<div dir="ltr">Hi!<div><br></div><div>This is an artifact of how LLVM works. Essentially, LLVM detects that `var` is unused and deletes it before it tries to lower the `llvm.objectsize` (which is what clang lowers `__builtin_object_size` to) call to a constant. While this isn't ideal, I don't think it realistically a problem, because `var` must be otherwise unused for this behavior to occur, and the whole purpose of objectsize functions (so far) is to insert bounds checks when a variable is used.</div><div><br></div><div>If this quirk is causing real problems for you, please let me know and I'll see what I can do about fixing it. :)</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for pointing this out!</div><div>George</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 9, 2016 at 11:06 AM, Xinliang David Li <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:xinliangli@gmail.com" target="_blank">xinliangli@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">What version of clang/LLVM are you using?

<br>
I have question about __builtin_object_size behaviour. LLVM for __builtin_object_size function doesn't calculate correct value when pointer is used only in __builtin_object_size function call, and never after that. For this case LLVM as result generates 0 or -1 depends of second argument of __builtin_object_size function. Is this correct behaviour or it should work as gcc (gcc calculates correct value for this case) ?<br>
<br>
Example for this issue:<br>
<br>
include <assert.h><br>
int main() {<br>
struct V { char buf1[10];<br>
int b;<br>
char buf2[10];<br>
} var;<br>
<br>
char *p = &var.buf1[1], *q = &var.b;<br>
assert (__builtin_object_size (p, 0) == sizeof (var) - 1);<br>
return 0;<br>
}<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Strahinja<br>
