Bug ID: 68418
Summary: ubsan complains about left shifts even with -fwrapv
Product: gcc
Version: 5.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: sanitizer
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: bonzini at gnu dot org
CC: dodji at gcc dot gnu.org, dvyukov at gcc dot gnu.org,
jakub at gcc dot gnu.org, kcc at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
Left shifts into the sign bit is a kind of overflow, and the standard chooses
to treat left shifts of negative values the same way.
However, the -fwrapv option modifies the language to one where integers are
defined as two's complement---which also defines entirely the behavior of
shifts. Sanitization of left shifts should be disabled when -fwrapv is in
effect.
