Hi! The testcase has UB at runtime, placement new shouldn't construct an object with certain alignment requirements into an unaligned buffer.
Discussed on IRC, tested on x86_64-linux -m32/-m64, committed to trunk. 2022-03-30 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR tree-optimization/80334 PR target/102772 * g++.dg/torture/pr80334.C: Change from dg-do run to dg-do compile. --- gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/torture/pr80334.C.jj 2020-01-12 11:54:37.268400509 +0100 +++ gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/torture/pr80334.C 2022-03-30 15:56:54.259507802 +0200 @@ -1,4 +1,8 @@ -// { dg-do run } +// This used to be dg-do run testcase, but it is invalid at runtime: +// trying to do a placement new of A which is 16-byte sized and aligned +// into a 16-byte buffer at offset 17 bytes from 16-byte aligned address +// is UB. +// { dg-do compile } struct A { alignas(16) char c; }; struct B { A unpacked; char d; } __attribute__((packed)); Jakub
