Subject: [Bug exp/30404] New: Incorrect evaluation of sizeof(*pointer) for structure with zero length array
Date: Sat, 29 Apr 2023 11:19:54 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-30404-4717@http.sourceware.org/bugzilla/> (raw)
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30404
Bug ID: 30404
Summary: Incorrect evaluation of sizeof(*pointer) for structure
with zero length array
Product: gdb
Version: 12.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: exp
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: mockbutler at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
Created attachment 14856
--> https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=14856&action=edit
Use with gdb to demonstrate bug.
When the last element of a C language struct is a zero length array, the
evaluation of sizeof(*(struct S*)pointer) does not match sizeof(struct S).
> Breakpoint 1, fn (ps=0x7fffffffe250) at demo-sizeof-bug.c:15
> 15 printf("ps = %p\n", ps);
> (gdb) p sizeof(*ps)
> $1 = 7
> (gdb) p sizeof(struct S)
> $2 = 8
> (gdb) ptype/o *ps
> /* offset | size */ type = struct S {
> /* 0 | 4 */ int32_t f1;
> /* 4 | 2 */ int16_t f2;
> /* 6 | 1 */ int8_t f3;
> /* 7 | 0 */ int8_t f4[];
> /* total size (bytes): 7 */
