Bug ID: 66313 Summary: Unsafe factorization of a*b+a*c Product: gcc Version: 6.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: middle-end Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: glisse at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- int f(int a, int b, int c){ return a * b + a * c; } int main(){ return f(0, __INT_MAX__, __INT_MAX__); } $ gcc -fsanitize=undefined e.c $ ./a.out e.c:2:16: runtime error: signed integer overflow: 2147483647 + 2147483647 cannot be represented in type 'int' But I thought I was only computing 0+0? f(-1, __INT_MAX__, 1) yields: e.c:2:16: runtime error: signed integer overflow: 2147483647 + 1 cannot be represented in type 'int' e.c:2:10: runtime error: signed integer overflow: -2147483648 * -1 cannot be represented in type 'int' I am not very excited about restricting this transformation to TYPE_OVERFLOW_WRAPS, but the alternative is to cast to unsigned (and back after the operations), which isn't so nice either.
