Subject: [PATCH] libstdc++: Fix aliasing violation in std::shared_ptr
Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2022 13:49:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220121134933.172441-1-jwakely@redhat.com> (raw)
Tested powerpc64le-linux. Does anybody see a problem with this change?
The non-atomic store that sets both reference counts to zero uses a
type-punned pointer, which has undefined behaviour. We could use memset
to write 8 bytes, but we don't actually need it to be a single store
anyway. No other thread can observe the values, that's why it's safe to
use non-atomic stores in the first place. So we can just set each count
to zero.
With -fstore-merging (which is enabled by default at -O2) GCC produces
the same code for this as for memset or the type punned store. Clang
does that store merging even at -O1.
libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
* include/bits/shared_ptr_base.h (_Sp_counted_base<>::_M_release):
Set members to zero without type punning.
