            Bug ID: 37766
           Summary: Uninitialized bool values accessed by optimizer
           Product: clang
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: -New Bugs

This happens with v3.8.0 and in 6.0.0 git version from 13 Sep 2017, so I'd
expect it to still happen with newer versions. Using valgrind shows that the
"set" variable is accessed, even though ret==false always so it's not supposed
to be accessed. Doesn't happen if foo() is in the same .c file.

/* test2.c */
#include <stdbool.h>
_Bool foo(_Bool *value_r)
{
        return false;
}

/* test.c */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

_Bool foo(_Bool *value_r);

int main(void)
{
        bool set;
        bool ret = foo(&set);
        if (ret && set)
                printf("foo\n");
        if (!ret)
                return 1;
        return 0;
}

clang test2.c -c -o test2.o
clang -O2 -g test.c test2.o -o test
valgrind ./test
