Currently, if the argument to `__builtin_assume` and friends contains
side-effects, we issue the following diagnostic:
```
:1:34: warning: the argument to '__builtin_assume' has side effects
that will be discarded [-Wassume]
1 | void f(int x) { __builtin_assume(x++); }
|
```
The issue here is that this diagnostic misrepresents what is actually
happening: not only do we discard the side-effects of the expression, but we
also don’t even emit any assumption information at all because the backend is
not equipped to deal with eliminating side-effects in cases such as this.
This has caused some confusion (see #91612) beacuse the current wording of the
warning suggests that, sensibly, only the side-effects of the expression, and
not the assumption itself, will be discarded.
This pr updates the diagnostic to state what is actually happening: that the
assumption has no effect at all because its argument contains side-effects:
```
:1:34: warning: assumption is ignored because it contains (potential)
side-effects [-Wassume]
1 | void f(int x) { __builtin_assume(x++); }
|
```
I’ve deliberately included ‘(potential)’ here because even expressions that
only contain potential side-effects (e.g. `true ? x : x++` or a call to a
function that is pure, but we don’t know that it is) cause the assumption to be
discarded. This, too, has caused some confusion because it was erroneously
assumed that Clang would e.g. infer that a function call is pure and not
discard the assumption as a result when that isn’t the case.
This is intended to be temporary; we should revert back to the original
diagnostic once we have proper support for assumptions with side-effects in the
backend (in which case the side-effects will still be discarded, but the
assumption won’t)
This fixes #91612.
