--- Comment #13 from Martin Sebor <msebor at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
I confused things (including myself) yesterday, sorry.
Let me try again, with just the -O2 behavior for the test case in comment #2:
void *xrealloc (void *ptr, int size)
{
void *ret = __builtin_realloc (ptr, size);
if (!ret && !size)
ret = __builtin_realloc (ptr, 1);
if (!ret) {
ret = __builtin_realloc (ptr, size);
if (!ret && !size)
ret = __builtin_realloc(ptr, 1);
if (!ret)
__builtin_abort ();
}
return ret;
}
The optimized IL the warning works with is below. The warning is "pointer may
be used after 'realloc'" because the ptr argument to the realloc calls in bb 2
and 5 is the same, and because bb 5 can't be ruled out to be entered after the
call in bb 2 succeeds (i.e., when ret_17 is nonnull). The conditional in bb 2
is too complex. I don't see what the warning code alone could do about it but
there are ways to avoid it.
void * xrealloc (void * ptr, int size)
{
void * ret;
long unsigned int _1;
_Bool _2;
_Bool _3;
_Bool _4;
_Bool _5;
_Bool _6;
<bb 2> [local count: 1073741824]:
_1 = (long unsigned int) size_13(D);
ret_17 = __builtin_realloc (ptr_15(D), _1);
_2 = ret_17 == 0B;
_3 = size_13(D) == 0;
_4 = _2 & _3;
if (_4 != 0)
goto <bb 3>; [33.00%] >>> ret_17 may be nonnull
else
goto <bb 4>; [67.00%] >>> ret_17 may be nonnull
<bb 3> [local count: 354334800]:
ret_19 = __builtin_realloc (ptr_15(D), 1);
<bb 4> [local count: 1073741824]:
# ret_7 = PHI <ret_17(2), ret_19(3)>
if (ret_7 == 0B)
goto <bb 5>; [0.04%] >>> ret_17(2) == 0 || ret_19(3)
== 0
else
goto <bb 9>; [99.96%]

ret_17(2) may be nonnull
_5 = ret_21 == 0B;
_6 = _3 & _5;
if (_6 != 0)
