Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |jakub at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comment #4 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Sorry, in this case it isn't wrong (that is the passing of char/short case), the __builtin_unreachable () says that negative values are undefined, therefore the compiler can use both sign and zero extension interchangeably. And the undefined signed overflow means when we have: int i; ... ((unsigned long long) (i + 4)) * 4 we can compute it as ((unsigned long long) (i + 4)) * 4 or ((unsigned long long) i) * 4 + 16 because if i is in [INT_MAX - 3, INT_MAX] it is UB.
