Not really.
Check, for example, sys_max_prepared_stmt_count - it's
sys_var_long_ptr_global, sys_var_long_ptr_global::check() calls
get_unsigned(), which executes
var->save_result.ulonglong_value= (ulonglong) var->value->val_int();
this calculates the value of the 'Item *value' directly as an integer,
it's not stored as a string.

No, you are not wrong. String values - for variables that store
strings - are currently taken from var->value->str_value
(incidentally, it's a bug, but let's assume this is how it should work :)
Numeric values are obtained by calling var->value->val_int()
(or ->val_real(), or val->decimal(), whatever appropriate).

Why do you need to find it ? Can you just call ::value_ptr() and
::check()/::update() ?

Want to chat on irc ?
You could quickly get answers to your questions this way.
You can find me on freenet, #mysql-dev channel.

let's try to solve it together on irc

ok, let's do "normal" server variables first.
