    Description

      Our current grammar in sql_yacc.yy uses LEX_STRING to return TEXT_STRING and NCHAR_STRING terminal symbols from the tokenizer, and additionally uses Lex->text_string_is_7bit to know a difference between 7bit and 8bit strings (for optimization purposes).

      This approach is error prone. Changes in the grammar that require more look-ahead can put Lex->text_string_is_7bit out of sync from bison variables ($1, $2, $3 etc), so for example Lext->text_string_is_7bit already corresponds to $2 instead of expected $1.

      A safe approach would be to return the LEX_STRING and the corresponding 7/8 bit flag as a single structure like this:

      struct Lex_string_with_metadata_st: public LEX_STRING
      {
        bool m_is_8bit;
      public:
        void set_8bit(bool is_8bit) { m_is_8bit= is_8bit; }
        // Get string repertoire by the 8-bit flag and the character set
        uint repertoire(CHARSET_INFO *cs) const
        {
          return !m_is_8bit && my_charset_is_ascii_based(cs) ?
                 MY_REPERTOIRE_ASCII : MY_REPERTOIRE_UNICODE30;
        }
        // Get string repertoire by the 8-bit flag, for ASCII-based character sets
        uint repertoire() const
        {
          return !m_is_8bit ? MY_REPERTOIRE_ASCII : MY_REPERTOIRE_UNICODE30;
        }
      };
      

      and use this structure for TEXT_STRING and NCHAR_STRING.

      The problem was revealed by valgrind in the bb-10.2-compatibility branch when extending this rule:

      sp_proc_stmt_return:
          RETURN_SYM expr
        ;
      

      to

      sp_proc_stmt_return:
          RETURN_SYM expr
        | RETURN_SYM /* from a procedure */
        ;
      

      Before making changes in the grammar we should fix this problem.
