背景
在 https://mengkang.net/1328.html 实验中，我们通过 optimizer_trace 发现 group by 会使用 intermediate_tmp_table，而且里面的的 row_length 是 20，抱着 ” 打破砂锅问到底 ” 的求学精神，所以想通过 gdb 调试源码的方式看这个 row_length 为什么是 20.
通过 row_length 关键字，我定位到了 mysql 5.7 源码里面的 sql/sql_tmp_table.cc 文件

总结
原来和 group by 没关系，只因为我 sql 种使用了 sum 行数，使得 num 字段类型是 MYSQL_TYPE_NEWDECIMAL
The SUM() and AVG() functions return a DECIMAL value for exact-value arguments (integer or DECIMAL), and a DOUBLE value for approximate-value arguments (FLOAT or DOUBLE). (Before MySQL 5.0.3, SUM() and AVG() return DOUBLE for all numeric arguments.)
但是通过我们上面打印信息可以看到两个字段的长度加起来是 19，而 reclength 是 20。通过其他实验也发现 table->s->reclength 的长度就是 table->field 数组里面所有字段的字段长度和再加 1。
