In the testcase from the PR we are seeing excessive memory use (> 5GB) during constexpr evaluation, almost all of which is due to the call to decl_constant_value in the VAR_DECL/CONST_DECL branch of cxx_eval_constant_expression. We reach here every time we evaluate an ARRAY_REF of a constexpr VAR_DECL, which in this testcase is quite often, and from there decl_constant_value makes an unshared copy of the VAR_DECL's initializer, even though the unsharing is not needed at this call site (because it is up to callers of cxx_eval_constant_expression to unshare).
To fix this, this patch moves the responsibility of unsharing the result of decl_constant_value, decl_really_constant_value and scalar_constant_value from the callee to the caller. Fortunately there's only six calls to these functions, two of which are from cxx_eval_constant_expression where the unsharing is undesirable. And in unify there is one call, to scalar_constant_value, that looks like: case CONST_DECL: if (DECL_TEMPLATE_PARM_P (parm)) return ...; > if (arg != scalar_constant_value (parm)) return ...; where we are suspiciously testing for pointer equality despite scalar_constant_value's unsharing behavior. This line seems to be dead code however, so this patch replaces it with an appropriate gcc_assert. Finally, this patch adds an explicit call to unshare_expr to the remaining three callers. Now that the the calls to decl_constant_value and decl_really_constant_value from cxx_eval_constant_expression no longer unshare their result, memory use during constexpr evaluation for the testcase in the PR falls from 5GB to 15MB according to -ftime-report. Bootstrapped and regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, and also tested on cmcstl2 and a number of other libraries. Does this look OK to commit? gcc/cp/ChangeLog: PR c++/96197 * cp-gimplify.c (cp_fold_maybe_rvalue): Call unshare_expr on the result of decl_constant_value. * cvt.c: Include gimplify.h. (ocp_convert): Call unshare_expr on the result of scalar_constant_value. * init.c (constant_value_1): Don't call unshare_expr here, so that callers can choose whether to unshare. * pt.c (tsubst_copy): Call unshare_expr on the result of scalar_constant_value. (unify) <case CONST_DECL>: Assert DECL_TEMPLATE_PARM_P and simplify accordingly. --- gcc/cp/cp-gimplify.c | 2 +- gcc/cp/cvt.c | 3 ++- gcc/cp/init.c | 2 +- gcc/cp/pt.c | 9 +++------ 4 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/gcc/cp/cp-gimplify.c b/gcc/cp/cp-gimplify.c index 0e949e29c5c..5c5c44dbc5d 100644 --- a/gcc/cp/cp-gimplify.c +++ b/gcc/cp/cp-gimplify.c @@ -2433,7 +2433,7 @@ cp_fold_maybe_rvalue (tree x, bool rval) tree v = decl_constant_value (x); if (v != x && v != error_mark_node) { - x = v; + x = unshare_expr (v); continue; } } diff --git a/gcc/cp/cvt.c b/gcc/cp/cvt.c index c9e7b1ff044..a7e40a1fa51 100644 --- a/gcc/cp/cvt.c +++ b/gcc/cp/cvt.c @@ -36,6 +36,7 @@ along with GCC; see the file COPYING3.
