            Bug ID: 98664
           Summary: inconsistent --Wfree-nonheap-object for inlined calls
                    to system headers
           Product: gcc
           Version: 11.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: middle-end
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: msebor at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

-Wfree-nonheap-object (as well as -Wmismatched-new-delete and
-Wmismatched-dealloc) should be issued for invalid calls to allocation and
deallocation functions made in system headers and inlined into user code (see
pr57111 comment 16).  The test case below shows this doesn't work consistently.
 When the program is compiled without -g only one invalid call is diagnosed. 
But when it's compiled with -g  both are.  

This bug captures the subset related to the -g inconsistency discussed in
pr98465.

Without -g:

$ cat t.C && gcc -O2 -S -Wall -Wextra t.C
# 1 "t.h" 1 3

struct S
{
  void *p;
  void f0 (void *q) { p = q; }
  void f1 (void *q) { f0 (q); }

  void g0 (void) { __builtin_free (p); }
  void g1 (void) { g0 (); }
};

# 1 "t.C"

int x;

__attribute__ ((noipa)) void f0 (struct S *p)
{
  p->f0 (&x);
  p->g0 ();
}

__attribute__ ((noipa)) void f1 (struct S *p)
{
  p->f1 (&x);
  p->g1 ();
}
