Bug ID: 110399 Summary: pointer substraction causes coredump with ftrapv on edge case Product: gcc Version: unknown Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: baiwfg2 at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- The demo code is : ```c #include <stdio.h> #include <stdint.h> #include <signal.h> #include <assert.h> int main() { { char *p = (char *)0x80000001; char *q = (char *)0x7fffffff; uint32_t w = p - q; printf("32 bit, w1=%u\n", w); } { char *p = (char *)0x7fffffffffffffff; char *q = (char *)0x7ffffffffffffffd; uint32_t w2 = p - q; printf("w2=%u\n", w2); } { char *p = (char *)0x8000000000000003; char *q = (char *)0x8000000000000001; uint32_t w3 = p - q; printf("w3=%u\n", w3); } { char *p = (char *)0x8000000000000001; char *q = (char *)0x0000000000000001; uint32_t w4 = p - q; printf("w4=%u\n", w4); // ans is 0, not crash under -ftrapv } { char *p = (char *)0x8000000000000001; char *q = (char *)0x7fffffffffffffff; uint32_t w5 = (uintptr_t)p - (uintptr_t)q; printf("w5=%u\n", w5); } { char *p = (char *)0x8000000000000001; // use uint8_t also crash char *q = (char *)0x7fffffffffffffff; // use smaller num 0x0000000000000011, also crash uint32_t w6 = p - q; printf("w6=%u\n", w6); // crash under gcc -ftrapv, not crash under clang -ftrapv } return 0; } ``` The statement w6 = p - q cause coredump. But what program actually means do pointer unsigned arithmetic operation. How can I make it right(that is, output 2) with ftrapv option ? I find it's ok with clang -ftrapv . This happens on many gcc versions.
