Subject: [Bug string/28475] New: Incorrect access attribute on memfrob
Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2021 15:50:19 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-28475-131@http.sourceware.org/bugzilla/> (raw)

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28475

            Bug ID: 28475
           Summary: Incorrect access attribute on memfrob
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.34
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: string
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: jsm28 at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

My build-many-glibcs.py bot using GCC mainline has shown a build failure for
s390x-linux-gnu-O3 for some time.

https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-testresults/2021q4/008732.html

memfrob.c: In function 'memfrob':
memfrob.c:26:10: error: '*(char *)s' may be used uninitialized
[-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
   26 |     *p++ ^= 42;
      |     ~~~~~^~~~~
memfrob.c:21:16: note: accessing argument 1 of a function declared with
attribute 'access (write_only, 1, 2)'
   21 | memfrob (void *s, size_t n)
      |          ~~~~~~^

This shows an actual bug in access attribute in the header: memfrob both reads
and writes the memory pointed to by its argument, so marking it write_only is
incorrect.
