You could've optimized it to `limit 0`
but I guess it's not a particularly common use case

can you add a test for `select a, rownum() from t1 limit 4, 4` please ?

why is that? `handler t1 read next limit 2` works just fine.

first, I suspect that you want to put your accepted_rows declaration
before the comment that applies to sortorder.

second, could you do a bit more than just "For ROWNUM"?
why do you need something "for ROWNUM" inside Filesort?

first, as I wrote above, I think that there's no logical reason why rownum should
not with with handler.

but even if it doesn't, it's much better to check for SQLCOM_HA_READ
from Item_func_rownum::fix_fields instead of traversing the whole
item tree for every single HANDLER READ command looking for Item_func_rownum
that nobody (literally, not a single user out of all our millions) will use there.

It looks wrong. We don't have any other Item that returns `this` here.
I think rownum cannot be pushed down because of RAND_TABLE_BIT,
So better return NULL here, meaning "cannot be pushed down".
Instead of `this` meaning "if you push it down, it'll surreptitiously
start corrupting the memory"

So this isn't a virtual method, and to use it you downcast after checking
type() == FUNC_ITEM and functype() == ROWNUM_FUNC. To avoid adding a new
virtual method thus blowing up the vtable, I presume.

And fix_after_optimize() is virtual. To avoid error-prone downcasting, would
be my guess.

Can you explain when you use what approach, please?

this is a very weird explanation, it sounds as if it's
a heuristical a hack for ROWNUM <=1 to work

Why not to write "+1 takes into account the currently computed row"

Why? ROWNUM doesn't make a query uncacheable, it's perfectly
deterministic and repeatable.

Why? It's the same as LIMIT. unsafe without ORDER BY and perfectly safe with.

why do you need both that and fix_rownum_pointers()?
I'd think that the latter alone would be sufficient

Note that info.copied can be incremented more than once per row (in INSERT...ON
DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE, for example). This will probably break rownum logic.

this is quite silly. Can you simply increment info->copied after this

I suppose, alternatively, you could've had

You have two nearly identical rules compiled conditionally.
I can pretty much guarantee that they'll go out of sync eventually.

Better do something like

    oracle_optional_braces: optional_braces ;
 End SQL_MODE_ORACLE_SPECIFIC */
 /* Start SQL_MODE_DEFAULT_SPECIFIC */
    oracle_optional_braces: '(' ')' ;

or even

        | ROWNUM_SYM

          optional_braces

/* Start SQL_MODE_DEFAULT_SPECIFIC */

no merging if no rownum but there's group by or order by?
group by - this is obvious, and is already checked earlier in this if()
order by - why?

Is there any particular reason why you put that between

   DEBUG_SYNC(thd, "before_join_optimize");

and

   THD_STAGE_INFO(thd, stage_optimizing);

?
I'd expect them logically to go directly one after the other

No need to explain in a comment why something that is no longer here was removed.
Use git for that, commit comments. The code comment should explain the code as it is.

why do you need rand_table_in_field_list instead of writing

is_basic_const() is a misleading name, a function of basic consts isn't
a basic const itself.

what's an example of an expression has is_const() == true, but
is_basic_const() == false?

1. what if the outer select uses LIMIT, not ROWNUM?
   why not to push that down too?

2. why are you not removing rownum from the outer select?
   if you remove rownum and reset with_rownum=false, it'll generally
   give optimizer more freedom.
