--- Comment #7 from GCC Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The trunk branch has been updated by Andrew Pinski <pins...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:6ece2d7274059265468833fb491db44bd90de72a commit r16-3286-g6ece2d7274059265468833fb491db44bd90de72a Author: Andrew Pinski <andrew.pin...@oss.qualcomm.com> Date: Mon Aug 18 13:33:59 2025 -0700 middle-end: Fix malloc like functions when calling with void "return" [PR120024] When expanding malloc like functions, we copy the return register into a temporary and then mark that temporary register with a noalias regnote and the alignment. This works fine unless you are calling the function with a return type of void. At this point then the valreg will be null and a crash will happen. A few cleanups are included in this patch because it was easier to do the fix with the cleanups added. The start_sequence/end_sequence for ECF_MALLOC is no longer needed; I can't tell if it was ever needed. The emit_move_insn function returns the last emitted instruction anyways so there is no reason to call get_last_insn as we can just use the return value of emit_move_insn. This has been true since this code was originally added so I don't understand why it was done that way beforehand. Bootstrapped and tested on x86_64-linux-gnu. PR middle-end/120024 gcc/ChangeLog: * calls.cc (expand_call): Remove start_sequence/end_sequence for ECF_MALLOC. Check valreg before deferencing it when it comes to malloc like functions. Use the return value of emit_move_insn instead of calling get_last_insn. gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gcc.dg/torture/malloc-1.c: New test. * gcc.dg/torture/malloc-2.c: New test.
