The following test case, when compiled with g++ -O, has a return
value of 1 (instead of the correct value of 0):
struct test
{
int type;
char buffer[4242]; /* should trigger pass-by-reference */
};
int flag = 0;
struct test
reset (void)
{
struct test retval;
retval.type = 1;
return retval;
}
struct test
test (void)
{
struct test result;
result.type = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 2; ++i)
{
struct test candidate = reset ();
if (flag)
result = candidate;
}
return result;
}
int
main (void)
{
struct test result = test ();
return result.type;
}
The reason for this appears to be a bug in the tree-nrv (named
return value) optimization pass. Before tree-nrv, the function
test looks like:
struct test candidate;
int i;
int flag.0;
<bb 2>:
<retval>.type = 0;
flag.0 = flag;
i = 0;
<L0>:;
candidate = reset () [return slot optimization];
if (flag.0 != 0) goto <L1>; else goto <L2>;
<L1>:;
<retval> = candidate;
<L2>:;
i = i + 1;
if (i != 2) goto <L0>; else goto <L5>;
<L5>:;
return <retval>;
After tree-nrv, we have:
struct test candidate;
int i;
int flag.0;
<bb 2>:
<retval>.type = 0;
flag.0 = flag;
i = 0;
<L0>:;
<retval> = reset () [return slot optimization];
if (flag.0 != 0) goto <L1>; else goto <L2>;
<L1>:;
<L2>:;
i = i + 1;
if (i != 2) goto <L0>; else goto <L5>;
<L5>:;
return <retval>;
The return value of reset has been redirected directly
into the return value slot of test, instead of the local
variable candidate. tree-nrv.c has some code that is
apparently intended to prevent this type of thing; I'm
not sure why that didn't work here.
The bug occurs (at least) in GCC 4.1.1 and current mainline.
