[PATCH] c++: Allow indeterminate unsigned char or std::byte in bit_cast - P1272R4

[PATCH] c++: Allow indeterminate unsigned char or std::byte in bit_cast - P1272R4

[Jakub Jelinek]

Hi!

P1272R4 has added to the std::byteswap new stuff to me quite unrelated
clarification for std::bit_cast.
std::bit_cast is already in C++20 though and std::byteswap is a new
C++23 feature, it is unclear to me if that bit_cast addition in there
is really meant for C++23 and later only (e.g. related to only
C++23 actually allowing non-literal vars and thus other spots where
indeterminate values can appear during constant evaluation), or if
it was meant as a DR and should apply to C++20 too.

The following so far only lightly tested patch (dg.exp=bit-cast*.C
testing) implements it as applying to C++23 only.

Also, it is unclear to me how bitfields should behave, whether having
indeterminate bits in
struct S { unsigned char a : 8, b : 5, c : 3, d, e; unsigned int f : 8, g : 24; };
struct T1 { unsigned char a : 1, : 7, b : 5, c : 3, d, e; unsigned int f : 8, g : 24; };
struct T2 { unsigned char a : 8, b : 1, : 4, c : 3, d, e; unsigned int f : 8, g : 24; };
struct T3 { unsigned char a : 8, b : 5, c : 1, : 2, d, e; unsigned int f : 8, g : 24; };
struct T4 { unsigned char a : 8, b : 5, c : 3, d, e; unsigned int f : 1, : 7, g : 24; };
constexpr bool f1 () { T1 t = { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 }; S s = __builtin_bit_cast (S, t); return true; }
constexpr bool f2 () { T2 t = { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 }; S s = __builtin_bit_cast (S, t); return true; }
constexpr bool f3 () { T3 t = { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 }; S s = __builtin_bit_cast (S, t); return true; }
constexpr bool f4 () { T4 t = { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 }; S s = __builtin_bit_cast (S, t); return true; }
constexpr bool a = f1 ();
constexpr bool b = f2 ();
constexpr bool c = f3 ();
constexpr bool d = f4 ();
The patch currently uses TREE_TYPE and doesn't check DECL_BIT_FIELD,
so it accepts f1 and f4 cases where the TREE_TYPE is unsigned char
and doesn't accept f2 and f3 where the type is some 5 or 3 bit precision
unsigned type.  But possibly either it should look at the declared
type of the bitfield and don't allow f4 and allow f1-f3, or don't allow
any of the f1-f4 cases.

It's a DR.  Really, it was intended to be part of C++20; at the Cologne 
meeting in 2019 CWG thought byteswap was going to make C++20, so this 
bugfix could go in as part of that paper.

Also, allowing indeterminate values that are never read was in C++20 
(P1331).

I think in all of them the result of the cast has (some) indeterminate 
value.  So f1-3 are OK because the indeterminate value has unsigned char 
type and is never used; f4() is non-constant because S::f has 
non-byte-access type and so the new wording says it's undefined.

[PATCH] c++, v2: Allow indeterminate unsigned char or std::byte in bit_cast - P1272R4

Ok, changed to be done unconditionally now.

Reading P1331R2 again, I'm still puzzled.
Our current behavior (both before and after this patch) is that if
some variable is scalar and has indeterminate value or if an aggregate
variable has some members (possibly nested) with indeterminate values,
in constexpr contexts we allow copying those into other vars of the
same type (e.g. the testcases in the patch below test mere copying
of the whole structures or unsigned char result of __builtin_bit_cast),
but we reject if we actually use them in some other way (e.g. try to
read a member from a variable that has that member indeterminate,
see e.g. bit-cast14.C (f5, f6, f7), even when reading it into an
unsigned char variable.

Then there is P1331R2 which makes the UB on
"an lvalue-to-rvalue conversion that is applied to an object with
indeterminate value ([basic.indet]);"
but isn't even the
  unsigned char a = __builtin_bit_cast (unsigned char, u);
  unsigned char b = a;
case non-constant then when __builtin_bit_cast returns indeterminate value?
__builtin_bit_cast returns rvalue, so no lvalue-to-rvalue conversion happens
in that case, so supposely
  unsigned char a = __builtin_bit_cast (unsigned char, u);
is fine, but on
  unsigned char b = a;
a is lvalue and is converted to rvalue.
Similarly
  T t = { 1, 2 };
  S s = __builtin_bit_cast (S, t);
  S u = s;
where S s = __builtin_bit_cast (S, t); could be ok even when some or all
members are indeterminate, but u = s; does lvalue-to-rvalue conversion?

Or there is http://eel.is/c++draft/basic.indet that has quite clear rules
what is and isn't UB and if C++ wanted to go further and allow all those
valid cases in there as constant...

Anyway, I hope this can be dealt with incrementally.

Ok, implemented the bitfield handling then.

Here is an updated patch, so far lightly tested.

2021-11-30  Jakub Jelinek <jakub@redhat.com>

	* constexpr.c (clear_uchar_or_std_byte_in_mask): New function.
	(cxx_eval_bit_cast): Don't error about padding bits if target
	type is unsigned char or std::byte, instead return no clearing
	ctor.  Use clear_uchar_or_std_byte_in_mask.

	* g++.dg/cpp2a/bit-cast11.C: New test.
	* g++.dg/cpp2a/bit-cast12.C: New test.
	* g++.dg/cpp2a/bit-cast13.C: New test.
	* g++.dg/cpp2a/bit-cast14.C: New test.

That seems to be a bug, since the copy involves an lvalue-to-rvalue 
conversion.

That's correct.

Good point.  So it would seem to follow that if the output is going to 
have an indeterminate value, it's non-constant, we don't have to work 
hard in constexpr evaluation, and f1-4 are all non-constant.  And the 
new bit_cast text is only interesting for non-constant evaluation.

Eh, there's clearly an lvalue-rvalue conversion involved in reading from 
the source value.

Yeah.  The questions are
1) where in constexpr.c to check for this and diagnose it
2) if we do it quite often, whether check for it won't be too expensive,
   because we want to check recursively for CONSTRUCTORs with
   CONSTRUCTOR_NO_CLEARING and possibly whether it has any members or
   array elements that are omitted in the CONSTRUCTOR (or can we rely
   on CONSTRUCTOR_NO_CLEARING being set only if it is incomplete?  Then
   we'd need to make sure we clear that flag if we store the last member
   or array element into it)
E.g. for 1), I wonder where exactly the lvalue-to-rvalue conversions occur,
say for
struct S { int a, b, c; };
constexpr int
foo ()
{
  struct S s;
  s.a = 1;
  s.c = 3;
  return s.a;	// Does lvalue-to-rvalue conversion happen here on whole s
		// and then on s.a too, or just on s.a ?
}
E.g. when cxx_eval_component_reference or cxx_eval_array_reference
or cxx_eval_bit_field_ref we cxx_eval_constant_expression the base
first, so if the 1) diagnostics would be in cxx_eval_constant_expression
when it is called on an lvalue_p with !lval, we'd trigger it even when
we might not want to trigger it...

I think it isn't that simple.  One thing is that std::bit_cast is described
as a black box that takes a reference argument, so whether lvalue-to-rvalue
conversion happens there is just something that isn't guaranteed (though,
the way __builtin_bit_cast is implemented which is called with the value
rather than its address there is lvalue-to-rvalue conversion on it).
But another more important thing is that at least in the testcases in the
patch if one kills those extra copies of __builtin_bit_cast lhs to other
vars which are non-constant according to P1331R2, I don't see anything
that would imply they are non-constant.  If there is the lvalue-to-rvalue
conversion on what the std::bit_cast argument refers to, that would make
non-constant e.g. class objects with some members indeterminate (e.g.
in the above foo s is like that), but in the testcases the
__builtin_bit_cast arguments have all named members initialized, all they
have is some padding bits in between those members and that can't be
non-constant in itself, otherwise most of constant evaluation would be
non-constant.  And the std::bit_cast rules say what happens in that case.

Yes, but if u doesn't contain any indeterminate (leaf) members, then
it shouldn't be non-constant.

So IMHO we need the patch I've posted (with the testcases slightly adjusted
not to do those extra copies afterwards for now),
and try to deal with the lvalue-to-rvalue conversion of indeterminate later,
and once done, perhaps in a copy of those testcases readd those extra copies
afterwards and verify it is rejected.

Only on s.a.  Class copy is modeled as memberwise copy, even though we 
optimize it into block copy for trivially copyable classes.

I think we can work around that so that we complain about the full 
CONSTRUCTOR when we're doing a full copy, and otherwise only complain 
about the member.

Eh, all functions in the library are described as black boxes.  But your 
next argument is more persuasive:

Makes sense, except:

This seems to assert that the value representation of a bit-field can't 
span more than two bytes, which is wrong for, say,

struct A
{
   int : 1;
   unsigned __int128 c : 128; // value representation spans 17 bytes
};

Sure, for arbitrary bitfields yes.  But, the patch only deals with
unsigned char and std::byte TYPE_MAIN_VARIANT (DECL_BIT_FIELD_TYPE (fld))
bitfields (others don't have the type listed in the standard and so should
error right away, which is done by keeping the mask bits uncleared).

For PCC_BITFIELD_TYPE_MATTERS I think end must be 1 even, if a bit-field
would cross the byte boundary, it would be allocated in the next byte.
But !PCC_BITFIELD_TYPE_MATTERS targets can cross the boundary, but as it
can't be more than BITS_PER_UNIT bits (oversized bitfields are with warning
downsized to the underlying's type precision), it can occupy at most 2
bytes.

Ah, of course.  The patch is OK, though you might factor
