Bug ID: 114507 Summary: FR: Randomize order of evluation of function of arguments Product: gcc Version: unknown Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: vt at altlinux dot org Target Milestone: --- There is class of bugs when, for example, printf is called with several functions that output to the same static buffer overwriting each others result. This could be hard to detect in legacy code, for example there is nested calls invisible from top level functions, also compiler tend to create the same call order, so if overwriting is order dependent it could be undetected for years and appear on some rare architecture when compiler reorder calls [1]. To detect this kind of bugs it would be useful to have compiler option to reorder function arguments evaluation randomly. With this test suites will have a _chance_ to detect the bugs even on one architecture. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240323091717.dtsioyvjnhl5d...@altlinux.org/
