[Bug c/53769] [C11]: Macros __STDC_NO_THREADS__ / __STDC_NO_ATOMIC__ missing.
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53769 Christophe Monat changed: What|Removed |Added CC||christophe.monat at st dot com --- Comment #10 from Christophe Monat --- Now that C11 is complete, would it be acceptable to have GCC define __STDC_NO_THREADS__ and __STDC_NO_ATOMIC__ when appropriate ? Beyond the standard that stipulates this behavior, IAR compilers do provide these definitions - at least according to their documentation (IAR C/C++ Development Guide Compiling and Linking - ARM version - 2019). I have not checked other commercial compilers. This would avoid this behavior of the ARM embedded toolchain: $ cat samples-threads.c #if !defined(__STDC_NO_THREADS__) #include #endif $ gcc-arm-none-eabi-8-2019-q3-update/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc samples-threads.c In file included from samples-threads.c:2: /sw/FROM_sw_st_gnu_compil_comp/comp/arm/linaro/gcc-arm-none-eabi-8-2019-q3-update/arm-none-eabi/include/threads.h:30:10: fatal error: machine/_threads.h: No such file or directory #include ^~~~

[Bug tree-optimization/83661] sincos does not handle sin(2x)
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=83661 --- Comment #4 from Christophe Monat --- Hi Pratamesh, You're absolutely right - maybe it's more efficient when there is some hardware sincos available (Intel FSINCOS ?) but I would check also carefully the actual performance. Indeed, it looks to me that either you have to use two different polynomials or shift one argument and use either sin or cos, but anyway twice. We studied that in a slightly different context with Claude-Pierre Jeannerod from ENS Lyon and our PhD Jingyan Lu-Jourdan a while ago : "Simultaneous floating-point sine and cosine for VLIW integer processors" available here: https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-00672327 and we were able to gain significant performance by exploiting the low-level parallelism of the processor. Agreed, this is not a full IEEE implementation but the important ideas are there.

The non-optimized version costs : add (to compute *2.0), sin, sin, add The optimized version costs (I choose to account for sincos as being sin, then cos IRL) : sin, cos, mul, mul, add It looks to me that the situation is not favorable for the optimized version - at least one more operation. What do you think ?

Summary: regex_iterator constructor is incomplete and creates
uninitialized values that may be used

Porposed patch to fix the regex_iterator constructor
The following code snippet, when compiled on X8664 with gcc-trunk, dumps core
with any optimization level (you might need to add -std=c++11 depending on your
compiler version).
#include
#include
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
char const s[] = "afoo";
std::basic_regex r("(f+)");
{
std::cregex_iterator i(s, s+sizeof(s), r);
std::cregex_iterator j(s, s+sizeof(s), r);
assert(i == j);
}
// The iterator manipulation code must be repeated in the same scope
// to expose the undefined read during the execution of the ==
// operator (stack location reuse)
{
std::cregex_iterator i(s, s+sizeof(s), r);
std::cregex_iterator j;
assert(!(i == j));
}
return 0;
}
This happens during the execution of the operator== that reads some of the
private implementation fields, some of which appear not to be initialized.
The issue is due to the fact that the regex_iterator
(libstdc++v3/include/bits/regex.h) has for instance a pointer member (const
regex_type* _M_pregex) and a user-defined constructor that fails to initialize
it
I have attached a trivial patch that initializes the two fields that are to be
explicitly initialized to avoid the reported issue.
[Bug target/78020] [AArch64] vuzp{1,2}q_f64 implementation identical to vzip{1,2}q_f64 in arm_neon.h and probably incorrect

Bug ID: 78020
Summary: [Aarch64, ARM64] vuzp{1,2}q_f64 implementation
identical to vzip{1,2}q_f64 in arm_neon.h and probably
incorrect
Product: gcc

Suggested patch to fix the zip vs unzp intrinsic issue
I think that vuzp{1,2}q_f64 in gcc/config/aarch64/arm_neon.h are not correctly
implemented.
For instance:
vzip1q_f64 (float64x2_t __a, float64x2_t __b)
(snippage)
return __builtin_shuffle (__a, __b, (uint64x2_t) {0, 2});
and:
vuzp1q_f64 (float64x2_t __a, float64x2_t __b)
(snippage)
return __builtin_shuffle (__a, __b, (uint64x2_t) {0, 2});
But then, according to the "ARM Architecture reference Manual, ARMv8 for
ARMv8-A architecture profile" (I am reading ARM DDI 0487A.i (ID 012816)), the
semantic of zip1 and uzp1 differ (C3.5.18 is a convenient starting point to
browse the architectural descriptions).
It looks to me that the correct implementation would look like:
vuzp1q_f64 (float64x2_t __a, float64x2_t __b)
(snippage)
return __builtin_shuffle (__a, __b, (uint64x2_t) {2, 0});
that would generate
zip1v0.2d, v1.2d, v0.2d
instead of:
zip1v0.2d, v0.2d, v1.2d
and has the correct semantic, though it does not use the uzp1 mnemonic (I
expected this uzp1 to appear more or less at the beginning, and scratched a
little bit my head and draw some diagrams to convince me that I was hopefully
correct).
I have also noticed that vtrn{1,2}q_f64 are implemented in terms of zip{1,2},
but it seems ok semantically (though I had to check manually with the semantic
description and more drawings to convince myself).
I have attached a patch suggesting a change in arm_neon.h, in case this
analysis is correct.
I note that if https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=70369 were
completed the occurrence of such issue would be less likely.
[Bug target/77882] [Aarch64] Add 'naked' function attribute
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=77882 --- Comment #3 from Christophe Monat --- Andrew, (In reply to Andrew Pinski from comment #2) > I really think the naked attribute as not useful at all. I think it was a > bad idea. Why not write a .s file which does what you want? Well, from the discussions I read (for instance in bug #25967) before posting this, I was more or less expecting this remark. I agree that some arguments there are not valid. In a nutshell, I wrote quite a lot of tricky testing code (dealing manually with functions prologues/epilogues, etc..) for the ARM target (Ramana : please pardon the misused 'legacy' adjective) using this feature, and I would like to have a similar installment for ARM64. I am also generally simply bothered at the idea of putting decoration at the beginning of an assembly file, and starting from .c enables me to have the appropriate tags automatically emitted when I switch from target to target. --C

With the following code fragment aarch64-attribute-naked.c :

// Stuff removed above, below we assume that the 'naked' attribute
// does the job and does not generate the usual 'ret' instruction

}

I have tried with a gcc-6.1.1, but simply as an example, this feature has never
been ported to Aarch64, I think.
As this attribute is supported for the legacy ARM target, it would be nice it
the Aarch64 compiler could support it.
[Bug c/77754] [5/6/7 Regression] internal compiler error : tree code 'call_expr' is not supported in LTO streams
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=77754 --- Comment #4 from Christophe Monat --- (In reply to Richard Biener from comment #3) > I wonder what the standards say about side-effects in those "declarations". From my instance of ISO+IEC+9899-2011.pdf 6.7.6.2 Array declarators Constraints ... Semantics (5) If the size is an expression that is not an integer constant expression: if it occurs in a declaration at function prototype scope, it is treated as if it were replaced by *; otherwise, each time it is evaluated it shall have a value greater than zero. The size of each instance of a variable length array type does not change during its lifetime. Where a size expression is part of the operand of a sizeof operator and changing the value of the size expression would not affect the result of the operator, it is unspecified whether or not the size expression is evaluated. And 6.7.6.3 Function declarators (including prototypes) (12) If the function declarator is not part of a definition of that function, parameters may have incomplete type and may use the [*] notation in their sequences of declarator specifiers to specify variable length array types. So to me it looks, like the compiler could consider the original declaration as if it where: void fn2(int[][*]);
