Hi! POINTER_DIFF_EXPR returns a signed integer, but sadly POINTER_PLUS_EXPR second arguments are unsigned integers, so if we are adding negative numbers to pointers, those are very large numbers and we get TREE_OVERFLOW which the C FE then during c_fully_fold diagnoses.
We want to treat the numbers as signed integers for this purpose, using VCE seems easiest way to get rid of the unwanted overflows. Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux, ok for trunk? Or do you prefer manual fold_converts in the (with { }) block + test for INTEGER_CST && TREE_OVERFLOW + drop_tree_overflow instead? 2018-01-17 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR c/61240 * match.pd ((P + A) - P, P - (P + A), (P + A) - (P + B)): For pointer_diff optimizations use view_convert instead of convert. * gcc.dg/pr61240.c: New test. --- gcc/match.pd.jj 2018-01-15 10:02:04.000000000 +0100 +++ gcc/match.pd 2018-01-17 17:10:54.855061485 +0100 @@ -1832,7 +1832,10 @@ DEFINE_INT_AND_FLOAT_ROUND_FN (RINT) /* The second argument of pointer_plus must be interpreted as signed, and thus sign-extended if necessary. */ (with { tree stype = signed_type_for (TREE_TYPE (@1)); } - (convert (convert:stype @1)))) + /* Use view_convert instead of convert here, as POINTER_PLUS_EXPR + second arg is unsigned even when we need to consider it as signed, + we don't want to diagnose overflow here. */ + (convert (view_convert:stype @1)))) /* (T)P - (T)(P + A) -> -(T) A */ (simplify @@ -1876,7 +1879,10 @@ DEFINE_INT_AND_FLOAT_ROUND_FN (RINT) /* The second argument of pointer_plus must be interpreted as signed, and thus sign-extended if necessary. */ (with { tree stype = signed_type_for (TREE_TYPE (@1)); } - (negate (convert (convert:stype @1))))) + /* Use view_convert instead of convert here, as POINTER_PLUS_EXPR + second arg is unsigned even when we need to consider it as signed, + we don't want to diagnose overflow here. */ + (negate (convert (view_convert:stype @1))))) /* (T)(P + A) - (T)(P + B) -> (T)A - (T)B */ (simplify @@ -1927,7 +1933,11 @@ DEFINE_INT_AND_FLOAT_ROUND_FN (RINT) /* The second argument of pointer_plus must be interpreted as signed, and thus sign-extended if necessary. */ (with { tree stype = signed_type_for (TREE_TYPE (@1)); } - (minus (convert (convert:stype @1)) (convert (convert:stype @2))))))) + /* Use view_convert instead of convert here, as POINTER_PLUS_EXPR + second arg is unsigned even when we need to consider it as signed, + we don't want to diagnose overflow here. */ + (minus (convert (view_convert:stype @1)) + (convert (view_convert:stype @2))))))) /* Simplifications of MIN_EXPR, MAX_EXPR, fmin() and fmax(). */ --- gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/pr61240.c.jj 2018-01-17 17:25:45.821030898 +0100 +++ gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/pr61240.c 2018-01-17 17:26:24.118029550 +0100 @@ -0,0 +1,20 @@ +/* PR c/61240 */ +/* { dg-do compile } */ + +typedef __PTRDIFF_TYPE__ ptrdiff_t; + +ptrdiff_t +foo (ptrdiff_t a[4]) +{ + int i[4]; + int *p = i + 2; + static ptrdiff_t b = p - (p - 1); /* { dg-bogus "integer overflow in expression" } */ + static ptrdiff_t c = (p - 1) - p; /* { dg-bogus "integer overflow in expression" } */ + static ptrdiff_t d = (p - 2) - (p - 1);/* { dg-bogus "integer overflow in expression" } */ + static ptrdiff_t e = (p - 1) - (p - 2);/* { dg-bogus "integer overflow in expression" } */ + a[0] = p - (p - 1); /* { dg-bogus "integer overflow in expression" } */ + a[1] = (p - 1) - p; /* { dg-bogus "integer overflow in expression" } */ + a[2] = (p - 2) - (p - 1); /* { dg-bogus "integer overflow in expression" } */ + a[3] = (p - 1) - (p - 2); /* { dg-bogus "integer overflow in expression" } */ + return b + c + d + e; +} Jakub
