Summary:
C and C++ are interesting languages. They are statically typed, but weakly.
The implicit conversions are allowed. This is nice, allows to write code
while balancing between getting drowned in everything being convertible,
and nothing being convertible. As usual, this comes with a price:
```
unsigned char store = 0;
bool consume(unsigned int val);
void test(unsigned long val) {
if (consume(val)) {
// the 'val' is `unsigned long`, but `consume()` takes `unsigned int`.
// If their bit widths are different on this platform, the implicit
// truncation happens. And if that `unsigned long` had a value bigger
// than UINT_MAX, then you may or may not have a bug.
// Similarly, integer addition happens on `int`s, so `store` will
// be promoted to an `int`, the sum calculated (0+768=768),
// and the result demoted to `unsigned char`, and stored to `store`.
// In this case, the `store` will still be 0. Again, not always intended.
store = store + 768; // before addition, 'store' was promoted to int.
}
// But yes, sometimes this is intentional.
// You can either make the conversion explicit
(void)consume((unsigned int)val);
// or mask the value so no bits will be *implicitly* lost.
(void)consume((~((unsigned int)0)) & val);
}
```
Yes, there is a `-Wconversion`` diagnostic group, but first, it is kinda
noisy, since it warns on everything (unlike sanitizers, warning on an
actual issues), and second, there are cases where it does **not** warn.
So a Sanitizer is needed. I don't have any motivational numbers, but i know
i had this kind of problem 10-20 times, and it was never easy to track down.
The logic to detect whether an truncation has happened is pretty simple
if you think about it - https://godbolt.org/g/NEzXbb - basically, just
extend (using the new, not original!, signedness) the 'truncated' value
back to it's original width, and equality-compare it with the original value.
The most non-trivial thing here is the logic to detect whether this
`ImplicitCastExpr` AST node is **actually** an implicit conversion, //or//
part of an explicit cast. Because the explicit casts are modeled as an outer
`ExplicitCastExpr` with some `ImplicitCastExpr`'s as **direct** children.
https://godbolt.org/g/eE1GkJ
Nowadays, we can just use the new `part_of_explicit_cast` flag, which is set
on all the implicitly-added `ImplicitCastExpr`'s of an `ExplicitCastExpr`.
So if that flag is **not** set, then it is an actual implicit conversion.
As you may have noted, this isn't just named `-fsanitize=implicit-integer-truncation`.
There are potentially some more implicit conversions to be warned about.
Namely, implicit conversions that result in sign change; implicit conversion
between different floating point types, or between fp and an integer,
when again, that conversion is lossy.
One thing i know isn't handled is bitfields.
This is a clang part.
The compiler-rt part is D48959.

//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// // C Language Family Front-end //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// Welcome to Clang. This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages (C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM compiler infrastructure project. Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of different source-level tools. One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer. If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read the relevant web sites. Here are some pointers: Information on Clang: http://clang.llvm.org/ Building and using Clang: http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html Clang Static Analyzer: http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/ Information on the LLVM project: http://llvm.org/ If you have questions or comments about Clang, a great place to discuss them is on the Clang development mailing list: http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/cfe-dev If you find a bug in Clang, please file it in the LLVM bug tracker: http://llvm.org/bugs/
