The function classes for regular expression functions.
They have a common base class Item_func_regexp, which is also the prefix of their class names. After the Item_func prefix comes the name of the SQL function, e.g. Item_func_regexp_instr represents the SQL function REGEXP_INSTR
.
The type and name resolution procedure is hooked into by the Item_func_regexp class, which implement both Item_result_field::resolve_type() and Item::fix_fields().
The regular expression library doesn't deal with collations at all, but we need them because the 'winning' collation of the pattern and the subject strings dictates case-sensitivity. The winning collation is defined by coercion rules, and we don't delve into that here. See Item_func::agg_arg_charsets_for_comparison(). The call to this function is done in resolve_type() as this appears to be an unwritten convention.
All communication with the regular expression library is done through a Regexp_facade object, instantiated in Item_func_regexp::fix_fields().
