            Bug ID: 44193
           Summary: the -isysroot parameter causes -I directories to be
                    ignored
           Product: clang
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Macintosh
                OS: MacOS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: -New Bugs

I'm using Xcode on macOS and have analyzed a problem where a wrong header file
is included into my code. I think that I have located the root cause in clang
which does not always seem to adhere to the header file search path order when
the -isysroot parameter is used (as it is by Xcode).

My understanding is that the preprocessor searches the header file search
directories for a file to include in the order in which they were specified
with -I parameters. So if header files with the same name are located in
different header file search directories, clang will go through the directories
in the order in which they were specified with -I parameters and will import
the file from the first directory in which it is found.

This works fine until the -isysroot parameter is used as well. In this case, a
-I directory that is located within the new root seems to be ignored, so that
the include file is taken from a different dictionary than expected.

I do not understand why using the -isysroot parameter would cause header search
directories to be ignored. To me this seems to be a bug.


To reproduce:

Setup:
mkdir -p sdk/usr/include opt/local/include usr/include
echo "VERSION=1" > sdk/usr/include/version.h
echo "VERSION=2" > opt/local/include/version.h
echo "VERSION=3" > usr/include/version.h
echo "
#include <version.h>

main() {
}
" > test.c


Test 1 (the expected file is included, VERSION=1):
clang -E -Isdk/usr/include -Iopt/local/include test.c


Test 2 (added -isysroot. The wrong file is included, VERSION=2):
clang -E -isysroot sdk -Isdk/usr/include -Iopt/local/include test.c


Test 3 (inserted another directory in the middle. The wrong file is included,
VERSION=3):
clang -E -isysroot sdk -Isdk/usr/include -Iusr/include -Iopt/local/include
test.c


Test 4 (it's not the first folder after the -isysroot parameter that is
ignored. The wrong file is included, VERSION=3):
clang -E -isysroot sdk -Iusr/include -Isdk/usr/include -Iopt/local/include
test.c


clang -v
Apple clang version 11.0.0 (clang-1100.0.33.12)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin18.7.0

InstalledDir:
