Subject: [PATCH next 11/14] bit: Strengthen compile-time tests in GENMASK() and BIT()
Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2026 14:57:28 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260121145731.3623-12-david.laight.linux@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260121145731.3623-1-david.laight.linux@gmail.com>

From: David Laight <david.laight.linux@gmail.com>

The current checks in GENMASK/BIT (eg reversed high/low) only work
for 'integer constant expressions' not 'compile-time constants'.
This is true for const_true() and -Wshift-count-overflow/negative.
While compile-time constants may be unusual, they can happen through
function inlining.

This isn't too bad with gcc, but if clang detects a negative/over-large
shift it treats it as 'undefined behaviour' and silently discards all
code that would use the result, so:
int f(u32 x) {int n = 32; return x >> n; }
generates a function that just contains a 'return' instruction.
If 'n' was a variable that happened to be 32, most modern cpu mask
the count - so would return 'x', some might return 0.

Add extra checks for arguments that pass __builtin_constant_p()
but are not 'integer constant expressions.
__builtin_choose_expr() isn't strong enough to allow
_Static_assert() or ({ ... }) in the other branch so non-standard
schemes are used to report the errors.

To reduce pre-processor bloat the checks are only enabled for W=c
(implied by W=1) builds (where they are errors).

Update the unit tests to match.
