Bug Description

After some conditional blocks, it's possible that an infinite loop is generated.

See: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=59358

This problem was fixed back in December 2013 in the 4.8 branch as well as the trunk branch. However, the trusty package ended up without the fix.

This is the patch that is missing:
https://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc/branches/gcc-4_8-branch/gcc/tree-vrp.c?view=patch&r1=205608&r2=205607&pathrev=205608

This has already affected a separate package, that needed to workaround the problem:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/krb5/+bug/1347147

And is now causing issues for users that run into this problem as well.

Please apply the patch to the gcc-4.8 version shipped on trusty and on utopic.

So, we have the following code:

void *lst_realloc(void *, int);

typedef struct smartlist_t {
 void **list;
 int num_used;
 int capacity;
} smartlist_t;

#define MAX_CAPACITY 32

void smartlist_ensure_capacity(smartlist_t *sl, int size) {
 if (size > sl->capacity) {
  int higher = sl->capacity;
  if (size > (int)MAX_CAPACITY/2) {
   higher = MAX_CAPACITY;
  }
  else {
   while (size > higher) {
    higher *= 2;
   }
  }
  sl->capacity = higher;
  sl->list = lst_realloc(sl->list, sl->capacity);
 }
}

Compiling that:
$ x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc-4.8.2 -Os -S -o test.s test.c

Gives:

 pushq %rbx
 cmpl 12(%rdi), %esi
 movq %rdi, %rbx
 jle .L1
 cmpl $16, %esi
 jg .L3
.L4:
 jmp .L4 <----- unexpected infinite loop if size <= capacity/2
.L3:
 movl $32, 12(%rdi)
 movq (%rdi), %rdi
 movl $32, %esi
 call lst_realloc
 movq %rax, (%rbx)
.L1:
 popq %rbx
 ret

Originally from the smartlist_ensure_capacity() function from TOR:

Reduced by o11c (https://gist.github.com/o11c/7729355) and got help from pinskia.

compiled with -O2, VRP1 seems guilty.

Untested fix. The problem is with:
Meeting
  [-INF, y_5(D) + -1] EQUIVALENCES: { z_4 } (1 elements)
and
  [-INF(OVF), 30]
to
  [-INF(OVF), y_5(D) + -1] EQUIVALENCES: { } (0 elements)
Found new range for z_1: [-INF(OVF), y_5(D) + -1]

Because one of the maximum is symbolic, y_5(D) + -1 and 30 are effectively uncomparable (operand_less_p doesn't return 1 for either order of those).
Apparently union_ranges implicitly assumes certain ordering based on earlier tests, like from
  else if ((maxeq || operand_less_p (vr1max, *vr0max) == 1)
           && (mineq || operand_less_p (*vr0min, vr1min) == 1))
being false it assumes that if
  else if ((operand_less_p (vr1min, *vr0max) == 1
            || operand_equal_p (vr1min, *vr0max, 0))
           && operand_less_p (*vr0min, vr1min) == 1
is true then operand_less_p (*vr0max, vr1max) == 1, but that is not guaranteed.

  [-INF(OVF), y_6(D) + -1] EQUIVALENCES: { } (0 elements)
Found new range for z_1: [-INF(OVF), y_6(D) + -1]

is obviously wrong. We run into

  else if ((operand_less_p (*vr0min, vr1max) == 1
            || operand_equal_p (*vr0min, vr1max, 0))
           && operand_less_p (vr1min, *vr0min) == 1)
    {
      /* ( [ ) ] or ( )[ ] */
      if (*vr0type == VR_RANGE
          && vr1type == VR_RANGE)
        *vr0min = vr1min;

where -INF < 30 and -INF(OVF) < -INF. But we have vr0max and vr1max unordered.

Thus we fail to verify that, assuming we've catched this case via

  else if ((maxeq || operand_less_p (vr1max, *vr0max) == 1)
           && (mineq || operand_less_p (*vr0min, vr1min) == 1))
    {
      /* [ ( ) ] or [( ) ] or [ ( )] */
...
  else if ((maxeq || operand_less_p (*vr0max, vr1max) == 1)
           && (mineq || operand_less_p (vr1min, *vr0min) == 1))
    {
      /* ( [ ] ) or ([ ] ) or ( [ ]) */

Fixing that does

Meeting
  [-INF, y_6(D) + -1] EQUIVALENCES: { z_5 } (1 elements)
and
  [-INF(OVF), 30]
to
  VARYING

optimally we'd be able to extract a conservative integer range from
the symbolic range - [-INF, +INF - 1] in this case - and meet them
to [-INF(OVF), +INF - 1] (assuming that y_6 did not overflow).

Hello Margarita, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gcc-4.8 into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.8/4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
