So at least for the unrolling use the intent is to have the unreachable () fully elided by later passes. Honza can correct me if I'm wrong. Using __builtin_trap from the start until sanopt may prevent some of that from happening, keeping dead conditions live, no? > Previously we'd always emit __builtin_unreachable, then perhaps in some > cases could e.g. optimize it away (say if there is a guarding condition > around the implicitly added unreachable turning the condition into VRP > info and optimizing the conditional away), otherwise the sanopt pass > would turn those __builtin_unreachable calls into __builtin_trap. > With the recent changes, we don't run the sanopt pass when only > doing -fsanitize=unreachable (or -funrechable-traps) though, so we need > to emit the trap/__ubsan_handle_unreachable/__builtin_unreachable right > away. Why did the recent changes not just replace __builtin_unreachable at RTL expansion time? Was the intent really to force the paths to be kept live? I can see that for user or frontend generated unreachables but not so much for some of the middle-end ones. Richard.
