I agree. Let's clear just the vbits in the values in a loop. I didn't know about the macro VALGRIND_MAKE_MEM_DEFINED so I'll use that one. I see that print_opnd is called sometimes before vbits get cleared by my new code so the clearing of vbits in print_opnd must remain in addition to this new one. I'll attach the new patch. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=417993 --- Comment #12 from Mark Wielaard --- I think your analysis is correct. We already seem to do this when printing out a complaint about a real mismatch. See memcheck/tests/vbits-test/util.c (print_opnd): /* The value itself might be partially or fully undefined, so take a copy, paint the copy as defined, and print the copied value. This is so as to avoid error messages from Memcheck, which are correct, but confusing. */ And testing your 3 line fix on s390x it does seem to work as expected: $ perl tests/vg_regtest memcheck/tests/vbit-test/vbit-test.vgtest vbit-test: valgrind -q --expensive-definedness-checks=yes ./vbit-test == 1 test, 0 stderr failures, 0 stdout failures, 0 stderrB failures, 0 stdoutB failures, 0 post failures == I think my only question is whether we should "clear" all of data or just the value fields of the result and opnds[] of the test_data_t? I guess it doesn't matter whether the rest of the test_data_t struct values are cleared too, but it might "hide" other/real bugs? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=417993 --- Comment #8 from Eyal --- Drawing up the truth table of those two versions of calculating a_min, I find that only the case when aa is unknown and vaa is 1 make any difference. The output in the version aa & ~vaa return 0 is aa==x and vaa==1. But for (aa)^aa, it gets unknown. Note that, if vaa is 1, the expression simplifies to (aa&1)^aa, which is just aa^aa, which is always 0 but the way that valgrind works, it can't recognize that the x on the left and the x on the right are the same x so its failing. We could not fix this without a major reworking of valgrind! I tried to reproduce this optimization by modifying the calculation in the code but it didn't make a difference. I suspect that the compiler is undoing the change as part of optimization. So I forced my computer to do it by changing this: value & ~vbits to: vbits_xor(vbits_and(value, vbits), value); and putting those files into separate compilations units, in files by themselves. This forces the code to run the instructions exactly as I specify. I definitely wouldn't suggest doing this long term but, for testing purposes, you can try it out. I have attached a patch that you can try. I've added new files so don't forget to run autogen.sh and configure again.) Now when I run this: make -j 20 check && valgrind -q --expensive-definedness-checks=yes memcheck/tests/vbit-test/vbit-test I get this every time: ==586817== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s) ==586817==at 0x110D4E: check_result_for_binary (binary.c:372) ==586817==by 0x1126B7: test_binary_op (binary.c:683) ==586817==by 0x110374: main (main.c:192) ==586817== Either of the patches that I have attached solve the problem so I feel confident that this will fix Andreas' problem. I much prefer the 3 line solution to the other one so I will deprecate that other solution. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

We refactor the code so that the computation is done before the vbits are set. And then we clear out all the vbits before we do the comparison. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=417993 --- Comment #5 from Eyal --- Like I said before: As part of the tests, some vbits get set. However, we need to clear them again before we compute the expectation or else the expectation *itself* will have vbits set in it. The expectation should have none. I'm unable to reproduce this myself but maybe someone else can test it? Thanks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=417993 Eyal changed: What|Removed |Added CC||eyals...@gmail.com --- Comment #4 from Eyal --- For each operand, we run multiple tests with various settings of value and vbits. A test ought to look like this: 1. Create variables aa and bb and vaa and vbb. 2. Set the vbits of aa and bb to be vaa and vbb, respectively. 3. Run that operand on aa and bb. 4. Extract the vbits that valgrind computed on the result. And for a check, we do this: 1. Run a helper function whose input is aa,bb,vaa, and vbb. 2. That helper function computes the vbits that we expect in the output of the operand. Finally, we compare the expected vbits against what valgrind came up with. In the function valgrind_execute_test, we set the vbits of aa and bb before we run the operand. That part is fine. But when we run the helper with the inputs aa,bb,vaa,vbb, there is no uncertainty there. We have, in fact, extracted the uncertainty from aa and bb into vaa and vbb and now, aa and bb have no uncertainty. They should have vbits 0, both of them. It's now up to the helper function to use the definite values of aa,bb,vaa, and vbb to compute the definite expected vbits of the operand. It would be easy to check. Just add a loop over the operands into check_result_for_binary that does this: opnd->vbits.bits = 0; valgrind_set_vbits(opnd); Maybe like 5 lines of code total? I don't have the right platform to test this out, though... If I make a patch, would someone like to test it? Eyal -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=417993 --- Comment #3 from Andreas Arnez --- (In reply to Mark Wielaard from comment #2) > Since s390x is also big endian maybe this is related to bug #417238 which > fixes an issue on mips64 BE and ppc64[be]? Thanks for pointing to this bug; I haven't seen that yet. I've retested with the fix from that Bug applied, and the false positive still remains. As far as I can tell, these two problems don't appear to be related. (On the plus side, the patch *does* fix another failure I've seen with vbit-test that occurs when adding s390x support for And1/Or1 and enabling their testing in vbit-test.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
