37426

Thank you for the report.

I can not repeat described behavior with today main 6.0 and 6.0-rpl trees. Please
indicate if you use another tree. Also please confirm results of select * from t1; should
differ on master and slave after DELETE.

I can not repeat neither crash, nor inconsistency between master and slave with current
6.0 tree. So close as "Can't repeat"

There is still a disabled test case in 6.0-rpl for this bug.
Re-opening the bug.

Closing bug again since it is a duplicate of BUG#37426 and was fixed as part of that bug.

A patch for this bug has been committed. After review, it may
be pushed to the relevant source trees for release in the next
version. You can access the patch from:
