Bug ID: 91597 Summary: [9/10 Regression] GCC miscompiles a branch depending on a pointer tag Product: gcc Version: 9.2.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: tree-optimization Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: wjnawrocki at protonmail dot com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 46782 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=46782&action=edit Preprocessed testcase The following bit of C++ source code (also attached preprocessed): #include <cstddef> #include <cstdint> enum class foo_kind { A, B, C }; struct alignas(4) foo { foo_kind m_kind; }; foo_kind kind_(foo * o) { if ((reinterpret_cast<std::uintptr_t>(o) & 1) == 0) return o->m_kind; else return foo_kind::A; } bool is_bc(foo * o) { return kind_(o) == foo_kind::B || kind_(o) == foo_kind::C; } __attribute__((always_inline)) inline void loop_if_bc(foo * o, int depth) { if (__builtin_expect(!is_bc(o), 0)) throw "what"; if (depth > 0) return; loop_if_bc(o, depth+1); } void destruct_foo(foo * o) { switch (o->m_kind) { case foo_kind::A: return; case foo_kind::B: loop_if_bc(o, 0); break; case foo_kind::C: loop_if_bc(o, 0); break; } } int main(int, char**, char**) { foo obj { foo_kind::C }; destruct_foo(&obj); return 0; } is miscompiled by GCC 9.1.0, 9.2.0 and maybe other versions when compiled with at least -O2. The correct output should be nothing (exit code 0), but the compiled program terminates with an uncaught "what" exception: $ g++ dealloc.cpp -o dealloc -O2 -Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic $ ./dealloc terminate called after throwing an instance of 'char const*' Info: $ gcc -v Using built-in specs.
