Bug ID: 110546
Summary: Function clone not treated as valid allocator with
-Wmismatched-dealloc
Product: gcc
Version: 13.1.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: diagnostic
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: tree-optimization
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: fw at gcc dot gnu.org
Blocks: 99715
Target Milestone: ---
If compiled with -Wall -Werror -O3, the code below produces the following
diagnostic:
t.c: In function ‘f’:
t.c:16:3: error: ‘dealloc’ called on pointer returned from a mismatched
allocation function [-Werror=mismatched-dealloc]
16 | dealloc (alloc (1));
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
t.c:16:3: note: returned from ‘alloc.constprop’
16 | dealloc (alloc (1));
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I believe this happens because the compiler does not recognize that
alloc.constprop is a valid allocation function for alloc because its internal
name is distinct from the expected name dealloc.
extern void *alloc0 (int n);
void dealloc (void *);
void *__attribute__ ((noinline, malloc (dealloc, 1)))
alloc (int n)
{
if (n <= 0)
__builtin_abort ();
return alloc0 (n);
}
void
f (void)
{
dealloc (alloc (1));
}
