This is smaller and uses less stack depth per expression (eight function
calls from expr_or to get down to a unary). It's a tiny bit faster
depending on how good the branch predictor is, on my machine a wash.
ELF files that refer to shared libs containing sym-versions, but
don't refer to any dynamic symbols with symbol versions (should happen
only with very simple shared libs) would generate an empty .gnu.version_r
section. Some dynamic linker contain bugs in that they don't check
the section size or DT_VERNEEDNUM (which are both zero for such files
we generate) before accessing the first entry, and then bail out with
a message like
./a.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ./a1.so: unsupported
version 25960 of Verneed record
(where the "version number" actually comes from neighboring bytes
from different sections).
So, there's not much choice, we simply must not generate such section.
- tests2/113_btdll.c: test handling multiple stabs infos
Also:
- libtcc.c: remove _ISOC99_SOURCE pre-defines. It is causing
strange warnings such as 'strdup not declared'
- i386/x86_64-gen.c cleanup bounds_pro/epilog. This discards
the extra code for main's argv. If needed, __argv might be
processed instead.
- tccgen.c:block(): reduce stackspace usage. For example with
code like "if (..) ... else if (..) ... else if (..)... "
considerable numbers of nested block() calls may occur.
Before that most stack space used when compiling itself was
for libtcc.c:tcc_set_linker().
Now it's rather this construct at tccpp.c:2765: in next_nomacro1():
if (!((isidnum_table[c - CH_EOF] & (IS_ID|IS_NUM))
|| c == '.'
|| ((c == '+' || c == '-')
...
the strcat checker first checks dest for overlap, then src.
If the padding byte between b[] and the pad[] arrays happens to be zero
the dest check would have succeeded and the src test failed. If that
padding byte would be zero the dest check would trigger first.
As we can't influence the padding byte (only the b[] and pad[] arrays)
it was random if the dest or src checks triggered.
This makes it reliably trigger the dest check first.
This makes it possible to get backtraces with executables
(including DLLs/SOs) like we had it already with -g -run.
Option -b includes -bt, and -bt includes -g.
- new file lib/bt-exe.c: used to link rt_printline and the
exception handler from tccrun.c into executables/DLLs.
- new file lib/bt-log.c: provides a function that may be
called from user code to print out a backtrace with a
message (currently for i386/x86_64 only):
int (*tcc_backtrace)(const char *fmt, ...);
As an extra hack, if 'fmt' is prefixed like "^file.c^..."
then the backtrace will skip calls from within 'file.c'.
- new file lib/bt-dll.c: used on win32 to link the backtrace
and bcheck functions with the main module at runtime
- bcheck.c: now uses the tcc_backtrace function from above
- tccgen.c: minor cleanups
- tccelf.c: stab sections get SHF_ALLOC for easy access.
Also in relocate_section(): 64bit relocations for stabs
in DLLs cannot work. To find DLL addresses, the DLL base
is added manually in tccrun.c via rc.prog_base instead.
- tccpe.c: there are some changes to allow merging sections,
used to merge .finit_array into .data in the first place.
- tccpp.c: tcc -run now #defines __TCC_RUN__
also: refactor a line in tal_realloc that was incompatible
with bcheck
- tcctest.c: fixed a problem with r12 which tcc cannot preserve
as well as gcc does.
- tests2/112_backtrace.c: test the feature and the bcheck test18
that previously was in boundtest.c
remove quadratic loops by not using side tables; address-taken
can simply be a flag per local sym, and the lbounds section can
be filled after symbols go out of scope at which point we know
if the address was taken, so that there's no need to compress it
again after the funcion is done.
we were emitting error messages for something like
'static int i = 2 || 1/0', even though the exception would be in
the unevaluated part. This doesn't destroy const-ness, so we must
accept it. This requires splitting the nocode_wanted values a bit more,
so that nocode_wanted due to const_wanted can be differentiated from
nocode_wanted due to non-evaluation.
Add __attribute__((constructor)) to __bounds_init.
- remove tcc_add_bcheck from i386-link.c and x86_64-link.c
- add simplified tcc_add_bcheck to tccelf.c
- Update tccrun.c to call constructor/destructor.
Set dynsym sh_info to number of local symbols in tccelf.c
Reduce stack size when bounds checking is enabled.
Added variable TCC_LIBBCHECK for windows support.
Add signal stack to detect stack overflow.
Add all & parameters in lbound_section and remove them if not used.
Close fd in tcc_relocate in tccrun.c
Fix section type constructor/destructor in tccelf.c
Add check code in tests/boundtest.c for mem/str functions.
Remove -ba from documentation.
Add bounds check signal info in documentation.
bcheck.c:
- Fix initial_pool alignment.
. Fix printf statements.
. Add prototypes for all external interface functions.
- Add TCC_BOUNDS_WARN_POINTER_ADD environment variable.
. Add ctype and errno data.
- Fix alloca when multithreading is used.
- Add lock for __bound_checking and __bound_never_fatal.
- Catch pthread_create and use locks when called.
- Detect in loaded in shared lib and use locks when found
- Use spin locks instead of semaphore locks.
- Make spin locked code as small as possible.
- Fix mem/str functions checking.
- Fix overlap checking mem/str functions.
this is a bit complicated: for i386 and x86-64 we really need to
extend return values ourself, as the common code now does. For arm64
this at least preserves old behaviour. For riscv64 we don't have to
extend ourself but can expect things to be extended up to int (this
matters for var-args tests, when the sign-extension to int64 needs to
happen explicitely). As the extensions are useless, don't do them.
And for arm32 we actually can't express GCC behaviour: the callee side
expects the return value to be correctly extended to int32, but
remembers the original type. In case the ultimate target type for the
call result is only int, no further extension is done. But in case
the target type is e.g. int64 an extension happens, but not from int32
but from the original type. We don't know the ultimate target type,
so we have to choose a type to put into vtop:
* original type (plus VT_MUSTCAST) - this looses when the ultimate
target is int (GCC: no cast, TCC: a cast)
* int (without MUSTCAST) - this looses when the ultimate target is
int64 (GCC: cast from original type, TCC: cast from int)
This difference can only be seen with undefined sources, like the
testcases, so it doesn't seem worthwhile to try an make it work, just
disable the test on arm and choose the second variant as that generates
less code.
This allows adding files or libraries from
#pragma comment(option, ...)
Also, {f}/file.c will be expanded with the directory of
the current source, that is the file that has the #pragma
Put total_lines etc. into TCCState. Also, initialize
the predefined compiler types for the preprocessor too.
tccpe.c: fix BaseOfCode if .init section present (with tcc -b)
protect some more accesses to global data with the semaphore.
(And for the testcase: don't just write into global data, use local
copies; it's not important for speed here).
* a major revision of the rt_printline() feature in
tccrun.c to report file:linenumber more correctly.
* minor changes to the stab info produced by the
compiler in tccgen.c
However stab addresses are limited to 32 bits. I added
a work around:
if (sizeof pc == 8)
pc |= wanted_pc & 0xffffffff00000000ULL;
However GDB has problems with that too.
- revert Makefiles to state before last bcheck additions
Instead, just load bcheck.o explicitly if that is
what is wanted.
- move tcc_add_bcheck() to the <target>-link.c files and
remove revently added arguments. This function is to
support tccelf.c with linking, not for tccgen.c to
support compilation.
- remove -ba option: It said:
"-ba Enable better address checking with bounds checker"
Okay, if it is better then to have it is not an option.
- remove va_copy. It is C99 and we try to stay C89 in tinycc
when possible. For example, MS compilers do not have va_copy.
- win64: revert any 'fixes' to alloca
It was correct as it was before, except for bound_checking
where it was not implemented. This should now work too.
- remove parasitic filename:linenum features
Such feature is already present with rt_printline in
tccrun.c. If it doesn't work it can be fixed.
- revert changes to gen_bounded_ptr_add()
gen_bounded_ptr_add() was working as it should before
(mostly). For the sake of simplicity I switched it to
CDECL. Anyway, FASTCALL means SLOWCALL with tinycc.
In exchange you get one addition which is required for
bounds_cnecking function arguments. The important thing
is to check them *BEFORE* they are loaded into registers.
New function gbound_args() does that.
In any case, code instrumentation with the bounds-check
functions as such now seems to work flawlessly again,
which means when they are inserted as NOPs, any code that
tcc can compile, seems to behave just the same as without
them.
What these functions then do when fully enabled, is a
differnt story. I did not touch this.
There was a problem with strncpy and strncmp.
Made bound_ptr_add and bound_ptr_indir a little bit faster.
Fix statistic counter types. Change long into long long.
The following functions are now also bounds checked:
memcmp, strncpy, strcmp, strncmp, strcat, strchr, strdup.
Add statistics code for bounds checking functions.
The statistics can be printed by settings environment variable
"TCC_BOUNDS_PRINT_STATISTIC".
Enabled more tests in test/Makefile.
The bounds checking code has now enabled gen_bounded_ptr_add tests.
This makes the code slower but finds more errors.
I had to correct some things in tcc to make it work.
- Fixed off by one in lib/bcheck.c
- Corrected tccelf.c sym_versions.
- Disabled USE_TAL when using bounds checking.
- Fixed cstr_printf va_start.
- Fixed tests/tests2/46_grep.c off by one error.
- Updated gen_bounded_ptr_add in x86_64-gen.c
- Fixed x86_64-link.c pointer diff.
For gen_vla_alloc now always use alloca call when bounds checking.
Added line/filename in %rax before bound calls to find location of error.
my last patch here fixed a missing dependency, but in the wrong
way. It would build some object files twice, which could race.
The lib/all target already builds both libtcc{,b}1.a libs, so
a simple dependency is enough.
This allows creation of TCCStates and operation with API
calls independently from each other, even from threads.
Frontend (option parsing/libtcc.c) and backend (linker/tccelf.c)
now depend only on the TCCState (s1) argument.
Compilation per se (tccpp.c, tccgen.c) is still using
globals for convenience. There is only one entry point
to this section which is tcc_compile() which is protected
by a semaphore.
There are some hacks involved to avoid too many changes,
as well as some changes in order to avoid too many hacks ;)
The test libtcc_test_mt.c shows the feature. Except this
new file the patch adds 87 lines overall.
