Bug ID: 63645 Summary: Incorrect code generation Product: gcc Version: 4.8.2 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: terra at gnome dot org Created attachment 33809 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=33809&action=edit Test program I am observing valgrind errors from the to-be-attached reduced test case. The oper test on line 36 should fail and short circuit the rest of the condition, but that is not what seems to happen. Note: this smells like an aliasing issue, but I think what union access is correct. welinder@lenovo ~ $ gcc -Wall -g -O2 vvv.c welinder@lenovo ~ $ valgrind ./a.out ==4994== Memcheck, a memory error detector ==4994== Copyright (C) 2002-2013, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al. ==4994== Using Valgrind-3.10.0.SVN and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info ==4994== Command: ./a.out ==4994== ==4994== Invalid read of size 8 ==4994== at 0x4005E8: test (vvv.c:36) ==4994== by 0x4004D8: main (vvv.c:47) ==4994== Address 0x51fd040 is 0 bytes inside a block of size 1 alloc'd ==4994== at 0x4C2AB80: malloc (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so) ==4994== by 0x4005DA: test (vvv.c:54) ==4994== by 0x4004D8: main (vvv.c:47) welinder@lenovo ~ $ gcc -v Using built-in specs.
