[PATCH] PR28901 -Wunused-variable ignores unused const initialised variables

[Mark Wielaard]

12 years ago it was decided that -Wunused-variable shouldn't warn about
static const variables because some code used const static char rcsid[]
strings which were never used but wanted in the code anyway. But as the
bug points out this hides some real bugs. These days the usage of rcsids
is not very popular anymore. So this patch changes the default to warn
about unused static const variables with -Wunused-variable. And it adds
a new option -Wno-unused-const-variable to turn this warning off. New
testcases are included to test the new warning with -Wunused-variable
and suppressing it with -Wno-unused-const-variable or unused attribute.

Should these go into c-c++-common? Otherwise I'm ok with the patch, 
please wait a few days to see if there are objections to this change 
then commit.

No. It is C only. But I realize that isn't really clear from my patch
nor from the documentation I wrote for it. Since in C++ a const isn't
by default file scoped and const variables always need to be initialized
they are used differently than in C. Where in C you would use a #define
in C++ you would use a const. So the cxx_warn_unused_global_decl ()
lang hook explicitly says to not warn about them. Although I think that
is correct, I now think it is confusing you cannot enable the warning
for C++ if you really want to. It should be off by default for C++, but
on by default for C when -Wunused-variable is enabled. But it would
actually be nice to be able to use it too for C++ if the user really
wants to instead of having the warning suppression for C++ hardcoded.

I'll rewrite my patch a little, add some C++ testcases, and update the
documentation. Then we can discuss again.

Thanks,

Slightly adjusted patch attached. Now it is explicit that the warning is
enabled by -Wunused-variable for C, but not C++. There are testcases for
both C and C++ to check the defaults. And the hardcoded override is
removed for C++, so the user could enable it if they want.

Regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu only new PASSes.

Subject: [PATCH] PR28901 -Wunused-variable ignores unused const initialised
 variables in C

12 years ago it was decided that -Wunused-variable shouldn't warn about
static const variables because some code used const static char rcsid[]
strings which were never used but wanted in the code anyway. But as the
bug points out this hides some real bugs. These days the usage of rcsids
is not very popular anymore. So this patch changes the default to warn
about unused static const variables in C with -Wunused-variable. And it
adds a new option -Wno-unused-const-variable to turn this warning off.
For C++ this new warning is off by default, since const variables can be
used as #defines in C++. New testcases for the new defaults in C and C++
are included testing the new warning and suppressing it with an unused
attribute or using -Wno-unused-const-variable.

Can't you use LangEnabledBy() in c.opt to implement this? If not, I think this 
would be a regression or a bug.

Ideally, all options dependences should be encoded in the .opt files, however, 
it cannot handle yet conditions such as (cxx_dialect >= cxx11 || flag_isoc99). 
But it can handle a lot of other things already. See 
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Option-properties.html

Cheers,

Manuel.

Yes, I can. See simplified patch attached.
I wasn't aware there was already such a nice framework for this.

commit 97505bd0e4ac15d86c2a302cfebc5f1a4fc2c2e8
Author: Mark Wielaard <mjw@redhat.com>

    PR28901 -Wunused-variable ignores unused const initialised variables in C
    
    12 years ago it was decided that -Wunused-variable shouldn't warn about
    static const variables because some code used const static char rcsid[]
    strings which were never used but wanted in the code anyway. But as the
    bug points out this hides some real bugs. These days the usage of rcsids
    is not very popular anymore. So this patch changes the default to warn
    about unused static const variables in C with -Wunused-variable. And it
    adds a new option -Wno-unused-const-variable to turn this warning off.
    For C++ this new warning is off by default, since const variables can be
    used as #defines in C++. New testcases for the new defaults in C and C++
    are included testing the new warning and suppressing it with an unused
    attribute or using -Wno-unused-const-variable.

I am not sure I like this change.  It broke the GLIBC build for me on
MIPS.  Basically GLIBC has a header file with initialized static
constant globals (sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/atnat2.h contains tqpi1 and
qpi1) and that header file is included in multiple .c files like
sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/e_atan2.c that use some, but not all, of those
static constant variables.  But between the various .c files all of the
globals are used somewhere, just not in every individual .c file.  This
seems like a perfectly reasonable use of static globals and header files
that should not be identified as a warning.

This warning causes the GLIBC build to fail because GLIBC is compiled
with -Wall -Werror.

Multiple?  All I can see is e_atan2.c including that header file, nothing
else.

I disagree.  While const vars are special in C++, it is really like
any other variable in C, so the warning is IMHO appropriate.

Whoops, bad assumption on my part.  I thought it must be included
somewhere else, otherwise why put it in a header.

I guess it is not the 'const' I think should be handled special but the
'static'.  Having unused static variables (const or not) declared in a
header file but unused seems reasonable since the header file may be
included in multiple .c files each of which uses a subset of the static
variables.

Yeah, odd. But it seems the issues the warning pointed out are real. I
build glibc and found 9 unused variables. They all look like they are
really not used in the code, so they can all just be removed. Someone of
course should double check they aren't unused by accident before
committing upstream.

Cheers,

Mark

For the record there was one other issue with building glibc with
current GCC6 was:

 tst-endian.c: In function ‘do_test’:

timezone/private.h comes verbatim from the tzcode project and should not

I tend to agree. I suppose diagnosing unused non-const static
definitions might be helpful but I can't think of a good reason
to diagnose unused initialized static consts in C. Especially
since they're not diagnosed in C++.

Would diagnosing them in source files while avoiding the warning
for static const definitions in headers be an acceptable compromise?

I am a little concerned that would hide some real issues. In the case of
glibc the header files were actually only used by one main file, so the
variables were indeed unused and needed to be investigated why they were
there in the first place. In the case of wine the issue was that the
header file contained non-idiomatic and somewhat unreadable C constructs
that could easily be replaced by more readable defines for 16bit char
string constants.

Even if there are such constructs in header files and they aren't
actually bugs or people are unwilling to fix the issue with something
that is more idiomatic C then there are various ways to suppress the
warning. Either just don't use -Wunused-variable or add
-Wno-unused-const-variable. Add an explicit __attribute__((used)) or
just add a #pragma GCC system_header to the .h file.

If we are concerned that this generates warnings that aren't easy to
avoid then we might want to add that particular check behind -Wextra.
But is that really necessary? I am not against implementing an extra
warning exception/flag if it really is necessary. But it does introduce
more complexity and makes the warning less consistent. So what would be
a good way to find out one way or another whether the extra complexity
is needed?

Cheers,

Mark

I think at this point we have reports of just two packages generating 
extra warnings, with the warnings at least justifiable in both cases. So 
my vote would be to leave things as-is for now and see if more reports 
come in. It is after all expected that a new warning option generates 
new warnings.

At least one of the warnings in glibc is not justified (in my opinion).
The header file timezone/private.h defines time_t_min and time_t_max.
These are not used in any of the timezone files built by glibc but if
you look at the complete tz package they are used when building other
objects that are not part of the glibc tz component and that include
private.h.

I would make two arguments about why I don't think we should warn.

One is that 'static int const foo = 1' seems a lot like '#define foo 1'
and we don't complain about the macro foo not being used.  If we
complain about the unused const, why not complain about the unused
macro?  We don't complain because we know it would result in too many
warnings in existing code.  If we want people to move away from macros,
and I think we do, then we should not make it harder to do so by
introducing new warnings when they change.

The other is that C++ does not complain about this.  I know that C and
C++ are different languages with different rules but it seems like this
difference is a difference that doesn't have to exist.  Either both
should complain or neither should complain.  I can't think of any valid
reason for one to complain and the other not to.

I think using the used attribute is probably a reasonable way to address
this issue if we continue to generate the warning but I still feel it is
a bad warning in that it will (sometimes) warn about a coding style that
seems perfectly reasonable to me.

The standard C way of writing this would be to declare time_t_min in the 
header and have its definition in another file, or use a TIME_T_MIN 
macro as glibc does in mktime.c. That file even has a local redefinition:
       time_t time_t_min = TIME_T_MIN;
So at the very least the warning points at code that has some oddities.

Well, they _are_ different languages, and handling of const is one place 
where they differ. For example, C++ consts can be used in places where 
constant expressions are required. The following is a valid C++ program 
but not a C program:

const int v = 200;
int t[v];

The result is that the typical programming style for C is to have 
constants #defined, while for C++ you can find more examples like the 
above; I recall Stroustrup explicitly advocating that in the 
introductory books I read 20 years ago, and using it as a selling point 
for C++. Existing practice is important when deciding what to warn 
about, and for the moment I remain convinced that C practice is 
sufficiently different from C++.

I can believe its an odd way to write C, but is it actually a bad one?
I expect if I got warnings for code like that I'd be pretty unhappy
about either moving the constant out where the compiler can't always see
it, or making it a macro.

existing practice is certainly important, but I would say that what is
good practice is also very important.  It seems to me that warning for
these constants is basically making it hard to follow a better practice
than the existing one.  That seems pretty unfortunate.

On the other hand I've become much more of a C++ programmer than a C one
so, I'm probably not the best judge.

So, is there any consensus on this issue?  I cannot build top-of-tree
glibc with top-of-tree GCC due to this warning coming from
timezone/private.h.  If GCC is going to keep this warning then I should
talk to the owners of the header file (tz group, not glibc) and see if
they would be willing to add a unused attribute to it.  Personally, I
would rather have GCC not issue the warning, but that is just based on
my opinion that the definition of a (possibly) unused static initialized
variable in a C header is a reasonable practice.

If I understood Jakub correctly he agreed with my reasoning. So for the

I think not using -Wall -Werror is the right fix.

Of course there is a fair chance (and I'll likely end up proposing
this for Wine) is that people will use -Wnounused-variable instead.

Which will disable _all_ such warnings, not only those coming from
  const ... ... = ...;
in C header files.

Then use -Wno-unused-const-variable, not -Wno-unused-variable, if you
only want to suppress the new warning.

[PATCH] PR28901 Add two levels for -Wunused-const-variable.

[Mark Wielaard]

There is some controversy about enabling -Wunused-const-variable for all
unused static const variables because some feel there are too many errors
exposed in header files. Create two levels for -Wunused-const-variable.
One level to only check for unused static const variables in the main
compilation file. Which is enabled by -Wunused-variable. And a second
level that also checks for unused static const variables in included
header files. Which must be explicitly enabled.

Note that given the discussion in the BZ, I'm going to consider this a 
regression and thus eligible for the trunk.

If that's not a typo, then just say so and this is approved.  If it is a

The _ stands for = from the option name, as -Wunused-const-variable
is an alias to -Wunused-const-variable=2, I think we want the trailing
underscore.

Thanks. Unfortunately new warnings always seem to make some people
unhappy (even when others are happy and see them as useful). Hopefully
this compromise makes it so that nobody sees this warning as regression.

As Jakub already explained that was deliberate. It is how a warning
option that can take a level is represented. Pushed.

Apologies. Apparently main_input_filename can be NULL. I am not entirely
sure when that happens. Or how I failed to see that test failure. I
think I didn't have java enabled, causing libffi to be skipped.

I am testing this patch that skips the test in that case:

Are you sure that is the problem?
I think it doesn't hurt to check for non-NULL main_input_filename, perhaps
some non-c-family languages might not set it, and this is in generic code,
but at least on the gcc.target/i386/iamcu/test_passing_structs.c testcase and on one
randomly selected libffi testcase I see the ICE from completely different
reason - what is NULL is DECL_SOURCE_FILE (decl).

decl is e.g.
 <var_decl 0x7ffff18b3cf0 *.LC3
    type <record_type 0x7ffff18865e8 char7_struct sizes-gimplified type_0 BLK

We are not really going to warn about this anyway, e.g. because
it is DECL_ARTIFICIAL, but that is checked only in a much later
condition.  So, I think you should check also for NULL DECL_SOURCE_FILE
(and treat it as possibly in a header).  Unfortunately
DECL_SOURCE_FILE involves a function call, so you might want to cache
it in some automatic variable.

No :) I was still bootstrapping. I did see it didn't solve the issue but
hadn't understood why yet...

Thanks, that makes more sense than my first hypothesis.

Can we please please please hide this ugliness behind an (inline?) function 
such as bool in_main_file_at (location_t) in input.[ch]? The condition here is 
quickly becoming unreadable.

Also because in the future somebody would want to re-implement this using 
MAIN_FILE_P() from line-map.h, which is faster.

Cheers,

	Manuel.

I'm not against that, but I'd prefer if it is done incrementally, we don't
want to keep the trunk broken too much for too long.  So if Mark is already
testing this patch, IMHO it is better to commit it in this shape sooner.

Sorry, I pushed the minimum fix. I am too embarrassed already for
breaking stuff to risk refactoring anything and making another dumb
mistake. (My mistake was only checking the top-level compiler .sum
files, I had forgotten to check the library ones).

It might be a good idea to file a bug for this and write a patch to
submit during next stage one if you believe this is a useful cleanup.

Cheers,

Mark

And glibc also uses -fmerge-all-constants, so this C++-style use of static 
variables should be just as efficient as using #define in all cases 
(though since the addresses of the variables aren't taken, it should be 
just as efficient even without -fmerge-all-constants).

I believe making -Wunused-const-variable part of -Wall is not
a good idea.

For example, I have a nightly build of Wine with a nightly build 
of GCC.  And my notifaction mail went from twently lines of warning 
to 6500 -- all coming from header files.

What does it warn about, do the warnings look valid?

I was just taking a look. They come from constructs like:

static const WCHAR INSTALLPROPERTY_VERSIONSTRINGW[] =
{'V','e','r','s','i','o','n','S','t','r','i','n','g',0};

Using the more idiomatic and a bit more readable:

#define INSTALLPROPERTY_VERSIONSTRINGW u"VersionString"

gets rid of most of the issues.

Mark

I am working to get Wine converted to at least the u"VersionString" 
flavor, and then ideally to use #define or to disable this new 
warning globally.

Should there remain any other cases, I'll report them here.

(Thanks for the hints, Mark!)
