Description:
The SHOW FUNCTION STATUS command does not return a warning on the 5.X code (e.g. mysql-next-4284) when a function is created that has the same name as a native function. However, the 6.0 code does produce the warning.

Here is a test case:

use test;
create function y(i int) returns int return i * 2;
show warnings;
show function status \G
show warnings;

When run on 6.0 code (e.g. mysql-6.0-backup) you get this:

mysql> use test;
Database changed
mysql> create function y(i int) returns int return i * 2;
Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec)

mysql> show warnings;

EEEK! Where did the warning go? :P

How to repeat:
Run test case above.

Suggested fix:
Unknown

Note: The code that generates the warning in sql_yacc.yy is the same in 5.X and 6.0 so the problem lies elsewhere. Also, this code came into the 5.X tree as a manual merge so there is no obvious ancestor worklog or bug.

Note: The result file for test backup_functions has been changed to match the 5.X behavior. When this bug is fixed, the result file will have to be corrected.

Thank you for the report.

Verified as described.

I tried to reproduce this bug and got the following results:
5.1-bugteam - no warning
mysql-trunk - warning
mysql-next-mr-bugfixing - warning
mysql-next-4284 - warning

So it seems to me that 5.5+ now produces a warning for SHOW FUNCTION STATUS.

I can't repeat it with today update of mysql-next-4284
