Agreed.
However -Wunitialized is taken over by the middle-end.  This is
one more case where I agre with Mark Mitchell that the middl-end
should not try those things.  Long term, we should move
such warnings to the front-end.  Yes I know, that is not a 
universally held opinon.

That doesn't mean that you cannot produce uninitialized warnings in the
front-end for clear-cut cases like this. In fact, it is impossible to detect
this case in the middle-end because of the code produced by the C++ front-end,

I've been experimenting with this patch, which warns if there is a missing
mem-initializer for a scalar.

It gives a false positive for cases were the member is assigned to in the
constructor body, or otherwise initialized before use, but it's a start, and
has already helped me find some missing mem-initializers in real code.

Nice but I am afraid there may be too many false positives. And what is
different between this and the -Weffc++ warning given just below it?

You do not need this. This is handled automatically when you defined Var in the
opt files.

Yes, I'm not proposing it in that state. It's just an experiment but has been
useful for me already.

> And what is

-Weffc++ also enables dozens of other warnings, most of which I don't find
useful.  It is about good style, not dangerous code, and I don't like the
compiler to enforce style.

In this specific case, the Weffc++ warning complains if *any* member has no
mem-initializer. I only care about POD members which will be uninitialized, I
don't want to add a mem-initializer for e.g. a std::string member which has a
default constructor.

Apart from the false positives, another problem is that the check for
layout_pod_type_p is not right.  An empty class is a POD but doesn't need
initialising.

About -Weffc++, we also have a PR (16166) about splitting it... Not that I
think we should really do that - adding a dozen of -Weffc++-type warnings - but
I believe it would be a good idea to finally resolve one way or the other all
those long standing -Weffc++ PRs (we have 5 or 6)... If you ask my opinion, we
should probably *not* split the option, and instead reduce *a lot* the false
positives for the various warnings, even if that means adding false negatives.

better -Wmeminit patch

This version ignores empty classes and checks for a nontrivial default ctor
instead of layout_pod_type.

This patch doesn't enable the warning unless explicity requested. I realise
that this warning is about enforcing style ("members should be initialised in
the mem-initializer-list not in the ctor body") but that's ok because it's my
preferred style, I just don't want the compiler to enforce other people's
preferred style ;)

No, not at present. I tried using default_init_uninitialized_part but it either
missed cases or produce ICEs, and I never solved the problems. I can send you
my work-in-progress when I get home, it would be great if you could help me
with the issues I don't understand.

Eh, I'm of course not sure that I can help but I quickly went through the
exchange on gcc-patches and got the impression that your work was already in an
advanced stage, thus we should try to finish it! I'm pretty sure that we can
make it in time for 4.8.0 (maybe with one or two more rounds of focused tips
from Jason)

And this comment gives some ideas:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19808#c9

Richard B, you say that: "using <error-mark> [for marking undefined memory] is
just a random (and probably bad) idea."  Intuitively this seems more scalable,
since one could propagate the undefined value like VRP does.

The other alternative "Introducing a SSA name default definition for A (even
though not of register type)", however, seems possible already. no? We do
already check for default definitions in virtual operands, tree-ssa-uninit.c
says:

      /* For memory the only cheap thing we can do is see if we
         have a use of the default def of the virtual operand.

So what is missing here?

            Bug ID: 63408
           Summary: GCC emits incorrect FMA instruction
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: target
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: itay at phobotic dot com

When compiling the following function

float f(float a, int b)
{
    return a - (((float)b / 0x7fffffff) * 100);
}

with the following command-line options

arm-none-eabi-gcc -O2 -mthumb -mfpu=fpv4-sp-d16 -mfloat-abi=softfp
-mcpu=cortex-m4

I get this code for f:

    fmsr    s14, r1    @ int
    flds    s15, .L2
    vcvt.f32.s32    s14, s14, #31
    fmsr    s13, r0
    vfma.f32    s13, s14, s15
    fmrs    r0, s13
    bx    lr
.L3:
    .align    2
.L2:
    .word    1120403456

The resulting code clearly adds the parenthesized expression to a rather than
subtracting it.

Replacing the minus sign with a plus sign results in the same code.

Also, it should detect any scalar member variables that are not assigned to in
any way in the constructor.
