--- Comment #27 from CVS Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by David Malcolm <dmalc...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:bedfca647a9e9c1adadd8924f3ee0ab4189424e0 commit r13-2386-gbedfca647a9e9c1adadd8924f3ee0ab4189424e0 Author: David Malcolm <dmalc...@redhat.com> Date: Fri Sep 2 18:29:33 2022 -0400 c/c++: new warning: -Wxor-used-as-pow [PR90885] PR c/90885 notes various places in real-world code where people have written C/C++ code that uses ^ (exclusive or) where presumbably they meant exponentiation. For example https://codesearch.isocpp.org/cgi-bin/cgi_ppsearch?q=2%5E32&search=Search currently finds 11 places using "2^32", and all of them appear to be places where the user means 2 to the power of 32, rather than 2 exclusive-orred with 32 (which is 34). This patch adds a new -Wxor-used-as-pow warning to the C and C++ frontends to complain about ^ when the left-hand side is the decimal constant 2 or the decimal constant 10. This is the same name as the corresponding clang warning: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/DiagnosticsReference.html#wxor-used-as-pow As per the clang warning, the warning suggests converting the left-hand side to a hexadecimal constant if you really mean xor, which suppresses the warning (though this patch implements a fix-it hint for that, whereas the clang implementation only has a fix-it hint for the initial suggestion of exponentiation). I initially tried implementing this without checking for decimals, but this version had lots of false positives. Checking for decimals requires extending the lexer to capture whether or not a CPP_NUMBER token was decimal. I added a new DECIMAL_INT flag to cpplib.h for this. Unfortunately, c_token and cp_tokens both have only an unsigned char for their flags (as captured by c_lex_with_flags), whereas this would add the 12th flag to cpp_tokens. Of the first 8 flags, all but BOL are used in the C or C++ frontends, but BOL is not, so I moved that to a higher position, using its old value for the new DECIMAL_INT flag, so that it is representable within an unsigned char. Example output: demo.c:5:13: warning: result of '2^8' is 10; did you mean '1 << 8' (256)? [-Wxor-used-as-pow] 5 | int t2_8 = 2^8; | ^ | -- | 1<< demo.c:5:12: note: you can silence this warning by using a hexadecimal constant (0x2 rather than 2) 5 | int t2_8 = 2^8; | ^ | 0x2 demo.c:21:15: warning: result of '10^6' is 12; did you mean '1e6'?
