            Bug ID: 94314
           Summary: [10 Regression] Optimizing mismatched new/delete pairs
           Product: gcc
           Version: 10.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: wrong-code
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: glisse at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

(originally posted at
https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc-patches/2019-08/msg00276.html , I don't know
if we will do something about it, but it seems worth documenting it in
bugzilla)

Now that we optimize class-specific operator new/delete pairs (but you could do
the same with the global replacable ones as well):

#include <stdio.h>
int count = 0;
struct A {
  __attribute__((malloc,noinline))
  static void* operator new(unsigned long sz){++count;return ::operator
new(sz);}
  static void operator delete(void* ptr){--count;::operator delete(ptr);}
};
int main(){
  delete new A;
  printf("%d\n",count); // Should print 0.
}

If we do not inline anything, we can remove the pair and nothing touches count.
If we inline both new and delete, we can then remove the inner pair instead,
count increases and decreases, fine. If we inline only one of them, and DCE the
mismatched pair new/delete, we get something inconsistent (count is -1).

This seems to indicate we should check that the new and delete match somehow...
