Description Gianluigi Tiesi 2012-04-15 04:21:09 UTC
I've switched form mingw gcc 4.6.2 to 4.7.0 and I've noticed that attribute packed does not work anymore as expected, simple testcase:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <inttypes.h>

typedef struct st_tag
{
    uint16_t head __attribute__ ((packed));
    uint8_t type;
    uint16_t flags __attribute__ ((packed));
} st;

int main(void)
{
    st x;
    printf("Structure packing got %u offset, expected 3\n", (unsigned)((char*)&x.flags - (char*)&x));
    return 0;
}

the generated asm is:
        movl    $4, 4(%esp)
        movl    $LC0, (%esp)
        call    _printf

the value is 3 in gcc 4.6.2

Using built-in specs.

Comment 1 daniel.c.klauer 2012-08-18 03:37:01 UTC
I think I may have encountered this issue aswell. For example, given the following example program:


#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>

struct A {
	short s;
	struct { int i; };
} __attribute__((__packed__));

struct B {
	short s;
	struct { int i; } __attribute__((__packed__));
} __attribute__((__packed__));

struct C {
	struct { int i; };
	short s;
} __attribute__((__packed__));

int main() {
	printf("sizeof(struct A) == %i\n", (int)sizeof(struct A));
	printf("sizeof(struct B) == %i\n", (int)sizeof(struct B));
	printf("sizeof(struct C) == %i\n", (int)sizeof(struct C));
	return 0;
}


with TDM-GCC's mingw32 gcc 4.6.1, all sizes are 6, and for comparison, with Ubuntu's i686-linux-gnu gcc 4.6.3, all sizes are 6.

However, with mingw.org's gcc 4.7.0, sizeof(A) == 8. B and C still are 6, as expected; A on the other hand apparently is not being packed, despite the __attribute__((__packed__)).
Comment 2 daniel.c.klauer 2012-08-18 04:00:51 UTC
The -mms-bitfields option seems to trigger the wrong behaviour. As pointed out by http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.7/changes.html it is enabled by default since 4.7.0, and using -mms-bitfields when compiling with TDM-GCC 4.6.1 also causes the wrong behaviour.

In contrast, compiling with -mno-ms-bitfields makes the example programs work as expected under gcc 4.7.0.
Comment 3 Mikael Pettersson 2012-08-18 10:13:20 UTC
I see the same breakage with a self-built gcc-4.7.1 for x86_64-w64-mingw32.
Comment 4 Mikael Pettersson 2012-08-19 20:56:19 UTC
The problem started with the PR27942 fix in r114552:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-06/msg00569.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-cvs/2006-06/msg00268.html
and it affects gcc-4.2.0 up to current trunk.

The problem isn't mingw-specific, it can be reproduced natively on e.g. x86_64-linux.  Take this C test case, reduced from #c1:

struct A {
    short s;
    struct { int i; } x;
} __attribute__((__packed__));

struct C {
    struct { int i; } x;
    short s;
} __attribute__((__packed__));

int foo(void)
{
    return sizeof(struct A) == sizeof(struct C);
}

Compiling this with -mno-ms-bitfields makes foo() return 1, but compiling with -mms-bitfields makes foo() return 0 because sizeof(struct A) then is 8 while sizeof(struct C) still is 6.
Comment 5 Mikael Pettersson 2012-08-22 08:34:46 UTC
The following variation of the test case was compiled with both gcc-4.7.1 and MS Visual Studio 2008:

#include <stdio.h>

#if defined(__GNUC__)
struct A1 {
    short s;
    struct { int i; } x;
} __attribute__((__packed__));
#endif

#pragma pack(1)
struct A2 {
    short s;
    struct { int i; } x;
};
#pragma pack()

int main(void)
{
#if defined(__GNUC__)
    printf("sizeof(struct A1) == %u\n", (unsigned)sizeof(struct A1));
#endif
    printf("sizeof(struct A2) == %u\n", (unsigned)sizeof(struct A2));
    return 0;
}

Note that structs A1 and A2 are identical, except A1 is packed (when compiled by gcc) using the attribute syntax and A2 is packed using the #pragma syntax.

Compiling this with gcc-4.7.1 (target x86_64-w64-mingw32) with -mms-bitfields (which is the default) gives:

sizeof(struct A1) == 8
sizeof(struct A2) == 6

proving that attribute packed doesn't work.  With -mno-ms-bitfields both structs are reported as being 6 bytes.

Compiling with Visual Studio 2008 gives:

sizeof(struct A2) == 6

as expected.
Comment 6 daniel.c.klauer 2012-10-06 23:02:22 UTC
Using the ms_struct attribute instead of compiling with -mms-bitfields reproduces the packing issue, while using the gcc_struct attribute prevents the issue from showing up even under -mms-bitfields.

These struct examples show the packing issue without nested structs:

struct __attribute__((ms_struct, packed)) A {
	int   a;
	short b;
};
struct __attribute__((ms_struct, packed)) B {
	short a;
	int   b;
};

sizeof(struct A) == 6         as expected
sizeof(struct B) == 8         unexpected, expected 6 instead
offsetof(struct B, b) == 4    unexpected, expected 2 instead

A message [1] from the mingw-w64-public mailing list indicates this behaviour:
Only the outer struct is packed, causing padding bytes at its end to be removed as expected, but not the fields: padding bytes in front of a field according to the field's natural alignment are not removed, despite the packed attribute, which is unexpected.

Explicitly packing the fields does not help:

struct __attribute__((ms_struct)) C {
	int   a __attribute__((packed, aligned(1)));
	short b __attribute__((packed, aligned(1)));
};
struct __attribute__((ms_struct)) D {
	short a __attribute__((packed, aligned(1)));
	int   b __attribute__((packed, aligned(1)));
};

sizeof(struct C) == 6         as expected
sizeof(struct D) == 8         unexpected, expected 6 instead
offsetof(struct D, b) == 4    unexpected, expected 2 instead

Let's add in CC target maintainers.
Comment 8 Kai Tietz 2012-12-10 15:13:37 UTC
Yes, there is an issue about record/union attribute packed for ms_struct.

The following patch is fixing that for me, I just do regression-testing.

Comment 9 Richard Henderson 2012-12-18 17:14:37 UTC
It doesn't look to me that the first two hunks of the patch are needed.

The last hunk doesn't look like it should be considering either TYPE_PACKED
of the parent structure, or TYPE_ALIGN of the field type, but rather
using DECL_ALIGN of the field.  Which ought already have been assigned
by layout_decl via update_alignment_for_field.

The biggest problem to me appears to be the entire ms_bitfield_layout_p
block of code there, whose block comments talk about adjusting bitfields,
and yet is firing for structures that contain no bitfields at all.  That
tells me that the logic higher in the block (or elsewere wrt bitfield_layout_p)
is in error.

Yes, that's right.

Well, nothing considers TYPE_PACKED of the parent structure for ms_struct.  The field's type-alignment needs to be considered for checking, if type has user-specified alignment AFAICS.

That isn't the fully story for ms_struct here, the ms_biffield_layout_p block has  as internal packing of same-types - that's not related to aligned or packed attributes at all - and needs to be done dependent to its offset, when type's offset is known.   So there is no logical-error in this code, beside.  Nevertheless I admit that the ms_struct code-path and the gnu_struct code-path could win by separating them, and for both some documention about used schema in source would be great.

In general it would be great to have somebody with a VC, who would be willing to compile some test-cases by this VC.  The documention about structure-layout on msdn it pretty poor and most stuff needs to be collected or done via best-guess.  User-specified alignment within structures (not via #pragma pack) seems to be introduced in recent VC versions, so tester should have a modern version.

Testcase for bitfield and type-packing

This first testcase checking pack-pragma for x64/x86 MS-struct layout.
I got this testcase verified by a VC user.  It was verified with VC10, VC11, and (Nov2012_CTP).
(Btw no regression with my suggested patch applied).

Ping -- there's been a patch for this bug for almost 10 months now...
Comment 15 roger pack 2013-12-12 15:32:56 UTC
So is the problem here that -mms-bitfields became the default, which caused difficulties, or that -mms-bitfields is broken? (if the latter, does using gcc_struct everywhere cause the right behavior?)  Sorry I'm a bit clueless here.  Thanks!
Comment 16 Kai Tietz 2013-12-12 15:48:55 UTC
ms-bitfield is broken regarding pack-attribute and align-attribute.  Later is the cause why suggested patch is just half of the story.

This bug report is now over three years old. Any progress? I'm still seeing it in 5.1.0.

Should the summary also be updated to reflect that this is a regression?

And should the default be reverted until the code can be fixed?
Comment 20 m.facchin 2016-02-12 10:21:03 UTC
I just hit this bug on dfu-util 0.8 (i686-w64-mingw32 5.3.0)

The patch has been available for 3 years now, but if you don't want to apply that patch please apply at least the workaround (reverting to -mno-ms-bitfields as default)
Comment 21 Ladislav Láska 2017-05-19 12:51:23 UTC
Hi!

I'm still seeing this problem on recent release 6.3.1, and it seems to be enabled by default on at least some builds (msys2 for example). 

Can I help somehow to get this into trunk sooner?

Thanks!

everyone uses -mno-ms-bitfields nowadays
Comment 23 Ladislav Láska 2017-06-13 07:14:29 UTC
Not everyone, ms bitfields are enabled by default on MINGW architectures, making the "packed" attribute broken by default and without a warning.

If everyone really uses -mno-ms-bitfields, it should become the default and possibly removed, or the documentation fixed to warn everyone that using it will break stuff.
Comment 24 Richard Biener 2017-06-13 07:28:43 UTC
This is a regression even if the bug was latent with -mms-bitfields.

but rather with r114364 which revamped the ms bitfield layout completely.
See https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-04/msg01064.html for more info.
The above testcase indeed passes with -D_WIN32 -mms-bitfields when built with GCC 4.1 or earlier.

Ignoring the type_align bump in place_field for DECL_PACKED fields sounds reasonable, just the formatting is wrong (needs a space in between DECL_PACKED and (field)).

In the second hunk, the formatting is also wrong (e.g. a single statement body of else shouldn't be wrapped with {}s around it), but more importantly it is unclear why that would be the right thing, e.g. why is ignoring maximum_field_alignment the right thing etc.

So, for the first two hunks in #c26 I'd go with:

instead.

The #c26 third hunk is I presume instead something that was probably broken only in GCC 4.6 with r184409 aka PR52238 fix.  That 
if (targetm.ms_bitfield_layout_p (rli->t))
  rli->prev_field = NULL;
in that patch looks wrong to me, you lose all the special handling of rli->prev_field that way.

Before trying to deal with that, I think it is important to figure out what VC does for the case when a bitfield is followed by another bitfield with the same underlying type size, but higher alignment.

E.g. how is:
struct S {
  int a : 2;
  __declspec(align(8)) int b : 2;
  int c : 28;
  __declspec(align(16)) int d : 2;
  int e : 30;
} s;
int a = sizeof (struct S);
void f1 (int x) { s.a = x; }
void f2 (int x) { s.b = x; }
void f3 (int x) { s.c = x; }
void f4 (int x) { s.d = x; }
void f5 (int x) { s.e = x; }
compiled by VC?  Godbolt.org seems to be down right now, checking some clang version with -fms-extensions -mms-bitfields shows that the differences in type alignments don't break the bitfield packs, a, b, c are all packed into a single 32-bit word at offset 0, then d and e are packed into another 32-bit word at offset 16 (so the alignment is honored for the first bitfield in the pack).

If that is what VC does, then one way to deal with this would be to replace:
  if (known_align < desired_align)
with
  if (known_align < desired_align
      && (!targetm.ms_bitfield_layout_p (rli->t)
          || rli->prev_field == NULL))
drop the
      if (targetm.ms_bitfield_layout_p (rli->t))
        rli->prev_field = NULL;
and deal with the further alignment (basically duplicate the if (known_align < desired_align body)) later.

fixes this testcase, but breaks bf-ms-layout.c and bf-ms-layout-2.c.
The tests were adjusted in r186880 and r184519, but perhaps those were just bogus changes.  I guess what matters more is whether the layout in those tests and in the above tests match what VC does.
Comment 29 Jakub Jelinek 2018-02-27 18:03:27 UTC
Created attachment 43522 [details]
gcc8-pr52991.patch

Full untested patch (except for
make check-gcc RUNTESTFLAGS='--target_board=unix\{-m32,-m64\} dg.exp=attr-ms*'
on x86_64-linux), though this really needs to be double-checked against what VC does, on all the changed testcases.
Comment 30 Benjamin Robin 2018-02-27 18:51:25 UTC
The test cases bf-ms-layout.c and bf-ms-layout-2.c are valid.
You can test it with an online compiler, for example: http://rextester.com/l/c_online_compiler_visual
Comment 31 Jakub Jelinek 2018-02-27 21:42:45 UTC
Thanks for the hint.

So:
#include <stdio.h>

struct S {
  int a : 2;
  __declspec(align(8)) int b : 2;
  int c : 28;
  __declspec(align(16)) int d : 2;
  int e : 30;
} s;
int a = sizeof (struct S);
void f1 (int x) { s.a = x; }
void f2 (int x) { s.b = x; }
void f3 (int x) { s.c = x; }
void f4 (int x) { s.d = x; }
void f5 (int x) { s.e = x; }

void
printme (void)
{
    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < sizeof (s); ++i)
        printf ("%02x, ", ((unsigned char *) &s)[i]);
    printf ("\n");
}

int
main ()
{
    printf ("%d\n", (int) sizeof (s));
    s.a = -1; printme ();
    s.a = 0; s.b = -1; printme ();
    s.b = 0; s.c = -1; printme ();
    s.c = 0; s.d = -1; printme ();
    s.d = 0; s.e = -1; printme ();
    return 0;
}

which is the patched version of bf-ms-layout-2.c (with ATTR defined to nothing for non-__GNUC__), again the unpatched version fails.

URL: https://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs?rev=258075&root=gcc&view=rev
Log:
	PR target/52991
	* stor-layout.c (update_alignment_for_field): For
	targetm.ms_bitfield_layout_p (rli->t), if !is_bitfield
	&& !DECL_PACKED (field), do the alignment update, just use
	only desired_align instead of MAX (type_align, desired_align)
	as the alignment.
	(place_field): Don't do known_align < desired_align handling
	early if targetm.ms_bitfield_layout_p (rli->t) and rli->prev_field
	is non-NULL, instead do it after rli->prev_field handling and
	only if not within a bitfield word.  For DECL_PACKED (field)
	use type_align of BITS_PER_UNIT.

	* gcc.dg/bf-ms-layout.c: Revert 2012-04-26 changes.
	* gcc.dg/bf-ms-layout-2.c: Revert 2012-02-23 changes.
	* gcc.dg/bf-ms-layout-4.c: New test.

Comment 33 Jakub Jelinek 2018-02-28 17:25:04 UTC
Hopefully fixed in GCC 8.  It is an ABI change, so not going to backport it.
Comment 34 Benjamin Robin 2018-02-28 20:32:05 UTC
Thank you a lot for the fix.
I have no idea what I did yesterday when I did test bf-ms-layout-2.c (Yes the test was wrong, and by default cannot compile under Visual Studio VC)

The test can be slightly improved by replacing:

#ifdef __GNUC__
#define ATTR __attribute__ ((ms_struct))
#endif

By:

#ifdef __GNUC__
# ifdef _TEST_MS_LAYOUT
#  define ATTR __attribute__ ((ms_struct))
# else
#  define ATTR __attribute__ ((gcc_struct))
# endif
#else
# define ATTR
#endif

Otherwise the else branch of "#if defined (_TEST_MS_LAYOUT) || defined (_MSC_VER)" cannot be tested easily.
And even more important, it can be directly compiled with Visual Studio VC (VC does not known what is ATTR)
