Hi! The following testcase used to be incorrectly accepted. The match.pd optimization that uses address_compare punts on folding comparison of start of one object and end of another one only when those addresses are cast to integral types, when the comparison is done on pointer types it assumes undefined behavior and decides to fold the comparison such that the addresses don't compare equal even when they at runtime they could be equal. But C++ says it is undefined behavior and so during constant evaluation we should reject those, so this patch adds !folding_initializer && check to that spot.
Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux, ok for trunk? Note, address_compare has some special cases, e.g. it assumes that static vars are never adjacent to automatic vars, which is the case for the usual layout where automatic vars are on the stack and after .rodata/.data sections there is heap: /* Assume that automatic variables can't be adjacent to global variables. */ else if (is_global_var (base0) != is_global_var (base1)) ; Is it ok that during constant evaluation we don't treat those as undefined behavior, or shall that be with !folding_initializer && too? Another special case is: if ((DECL_P (base0) && TREE_CODE (base1) == STRING_CST) || (TREE_CODE (base0) == STRING_CST && DECL_P (base1)) || (TREE_CODE (base0) == STRING_CST && TREE_CODE (base1) == STRING_CST && ioff0 >= 0 && ioff1 >= 0 && ioff0 < TREE_STRING_LENGTH (base0) && ioff1 < TREE_STRING_LENGTH (base1) /* This is a too conservative test that the STRING_CSTs will not end up being string-merged. */ && strncmp (TREE_STRING_POINTER (base0) + ioff0, TREE_STRING_POINTER (base1) + ioff1, MIN (TREE_STRING_LENGTH (base0) - ioff0, TREE_STRING_LENGTH (base1) - ioff1)) != 0)) ; else if (!DECL_P (base0) || !DECL_P (base1)) return 2; Here we similarly assume that vars aren't adjacent to string literals or vice versa. Do we need to stick !folding_initializer && to those DECL_P vs. STRING_CST cases? Though, because of the return 2; for non-DECL_P that would mean rejecting comparisons like &var == &"foobar"[3] etc. which ought to be fine, no? So perhaps we need to watch for decls. vs. STRING_CSTs like for DECLs whether the address is at the start or at the end of the string literal or somewhere in between (at least for folding_initializer)? And yet another chapter but probably unsolvable is comparison of string literal addresses. I think pedantically in C++ &"foo"[0] == &"foo"[0] is undefined behavior, different occurences of the same string literals might still not be merged in some implementations. But constexpr const char *s = "foo"; &s[0] == &s[0] should be well defined, and we aren't tracking anywhere whether the string literal was the same one or different (and I think other compilers don't track that either). 2022-01-06 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR c++/89074 * fold-const.c (address_compare): Punt on comparison of address of one object with address of end of another object if folding_initializer. * g++.dg/cpp1y/constexpr-89074-1.C: New test. --- gcc/fold-const.c.jj 2022-01-05 20:30:08.731806756 +0100 +++ gcc/fold-const.c 2022-01-05 20:34:52.277822349 +0100 @@ -16627,7 +16627,7 @@ address_compare (tree_code code, tree ty /* If this is a pointer comparison, ignore for now even valid equalities where one pointer is the offset zero of one object and the other to one past end of another one. */ - else if (!INTEGRAL_TYPE_P (type)) + else if (!folding_initializer && !INTEGRAL_TYPE_P (type)) ; /* Assume that automatic variables can't be adjacent to global variables. */ --- gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/cpp1y/constexpr-89074-1.C.jj 2022-01-05 20:43:03.696917484 +0100 +++ gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/cpp1y/constexpr-89074-1.C 2022-01-05 20:42:12.676634044 +0100 @@ -0,0 +1,28 @@ +// PR c++/89074 +// { dg-do compile { target c++14 } } + +constexpr bool +foo () +{ + int a[] = { 1, 2 }; + int b[] = { 3, 4 }; + + if (&a[0] == &b[0]) + return false; + + if (&a[1] == &b[0]) + return false; + + if (&a[1] == &b[1]) + return false; + + if (&a[2] == &b[1]) + return false; + + if (&a[2] == &b[0]) // { dg-error "is not a constant expression" } + return false; + + return true; +} + +constexpr bool a = foo (); Jakub
