Comment 2 Andrew Pinski 2004-06-27 08:54:14 UTC
Confirmed, here is the reduced testcase:
typedef unsigned long uint32;
int ntbl_bitcnt(uint32 x);
int btbl_bitcnt(uint32 x);
char bits[256];
int btbl_bitcnt(uint32 x)
{
      int cnt = bits[ ((char *)&x)[0] & 0xFF ];
      if (0L != (x >>= 8))
            cnt += btbl_bitcnt(x);
      return cnt;
}

I think this is caused by tail recursion.
Comment 3 Andrew Pinski 2004-07-20 08:52:09 UTC
I get a slightly different ICE now:
pr16225.c: In function `btbl_bitcnt':
pr16225.c:9: internal compiler error: in may_propagate_copy, at tree-ssa-copy.c:130
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions.

Here is a little simpler code:
typedef unsigned long uint32;

int ntbl_bitcnt(uint32 x);
int btbl_bitcnt(uint32 x);

char bits[256];

int btbl_bitcnt(uint32 x)
{
      int cnt = *(char *)&x;

      if (0L != (x >>= 8))
            return btbl_bitcnt(x);
      return cnt;
}

oh it looks like tree-loop-ch which causing this.

Maybe this is the going in and out of ssa which is causing this problem and causing to loose aliasing 
info.
Comment 4 Zdenek Dvorak 2004-07-20 16:17:10 UTC
Indeed there is a problem in tailr that is confused by function argument that
is also used as a name tag.

Since tree-loop-ch does not go into and out of ssa and does not
lose aliasing info, I don't understand the remark at the second bug
(that maybe should get a separate PR?)
Comment 5 Jie Zhang 2004-07-30 06:50:34 UTC
I believe the bug is caused by a problem in alias analysis. At the end of
alias1, TMT.9 might alias x and bits:

    Variable: TMT.9, UID 13, is global, call clobbered, may aliases: { x bits }

and was call-clobbered. However, add_may_alias () failed to set x call-clobbered:

    Variable: x, UID 1, is an alias tag, default def: x_9

This inconsistency resulted in the bug. At the one hand, add_stmt_operand ()
added x as a V_MAY_DEF when renaming variables at the end of alias1 because x
wass an alias of TMT.9 and TMT.9 was call-clobbered. At the other hand, tailr1
pass failed to recognize that x was an alias of a call-clobbered variable. It
was executed.

This patch will make the call-clobbered information consistent and fix this bug.

Comment 6 Giovanni Bajo 2004-07-30 17:28:28 UTC
If the patch is right, it could contain also an update to verify_alias to make 
it catch such situations earlier, in the future.
Comment 7 Jie Zhang 2004-08-01 16:09:43 UTC
I add the following check in verify_flow_insensitive_alias_info (). It shows
that there are some other mark_call_clobbered () call sites, which will fail the
check. I'm going to look them closer.

Comment 8 Giovanni Bajo 2004-08-01 21:33:29 UTC
Diego, can you have a quick look at these patches? At least, if you can comment 
on the patch to verify_flow_insensitive_alias_info, Jie would know whether it 
should work on making it bootstrap fixing the problems it exposes.
Comment 9 Diego Novillo 2004-08-11 15:59:53 UTC
Jie's patch in comment #4 looks OK.  I am working on something related that may
remove this quirk altogether.  We don't deal with call-clobberedness in any
reasonable way right now.

Giovanni's proposal is good, but I'm almost positive that it will trigger ICEs
in the verifier.

Zdenek, if you don't mind, I will assign this PR to myself.  It's not a problem
in your code.

This is OK, provided it passes bootstrap and testing.

Never mind.  The bug is not reproducible anymore.

Well, call-clobberedness and aliasing are not necessarily related.

foo (int i)
{
   int *p, a, b;

   if (i > 10)
     p = &b;
   bar (&a);
   return *p;
}

Suppose that for some reason we couldn't use points-to information and
end up with alias(*p) = { a, b }.  You don't really want the call to
'bar()' to clobber 'b', so marking 'b' call-clobbered is too
pessimistic.

I'm testing a patch to only mark call-clobbered variables whose address
escape.  add_may_alias should not be setting call-clobbered bits.


Diego.
