Message-ID: <20191211142430.GA17277@movementarian.org> (raw)
Robert (Cc:ed) found a false positive from smatch, which boils down to:
```
#include <limits.h>
int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
long double sec = 0;
// also __int128 !
if (sec > (float)INT_MAX) {
0;
}
}
```
$ ./src/smatch/smatch -m32 test.smatch.c
test.smatch.c:9 main() warn: impossible condition '(sec > 2147483647) =>
(s32min-s32max > s32max)'
A cheesy fix here is:
$ git diff
diff --git a/smatch_type.c b/smatch_type.c
index 305a0b5c..1e289363 100644
--- a/smatch_type.c
+++ b/smatch_type.c
@@ -411,7 +411,11 @@ sval_t sval_type_max(struct symbol *base_type)
base_type = &llong_ctype;
ret.type = base_type;
- ret.value = (~0ULL) >> (64 - type_positive_bits(base_type));
+ int pos_bits = type_positive_bits(base_type);
+ if (pos_bits > 63)
+ pos_bits = 63;
+
+ ret.value = (~0ULL) >> (64 - pos_bits);
return ret;
}
The issue being that for these types, type_positive_bits() is 64 or
more. If only there were a tool to warn about negative shift operands :)
But type_positive_bits() is used all over, so I have no idea if there's
a lot of other problems.
Or, if this patch is OK on its own, I can add a couple of tests and send
a proper patch over.
Thoughts?
thanks
john
