--- Comment #7 from CVS Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by Jakub Jelinek <ja...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:cc88366a80e35b3e53141f49d3071010ff3c2ef8 commit r13-6408-gcc88366a80e35b3e53141f49d3071010ff3c2ef8 Author: Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> Date: Thu Mar 2 09:27:40 2023 +0100 fold-const: Ignore padding bits in native_interpret_expr REAL_CST reverse verification [PR108934] In the following testcase we try to std::bit_cast a (pair of) integral value(s) which has some non-zero bits in the place of x86 long double (for 64-bit 16 byte type with 10 bytes actually loaded/stored by hw, for 32-bit 12 byte) and starting with my PR104522 change we reject that as native_interpret_expr fails on it. The PR104522 change extends what has been done before for MODE_COMPOSITE_P (but those don't have any padding bits) to all floating point types, because e.g. the exact x86 long double has various bit combinations we don't support, like pseudo-(denormals,infinities,NaNs) or unnormals. The HW handles some of those as exceptional cases and others similarly to the non-pseudo ones. But for the padding bits it actually doesn't load/store those bits at all, it loads/stores 10 bytes. So, I think we should exempt the padding bits from the reverse comparison (the native_encode_expr bits for the padding will be all zeros), which the following patch does. For bit_cast it is similar to e.g. ignoring padding bits if the destination is a structure which has padding bits in there. The change changed auto-init-4.c to how it has been behaving before the PR105259 change, where some more VCEs can be now done. 2023-03-02 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR c++/108934 * fold-const.cc (native_interpret_expr) <case REAL_CST>: Before memcmp comparison copy the bytes from ptr to a temporary buffer and clearing padding bits in there. * gcc.target/i386/auto-init-4.c: Revert PR105259 change. * g++.target/i386/pr108934.C: New test.
