Continue to heuristically pick the wider of the two operands for
narrowing conversion warnings so that some_char + 1 isn't treated as
being wider than a char, but use the more accurate computation for
tautological comparison warnings.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D85778
This warning diagnoses cases where an expression is compared to a
constant, and the comparison is tautological due to the form of the
expression (but not merely due to its type). This applies in cases such
as comparisons of bit-fields and the result of bit-masks.
The new warning is added to the Clang diagnostic group
-Wtautological-constant-in-range-compare but not to the
formerly-equivalent GCC-compatibility diagnostic group -Wtype-limits,
which retains its old meaning of diagnosing only tautological
comparisons to extremal values of a type (eg, int > INT_MAX).

This removes the following (already default-off) warnings from -Wextra:
-Wtautological-type-limit-compare,
-Wtautological-unsigned-zero-compare
-Wtautological-unsigned-enum-zero-compare
On the thread "[cfe-dev] -Wtautological-constant-compare issues", clang
code owners Richard Smith, John McCall, and Reid Kleckner as well as
libc++ code owner Marshall Clow stated that these new warnings are not
yet ready for prime time and shouldn't be part of -Wextra.
Furthermore, Vedant Kumar (Apple), Peter Hosek (Fuchsia), and me (Chromium)
expressed the same concerns (Vedant on that thread, Peter on
https://reviews.llvm.org/D39462, me on https://reviews.llvm.org/D41512).
So remove them from -Wextra, and remove TautologicalInRangeCompare from
TautologicalCompare too until they're usable with real-world code.
llvm-svn: 322901
Summary:
The diagnostic was mostly introduced in D38101 by me, as a reaction to wasting a lot of time, see [[ https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-commits/Week-of-Mon-20171009/206427.html | mail ]].
However, the diagnostic is pretty dumb. While it works with no false-positives,
there are some questionable cases that are diagnosed when one would argue that they should not be.
The common complaint is that it diagnoses the comparisons between an `int` and
`long` when compiling for a 32-bit target as tautological, but not when
compiling for 64-bit targets. The underlying problem is obvious: data model.
In most cases, 64-bit target is `LP64` (`int` is 32-bit, `long` and pointer are
64-bit), and the 32-bit target is `ILP32` (`int`, `long`, and pointer are 32-bit).
I.e. the common pattern is: (pseudocode)
```
#include <limits>
#include <cstdint>
int main() {
using T1 = long;
using T2 = int;
T1 r;
if (r < std::numeric_limits<T2>::min()) {}
if (r > std::numeric_limits<T2>::max()) {}
}
```
As an example, D39149 was trying to fix this diagnostic in libc++, and it was not well-received.
This *could* be "fixed", by changing the diagnostics logic to something like
`if the types of the values being compared are different, but are of the same size, then do diagnose`,
and i even attempted to do so in D39462, but as @rjmccall rightfully commented,
that implementation is incomplete to say the least.
So to stop causing trouble, and avoid contaminating upcoming release, lets do this workaround:
* move these three diags (`warn_unsigned_always_true_comparison`, `warn_unsigned_enum_always_true_comparison`, `warn_tautological_constant_compare`) into it's own `-Wtautological-constant-in-range-compare`
* Disable them by default
* Make them part of `-Wextra`
* Additionally, give `warn_tautological_constant_compare` it's own flag `-Wtautological-type-limit-compare`.
I'm not happy about that name, but i can't come up with anything better.
This way all three of them can be enabled/disabled either altogether, or one-by-one.

and fold together into a single function.
In so doing, fix a handful of remaining bugs where we would report false
positives or false negatives if we promote a signed value to an unsigned type
for the comparison.
This re-commits r320122 and r320124, minus two changes:
* Comparisons between a constant and a non-constant expression of enumeration
type never warn, not even if the constant is out of range. We should be
warning about the creation of such a constant, not about its use.
* We do not use more precise bit-widths for comparisons against bit-fields.
The more precise diagnostics probably are the right thing, but we should
consider moving them under their own warning flag.
Other than the refactoring, this patch should only change the behavior for the
buggy cases (where the warnings didn't take into account that promotion from
signed to unsigned can leave a range of inaccessible values in the middle of
the promoted type).

This caused a new warning in Chromium:
../../base/trace_event/trace_log.cc:1545:29: error: comparison of constant 64
with expression of type 'unsigned int' is always true
[-Werror,-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare]
DCHECK(handle.event_index < TraceBufferChunk::kTraceBufferChunkSize);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'unsigned int' is really a 6-bit bitfield, which is why it's always
less than 64.
I thought we didn't use to warn (with out-of-range-compare) when comparing
against the boundaries of a type?

The first attempt, rL315614 was reverted because one libcxx
test broke, and i did not know at the time how to deal with it.
Summary:
Currently, clang only diagnoses completely out-of-range comparisons (e.g. `char` and constant `300`),
and comparisons of unsigned and `0`. But gcc also does diagnose the comparisons with the
`std::numeric_limits<>::max()` / `std::numeric_limits<>::min()` so to speak
