Commit Message

Jeff Law June 20, 2019, 10:23 p.m. UTC
As outlined in the BZ, our alias analysis code is context insensitive.
So when we copy-propagate pointers, we can can and do copy PTA
information from members to the representative pointer in the copy-of
chain (we do this when the representative pointer has no associated PTA
information).

However, [E]VRP can set the non-nullness of a pointer using context
sensitive information.  So we have to be more careful when copying PTA
information.

We already have similar issues with alignment information as well.  This
patch just extends the hack to avoid copying alignment information in
some circumstances to also avoid copying the non-nullness property.

Bootstrapped and regression tested on x86_64-linux-gnu.  OK for the trunk?

Jeff
* tree-ssa-copy.c (fini_copy_prop): Call clear_ptr_nonnull as needed.
	* tree-ssanames.c (clear_ptr_nonnull): New function.
	* tree-ssanames.h (clear_ptr_nonnull): Declare.

	* gcc.c-torture/execute/pr90949.c: New test.

Shouldn't space be declared as an array of char rather than char*?
(As it is, strictly speaking, accessing it via an lvalue of type
Node is undefined, even if it's carefully hidden from the compiler
by the attributes.)

I think this should be done in reset_flow_sensitive_info () as well
and tree-ssa-copy.c should use that function instead of calling
mark_ptr_info_alignment_unknown.

I'd probably avoid the new clear_ptr_nonnull function since it might make
people miss the other half (alignment).

Otherwise looks OK.

Richard.

Yup.  I'll fix it.

Doesn't really matter in the end.  In fact there's really not a reason
why this has to return char * or void * since it's really not malloc.
We could have struct Nodes.  I'll fix that too.

OK.  Agreed that's better -- one centralized routine to reset this stuff
if we find more over time.

OK.  Presumably you just want to twiddle the field directly?   THat's
easy 'nuff.

Given that reset_flow_sensitive_info is used in a variety of other
places, the requested changes seemed well past the line that required
another bootstrap & regression test, which went fine.

Attached is what I actually installed.  I'll backport to gcc-9 after a
few days.  I'll need to look at a gcc-8 to see if it's potentially
needed there as well.
