Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Target Milestone|--- |4.9.0 Resolution|--- |FIXED --- Comment #2 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Hmm, I don't think we can provide this for compile time warnings. We do provide runtime error/warnings with -fsanitize=undefined /app/example.cpp:7:46: runtime error: shift exponent 32 is too large for 32-bit type 'unsigned int' /app/example.cpp:8:28: runtime error: shift exponent 32 is too large for 32-bit type 'int' /app/example.cpp:11:48: runtime error: shift exponent -1 is negative /app/example.cpp:12:30: runtime error: shift exponent -1 is negative If the shifter was that constant we do provide compile time warnings already (and have for ever, in 4.1.2 for sure): <source>: In function 'int main()': <source>:7:46: warning: right shift count >= width of type [-Wshift-count-overflow] 7 | std::cout<<"0xFFFFFFFF>>32 = "<<(0xFFFFFFFF>>32)<<std::endl; | ~~~~~~~~~~^~~~ <source>:8:28: warning: left shift count >= width of type [-Wshift-count-overflow] 8 | std::cout<<"1<<32 = "<<(1<<32)<<std::endl; | ~^~~~ <source>:11:48: warning: right shift count is negative [-Wshift-count-negative] 11 | std::cout<<"0xFFFFFFFF>>(-1) = "<<(0xFFFFFFFF>>-1)<<std::endl; | ~~~~~~~~~~^~~~ <source>:12:30: warning: left shift count is negative [-Wshift-count-negative] 12 | std::cout<<"1<<(-1) = "<<(1<<-1)<<std::endl; | ~^~~~ -fsanitize=undefined was added in GCC 4.9.0. I don't see how we can warn without knowing if the code will be executed.
