Hi! As mentioned by Jason in the PR, non-trivially-copyable types (or non-POD for purposes of layout?) types can be base classes of derived classes in which the padding in those non-trivially-copyable types can be redused for some real data members or even the layout can change and data members can be moved to other positions. __builtin_clear_padding is right now used for multiple purposes, in <atomic> where it isn't used yet but was planned as the main spot it can be used for trivially copyable types only, ditto for std::bit_cast where we also use it. It is used for OpenMP long double atomics too but long double is trivially copyable, and lastly for -ftrivial-auto-var-init=.
The following patch restricts the builtin to pointers to trivially-copyable types, with the exception when it is called directly on an address of a variable, in that case already the FE can verify it is the complete object type and so it is safe to clear all the paddings in it. Bootstrapped/regtested on powerpc64le-linux, ok for trunk? Something like the https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=102586#c16 will still be needed with adjusted testcase from https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=102586#c15 such that __builtin_clear_padding is called directly on var addresses rather than in separate functions. 2022-02-11 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR tree-optimization/102586 gcc/ * doc/extend.texi (__builtin_clear_padding): Clearify that for C++ argument type should be pointer to trivially-copyable type unless it is address of a variable or parameter. gcc/cp/ * call.cc (build_cxx_call): Diagnose __builtin_clear_padding where first argument's type is pointer to non-trivially-copyable type unless it is address of a variable or parameter. gcc/testsuite/ * g++.dg/cpp2a/builtin-clear-padding1.C: New test. --- gcc/doc/extend.texi.jj 2022-02-09 15:16:03.336783697 +0100 +++ gcc/doc/extend.texi 2022-02-11 13:22:39.846157538 +0100 @@ -13993,6 +13993,11 @@ bits that are padding bits for all the u This built-in-function is useful if the padding bits of an object might have intederminate values and the object representation needs to be bitwise compared to some other object, for example for atomic operations. + +For C++, @var{ptr} argument type should be pointer to trivially-copyable +type, unless the argument is address of a variable or parameter, because +otherwise it isn't known if the type isn't just a base class whose padding +bits are reused or laid out differently in a derived class. @end deftypefn @deftypefn {Built-in Function} @var{type} __builtin_bit_cast (@var{type}, @var{arg}) --- gcc/cp/call.cc.jj 2022-02-09 20:13:51.523305107 +0100 +++ gcc/cp/call.cc 2022-02-11 12:58:19.168301395 +0100 @@ -10398,6 +10398,27 @@ build_cxx_call (tree fn, int nargs, tree if (!check_builtin_function_arguments (EXPR_LOCATION (fn), vNULL, fndecl, orig_fndecl, nargs, argarray)) return error_mark_node; + else if (fndecl_built_in_p (fndecl, BUILT_IN_CLEAR_PADDING)) + { + tree arg0 = argarray[0]; + STRIP_NOPS (arg0); + if (TREE_CODE (arg0) == ADDR_EXPR + && DECL_P (TREE_OPERAND (arg0, 0)) + && same_type_ignoring_top_level_qualifiers_p + (TREE_TYPE (TREE_TYPE (argarray[0])), + TREE_TYPE (TREE_TYPE (arg0)))) + /* For __builtin_clear_padding (&var) we know the type + is for a complete object, so there is no risk in clearing + padding that is reused in some derived class member. */; + else if (!trivially_copyable_p (TREE_TYPE (TREE_TYPE (argarray[0])))) + { + error_at (EXPR_LOC_OR_LOC (argarray[0], input_location), + "argument %u in call to function %qE " + "has pointer to a non-trivially-copyable type (%qT)", + 1, fndecl, TREE_TYPE (argarray[0])); + return error_mark_node; + } + } } if (VOID_TYPE_P (TREE_TYPE (fn))) --- gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/cpp2a/builtin-clear-padding1.C.jj 2022-02-11 13:13:49.125471991 +0100 +++ gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/cpp2a/builtin-clear-padding1.C 2022-02-11 13:13:43.403550851 +0100 @@ -0,0 +1,50 @@ +// PR tree-optimization/102586 +// { dg-do compile } +// { dg-options "-Wno-inaccessible-base" } + +struct C0 {}; +struct C1 {}; +struct C2 : C1, virtual C0 {}; +struct C3 : virtual C2, C1 {}; +struct C4 : virtual C3, C1 {}; +struct C5 : C4 {}; +struct C6 { char c; }; +struct C7 : virtual C6, virtual C3, C1 {}; +struct C8 : C7 {}; + +void +foo (C0 *c0, C1 *c1, C2 *c2, C3 *c3, C4 *c4, C5 *c5, C6 *c6, C7 *c7, C8 *c8) +{ + __builtin_clear_padding (c0); + __builtin_clear_padding (c1); + __builtin_clear_padding (c2); // { dg-error "argument 1 in call to function '__builtin_clear_padding' has pointer to a non-trivially-copyable type \\\('C2\\\*'\\\)" } + __builtin_clear_padding (c3); // { dg-error "argument 1 in call to function '__builtin_clear_padding' has pointer to a non-trivially-copyable type \\\('C3\\\*'\\\)" } + __builtin_clear_padding (c4); // { dg-error "argument 1 in call to function '__builtin_clear_padding' has pointer to a non-trivially-copyable type \\\('C4\\\*'\\\)" } + __builtin_clear_padding (c5); // { dg-error "argument 1 in call to function '__builtin_clear_padding' has pointer to a non-trivially-copyable type \\\('C5\\\*'\\\)" } + __builtin_clear_padding (c6); + __builtin_clear_padding (c7); // { dg-error "argument 1 in call to function '__builtin_clear_padding' has pointer to a non-trivially-copyable type \\\('C7\\\*'\\\)" } + __builtin_clear_padding (c8); // { dg-error "argument 1 in call to function '__builtin_clear_padding' has pointer to a non-trivially-copyable type \\\('C8\\\*'\\\)" } +} + +void +bar () +{ + C0 c0; + C1 c1; + C2 c2; + C3 c3; + C4 c4; + C5 c5; + C6 c6; + C7 c7; + C8 c8; + __builtin_clear_padding (&c0); + __builtin_clear_padding (&c1); + __builtin_clear_padding (&c2); + __builtin_clear_padding (&c3); + __builtin_clear_padding (&c4); +// __builtin_clear_padding (&c5); + __builtin_clear_padding (&c6); + __builtin_clear_padding (&c7); + __builtin_clear_padding (&c8); +} Jakub
