           Summary: Struct Allocation / Return Bug
           Product: dragonegg
           Version: 2.7
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: New Bugs
        AssignedTo: baldrick at free.fr

Consider the following short program:

struct S1 {
   unsigned char  f0;
   volatile unsigned short  f1;
   short  f2;
};

struct S1  func_9(unsigned short  a)
{
  struct S1 b;
  b.f0 = 1;
  b.f1 = a;
  b.f2 = -4;
  return b;
}

int main (void)
{
    struct S1 k = func_9(5);
    printf("f0 = %d\n", k.f0);
}

In func_9 compiled with dragonegg 2.7,

5 bytes are allocated for struct S1 b (%memtmp2) with the instruction:
%memtmp2 = alloca %"struct S1"

Yet, 8 bytes are accessed when it is being returned:
  %retval = load i64* %22                        
  ret i64 %retval

In some interpreters like klee, this causes a crash.
