In LazyValueInfoImpl::isNonNullAtEndOfBlock we populate a set of
pointers, known to be non-null at the end of a block (e.g. because we
did a load through them). We then infer that any pointer, based on an
element of this set is non-null as well ("based" here meaning a
non-null pointer is the underlying object). This is incorrect, even if
the base pointer was non-null, the value of a GEP, that lacks the
inbounds` attribute, may be null.
This issue appeared as miscompilation of the following test case:
int puts(const char *);
typedef struct iter {
int *val;
} iter_t;
static long distance(iter_t first, iter_t last) {
long r = 0;
for (; first.val != last.val; first.val++)
++r;
return r;
}
int main() {
int arr[2] = {0};
iter_t i, j;
i.val = arr;
j.val = arr + 1;
if (distance(i, j) >= 2)
puts("failed");
else
puts("passed");
}This fixes PR49662.
