--- Comment #1 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:14f5e56a8a766c6f48c2a07b301fce2db1a19a3c commit r13-6589-g14f5e56a8a766c6f48c2a07b301fce2db1a19a3c Author: David Malcolm <dmalc...@redhat.com> Date: Fri Mar 10 11:55:44 2023 -0500 analyzer: fix leak false +ve seen in haproxy's cfgparse.c [PR109059] If a bound region gets overwritten with UNKNOWN due to being possibly-aliased during a write, that could have been the only region keeping its value live, in which case we could falsely report a leak. This is hidden somewhat by the "uncertainty" mechanism for cases where the write happens in the same stmt as the last reference to the value goes away, but not in the general case, which occurs in PR analyzer/109059, which falsely complains about a leak whilst haproxy updates a doubly-linked list. The whole "uncertainty_t" class seems broken to me now; I think we need to track (in the store) what values could have escaped to the external part of the program. We do this to some extent for pointers by tracking the region as escaped, though we're failing to do this for this case: even though there could still be other pointers to the region, eventually they go away; we want to capture the fact that the external part of the state is still keeping it live. Also, this doesn't work for non-pointer svalues, such as for detecting file-descriptor leaks. As both a workaround and a step towards eventually removing "class uncertainty_t" this patch updates the "mark_region_as_unknown" code called by possibly-aliased set_value so that when old values are removed, any base region pointed to them is marked as escaped, fixing the leak false positive. The patch has this effect on my integration tests of -fanalyzer: Comparison: GOOD: 129 (19.20% -> 20.22%) BAD: 543 -> 509 (-34) where there's a big improvement in -Wanalyzer-malloc-leak: -Wanalyzer-malloc-leak: GOOD: 61 (45.19% -> 54.95%) BAD: 74 -> 50 (-24) Known false positives: 25 -> 2 (-23) haproxy-2.7.1: 24 -> 1 (-23) Suspected false positives: 49 -> 48 (-1) coreutils-9.1: 32 -> 31 (-1) and some churn in the other warnings: -Wanalyzer-use-of-uninitialized-value: GOOD: 0 BAD: 81 -> 80 (-1) -Wanalyzer-file-leak: GOOD: 0 BAD: 10 -> 11 (+1) -Wanalyzer-out-of-bounds: GOOD: 0 BAD: 24 -> 22 (-2) gcc/analyzer/ChangeLog: PR analyzer/109059 * region-model.cc (region_model::mark_region_as_unknown): Gather a set of maybe-live svalues and call on_maybe_live_values with it. * store.cc (binding_map::remove_overlapping_bindings): Add new "maybe_live_values" param; add any removed svalues to it.
