--- Comment #2 from CVS Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by David Malcolm <dmalc...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:ce917b0422c145779b83e005afd8433c0c86fb06 commit r13-4276-gce917b0422c145779b83e005afd8433c0c86fb06 Author: David Malcolm <dmalc...@redhat.com> Date: Wed Nov 23 20:43:33 2022 -0500 analyzer: revamp of heap-allocated regions [PR106473] PR analyzer/106473 reports a false positive from -Wanalyzer-malloc-leak on: void foo(char **args[], int *argc) { *argc = 1; (*args)[0] = __builtin_malloc(42); } The issue is that at the write to *argc we don't know if argc could point within *args, and so we conservatiely set *args to be unknown. At the write "(*args)[0] = __builtin_malloc(42)" we have the result of the allocation written through an unknown pointer, so we mark the heap_allocated_region as having escaped. Unfortunately, within store::canonicalize we overzealously purge the heap allocated region, losing the information that it has escaped, and thus errnoeously report a leak. The first part of the fix is to update store::canonicalize so that it doesn't purge heap_allocated_regions that are marked as escaping. Doing so fixes the leak false positive, but leads to various state explosions relating to anywhere we have a malloc/free pair in a loop, where the analysis of the iteration appears to only have been reaching a fixed state due to a bug in the state merger code that was erroneously merging state about the region allocated in one iteration with that of another. On touching that, the analyzer fails to reach a fixed state on any loops containing a malloc/free pair, since each analysis of a malloc was creating a new heap_allocated_region instance. Hence the second part of the fix is to revamp how heap_allocated_regions are managed within the analyzer. Rather than create a new one at each analysis of a malloc call, instead we reuse them across the analysis, only creating a new one if the current path's state is referencing all of the existing ones. Hence the heap_allocated_region instances get used in a fixed order along every analysis path, so e.g. at: if (flag) p = malloc (4096); else p = malloc (1024); both paths now use the same heap_allocated_region for their malloc calls - but we still end up with two enodes after the CFG merger, by rejecting merger of states with non-equal dynamic extents. gcc/analyzer/ChangeLog: PR analyzer/106473 * call-summary.cc (call_summary_replay::convert_region_from_summary_1): Update for change to creation of heap-allocated regions. * program-state.cc (test_program_state_1): Likewise.
