           Summary: Miscompilation with -O1 and above
           Product: clang
           Version: trunk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: -New Bugs

I've hit a test failure with libsigsegv that I get with clang but not gcc 4.4.
Its main author, Bruno Haible, has been so kind to analyse this problem. Here
is what he wrote to me:

--------------------

I have clang version 1.0 installed:
$ clang --version
clang version 1.0 (http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk 81046)
Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix

and what I find is that 'clang' is miscompiling the 'switch' statement of
tests/stackoverflow2.c when -O1 or higher is enabled.

How to reproduce:
- Fetch libsigsegv-2.8.tar.gz from ftp.gnu.org,
- Configure it with "mkdir build; cd build; ../configure CC=clang"
- "make"
- "make check"

When the stackoverflow2 program is compiled like this:

  clang -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../tests -I.. -I../src    -g -c
../../tests/stackoverflow2.c \
  && /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC   --mode=link clang  -g   -o stackoverflow2
stackoverflow2.o ../src/libsigsegv.la

it works fine.

When it is compiled like this:

  clang -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../tests -I.. -I../src    -g -O1 -c
../../tests/stackoverflow2.c \
  && /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC   --mode=link clang  -g -O1   -o
stackoverflow2 stackoverflow2.o ../src/libsigsegv.la

it runs into the abort() call.

It happens when setjmp() returns with a value of 3.

The source code is:

===============================================================================
int
main ()
{
  ...

  /* Provoke two stack overflows in a row.  */
  switch (setjmp (mainloop))
    {
    case -1:
      printf ("emergency exit\n"); exit (1);
    case 0: case 1:
      printf ("Starting recursion pass %d.\n", pass + 1);
      recurse (0);
      printf ("no endless recursion?!\n"); exit (1);
    case 2:
      *(volatile int *) (page + 0x678) = 42;
      break;
    case 3:
      *(volatile int *) 0 = 42;
      break;
    case 4:
      break;
    default:
      abort ();
    }

  printf ("Test passed.\n");
  exit (0);
}

In the case that works, without optimization, the code looks like this:

All right.

With -O1, the code looks like this:

===============================================================================

Here you can see, the entry 0x401a08[4] - which is used when setjmp's return
value is 3, is 0x400f69, which is the 'default:' case. You can see that the
compiler eliminated this part of the switch statement:

    case 3:
      *(volatile int *) 0 = 42;
      break;

This may be valid for ISO C 99 programs (because a NULL pointer access is
invalid in ISO C 99), but in a POSIX program it is not valid to remove this
- because the program may rely on the fact that a signal handler is called.
Which is the case here.

---------------------

The problem is the same with clang version 2.0 (trunk 105896).
