But __builtin_trap uses vops, isn't const, just leaf/noreturn/nothrow/cold.
This is I believe so that when users explicitly use __builtin_trap in their
sources they get stores visible at the trap side.
-fsanitize=unreachable -fsanitize-undefined-trap-on-error used to transform
__builtin_unreachable to __builtin_trap even in the past, but the sanopt pass
has TODO_update_ssa, so it worked fine.
Now that gimple_build_builtin_unreachable can build a __builtin_trap call
right away, we can run into problems that whenever we need it we would need
to either manually or through TODO_update* ensure the vops being updated.
Though, as it is originally __builtin_unreachable which is just implemented
as trap, I think for this case it is fine to avoid vops. For this the
patch introduces IFN_TRAP, which has ECF_* flags like __builtin_unreachable
and is expanded as __builtin_trap.
Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux, ok for trunk?
I think for the sake of sanitizing unreachable as trap this is OK
but it seems this isn't actually what is done.
We chose to sanitize not just explicit user __builtin_unreachable calls,
but also the internally generated __builtin_unreachable calls (with the
one exception of fall through to end of C++ function returning non-void,
which had before a separate sanitizer) and we've been doing it since 2013
when ubsan was added.
Even for the internally generated unreachable calls like those from
devirtualization or other reasons like ivcanon/unrolling, having the
possibility to get some runtime diagnostics or trap can be useful over
just falling through to random following code.
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.
Yes, the intent was to force user and frontend generated unreachables to
be kept live, particularly the one for flowing off the end of a non-void
function. I have also wondered if treating middle-end unreachables the
same was a mistake.
