            Bug ID: 104388
           Summary: Request: A builtin to mark an object as invalid
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: Darrell.Wright at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

Would it be possible to get a builtin that marks an object as invalid until it
is overwritten and make it IF if the object is used other than destruction,
assignment or taking its address/ref.  I am naive on the compiler internals
here, but this could allow for the safety of destructive moves without the
changes to the object model around destruction ordering.

--- Comment #1 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
GCC internally places "clobbers" to mark object contents as invalid (as you
name it) and then can diagnose uses (but as "uninitialized") and can do
optimizations like remove dead stores into the now invalid object.

Those could be exposed as builtin.

Can you provide an example testcase how you'd use the builtin?
