Well, technically, C 20.

Test cases?

GCC doesn't seem to have __builtin_memccpy? https://godbolt.org/z/jbthQ3

It is not very obvious for me what kind of test should be done here. I would be grateful if you could show me an example in tree.

Exactly for -fno-builtin-memccpy case?

Ok, I will drop it.

It is not very obvious for me what kind of test should be done here. I would be grateful if you could show me an example in tree.

I was thinking of something in CodeGen, like CodeGen/builtin-memfns.c

Exactly for -fno-builtin-memccpy case?

That would be another good test case.

If you drop it, won't that lose the builtin? I was mostly thinking it's in the wrong part of the list of builtins.

Rebuilding LLVM + Clang in progress so I just checked it in godbolt with "strtol" - defined only as LIBBUILTIN, no __builtin version.

nobuiltin attribute is correctly handled, so I think it will work.

Ah, I see the issue better now. The description for this review was very terse and it wasn't immediately clear what problem you were trying to solve.

Yeah, I think this declaration can go away.

Isn't memccpy supported by Visual Studio? What should happen there?

”This POSIX function is deprecated. Use the ISO C++ conformant _memccpy instead.“

Thanks for verifying it's still supported (deprecated != unsupported). We do support other Microsoft builtins, so should this one be added?

Ok, I will add it.

One last question, should I somehow represent that memccpy is in C 20 (if so, how) ?

You should probably start a new section for C2x library functions and add memccpy, strdup, and strndup to it.

Also, just to double-check: we don't encode restrict into builtin signatures, do we? (Should we?)

Yeah, I am sorry, more context why this is needed:

Okay, thanks - probably not needed for now (should be separate patch to handle new functions in C 2X anyway; maybe more functions to be added?)

Also, just to double-check: we don't encode restrict into builtin signatures, do we? (Should we?)

Maybe catch very simple overlap issues? I dont think this is worth it (we have sanitizers). LLVM annotates libc functions with noalias anyway.

Thank you for the extra context!

Yeah, can totally be done in a separate patch.

Maybe catch very simple overlap issues? I dont think this is worth it (we have sanitizers). LLVM annotates libc functions with noalias anyway.

Sanitizers don't run everywhere, but more importantly, I was wondering about the possible optimization opportunities by noting which arguments cannot overlap with one another (perhaps noalias covers that; I'm less familiar with the llvm side of things).

However, I looked at the file and see we don't have any encodings for it, so nothing to be done here.

This is implemented in LLVM.

For example: https://godbolt.org/z/E8x2Ev (see line 10).

Sanitizers don't run everywhere

GCC emits a lot of warnings from middle-end. While I dont like some implementations which are part of regular pass, but extra warning pass just to check specific thing is nice idea I think (that pass is enabled only with -Wxxxx flag).

Added some tests

xbolva00 updated this revision to Diff 223441.Oct 6 2019, 12:37 PM

Added it for msvc too.

Hm,
Maybe we have a bug in LLVM's TLI? TLI says Win32 has no memccpy.

cc @RKSimon since he knows windows-related things more.

We may not have the machinery needed for doing this yet, in which case, I think it's fine to ignore the MS builtin.
