Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |jakub at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comment #3 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> --- More complete testcase: void bar (int, ...); void f1 (void) { static _Atomic int x = 0; bar (0, x); } void f2 (void) { static _Atomic int x = 0; bar (0, x += 1); } void f3 (void) { static _Atomic int x = 0; bar (x); } void f4 (void) { static _Atomic int x = 0; bar (x += 1); } void f5 (void) { static _Atomic int x = 0; bar (x = 1); } void f6 (void) { static _Atomic int x = 0; x = 1; } void f7 (void) { static _Atomic int x = 0; x += 3; } void f8 (void) { _Atomic int x = 0; bar (0, x); } void f9 (void) { _Atomic int x = 0; bar (0, x += 1); } void f10 (void) { _Atomic int x = 0; bar (x); } void f11 (void) { _Atomic int x = 0; bar (x += 1); } void f12 (void) { _Atomic int x = 0; bar (x = 1); } void f13 (void) { _Atomic int x = 0; x = 1; } void f14 (void) { _Atomic int x = 0; x += 3; } With -D_Atomic= we warn on f6 and f13 and nothing else, otherwise on everything but f1, f3, f8, f10. The reason for not warning on the f{1,3,8,10} is convert_lvalue_to_rvalue: /* EXPR is always read. */ mark_exp_read (exp.value); So for consistency with the non-_Atomic x op= expr at least should mark_exp_read too in build_atomic_assign (i.e. something like: if (modifycode != NOP_EXPR) mark_exp_read (lhs); somewhere early. That results in warning on f{5,6,12,13}, f5 and f12 still being false positives.
