Packed member warning: Use the typedef name for anonymous structures when it is available
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

This patch improves the packed member warning by showing the name of the anonymous structure/union when it was defined with a typedef, e.g. the code below:

typedef struct {
  char c;
  int x;
} __attribute__((packed)) Foo;
int *foo(Foo *f) { return &f->x; }

Would now produce the following warning:

taking address of packed member 'x' of class or structure 'Foo' may result in an unaligned pointer value

I had to reuploaded the diff as Phabricator seemed to have removed the 'lib' and 'test' paths prefixes from the filenames in the original diff.

Please don't use auto here since the type is not spelled directly in the initialization.

Can you add a test along the lines of:

struct S {
  union {
    char c;
    int x;
  } __attribute__((packed));
};

int *ugh(S *s) {
  return &s->x;   
}

Update to the patch that follows Aaron's comments:

  • Uses the explicit type name instead of auto.
  • Expands the test by adding a scenario where an inner anonymous union is contained in a structure.
