[Bug tree-optimization/110501] Invalid use-after-free / realloc with a store/load happening
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110501 John Baldwin changed: What|Removed |Added CC||jhb at FreeBSD dot org --- Comment #7 from John Baldwin --- I believe I am hitting this same issue using GCC 13 to compile FreeBSD's userland. (I looked through several of the other bugs for the Wuse-after-free metabug and this one seems the closest to what I'm encountering). The code in question does not trigger the -Wuse-after-free warning when using GCC 12, but now triggers the warning with GCC 13. It is just calling free on the old value after realloc fails which should be safe. The simplest version I've encountered so far in FreeBSD's tree is this: static int group_resize(void) { char *buf; if (gbufsize == 0) gbufsize = 1024; else gbufsize *= 2; buf = gbuffer; gbuffer = realloc(buf, gbufsize); if (gbuffer == NULL) { free(buf); gbufsize = 0; return (ENOMEM); } memset(gbuffer, 0, gbufsize); return (0); } The warning triggers on the call to free: lib/libcasper/services/cap_grp/cap_grp.c: In function 'group_resize': lib/libcasper/services/cap_grp/cap_grp.c:65:17: error: pointer 'buf' may be used after 'realloc' [-Werror=use-after-free] 65 | free(buf); | ^ lib/libcasper/services/cap_grp/cap_grp.c:63:19: note: call to 'realloc' here 63 | gbuffer = realloc(buf, gbufsize); | ^~

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110501 --- Comment #6 from Cheyenne Wills --- Just another bit of information. Specifying just -Werror=use-after-free appears to be not not enough to trigger the problem. Using -Wall however does trigger the problem. (tried on gcc-12 and gcc-13)

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110501 --- Comment #4 from Cheyenne Wills --- (In reply to Andrew Pinski from comment #3) > Oh GCC warns even with optimizations turned on ... Correct. For gcc-12 the failure only occurs with -O0. With gcc-13 (and later), the problem occurs with or without optimization.
