Subject: [PATCH 28/73] inline: Duplicate generic expressions instead of evaluating them
Date: Mon,  9 Nov 2026 12:32:14 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109203259.362845-29-bvanassche@acm.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109203259.362845-1-bvanassche@acm.org>

Duplicate the EXPR_GENERIC expression, its control expression, its
default expression, and each type-expression map entry during function
inlining instead of evaluating the generic selection prematurely.

Prevent copy_symbol() from traversing already-evaluated expressions
where compound literals (such as &(size_t){ 0 }) produce anonymous local
symbols without replacement symbols and trigger false 'unreplaced symbol
<noident>' warnings.

Allow evaluate_statement() to evaluate the selected branch of the copied
generic expression when the expanded inlined function body is evaluated,
and add validation/inline-generic.c.

Fixes: eb6779f6f621 ("generic: fix missing inlining of generic expression")
