--- Comment #7 from CVS Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by David Malcolm <[email protected]>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:dcfc7ac94dbcf6c86c0c58ce6dc1d8bd853e4093 commit r13-4520-gdcfc7ac94dbcf6c86c0c58ce6dc1d8bd853e4093 Author: David Malcolm <[email protected]> Date: Tue Dec 6 13:26:57 2022 -0500 analyzer: use __attribute__((nonnull)) at top level of analysis [PR106325] PR analyzer/106325 reports false postives from -Wanalyzer-null-dereference on code like this: __attribute__((nonnull)) void foo_a (Foo *p) { foo_b (p); switch (p->type) { /* ... */ } } where foo_b (p) has a: g_return_if_fail (p); that expands to: if (!p) { return; } The analyzer "sees" the comparison against NULL in foo_b, and splits the analysis into the NULL and not-NULL cases; later, back in foo_a, at switch (p->type) it complains that p is NULL. Previously we were only using __attribute__((nonnull)) as something to complain about when it was violated; we weren't using it as a source of knowledge. This patch fixes things by making the analyzer respect __attribute__((nonnull)) at the top-level of the analysis: any such params are now assumed to be non-NULL, so that the analyzer assumes the g_return_if_fail inside foo_b doesn't fail when called from foo_a Doing so fixes the false positives. gcc/analyzer/ChangeLog: PR analyzer/106325 * region-model-manager.cc (region_model_manager::get_or_create_null_ptr): New. * region-model-manager.h (region_model_manager::get_or_create_null_ptr): New decl. * region-model.cc (region_model::on_top_level_param): Add "nonnull" param and make use of it. (region_model::push_frame): When handling a top-level entrypoint to the analysis, determine which params __attribute__((nonnull)) applies to, and pass to on_top_level_param. * region-model.h (region_model::on_top_level_param): Add "nonnull" param. gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog: PR analyzer/106325 * gcc.dg/analyzer/attr-nonnull-pr106325.c: New test. * gcc.dg/analyzer/attribute-nonnull.c (test_6): New.
