[PATCH 1/1] btrfs-progs: fix compiler warning

[Christian Hesse]

gcc 4.9.0 gives a warning: format ‘%d’ expects argument of type ‘int’,
but argument 2 has type ‘u64’

Using %llu and casting to unsigned long long (same as bytenr) fixes this.

Yeah I think so.

Good catch

$ make CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -O2 -Wall -fno-tree-vrp" all

does not print the warning (gcc 4.8.1).

I'm not sure, that way lies gcc optimization maze.

Looking at the assembly from tree-vrp and no-tree-vrp it's probably the
case, the vrp-optimized version is restructured (and shorter) and looks
almost the same. Some of the bounds checks are missing (at least cannot
be easily paired). Better ask gcc people.

I do not see a bug either. So probably this is a false positive...

Looks like the warning is triggered as soon as -ftree-vrp is added to CFLAGS.
From gcc man page:

-ftree-vrp
       Perform Value Range Propagation on trees.  This is similar to the
       constant propagation pass, but instead of values, ranges of values are
       propagated.  This allows the optimizers to remove unnecessary range
       checks like array bound checks and null pointer checks.  This is
       enabled by default at -O2 and higher.  Null pointer check elimination
       is only done if -fdelete-null-pointer-checks is enabled.

Is it possibly that gcc optimized away any checks?

[PATCH 1/1] btrfs-progs: fix compiler warning

[Christian Hesse]

gcc 4.9.0 gives warnings about possibly uninitialized values when
compiling with function inlining and optimization level two enabled
(CFLAGS="-finline-functions -O2").

Initializing the values fixes the warning. Hope this is correct.

The warning appears with -O2, so the question is if gcc is not able to
reason about the values (ie. a false positive) or if there's a bug that
I don't see.

Exactly the same here. ;)

Probably. I did compile with optimization, so adding -O2 may do the trick:

make CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -O2" all

Also I faied to reproduce the bug.
Using gcc-4.9.0-3 from Archlinux core repo.

It seems to be related to default gcc flags from distribution?

Thanks,

I suppose gcc does not know how much level can be increased within
function next_leaf(). level > BTRFS_MAX_LEVEL is never met at runtime, but
this way gcc knows that level can never be bigger than BTRFS_MAX_LEVEL.

Any better way to fix this?

That fixes the warning, but I don't see the code path that leads to
 level >= BTRFS_MAX_LEVEL

On the first pass, when level = 1 and the first while() reaches at most
BTRFS_MAX_LEVEL, the equality test is enough. So it has to go through
the second while() where level is decremented and in the range
[1..BTRFS_MAX_LEVEL-1] before 'goto again' jumps to the first while
again.

[Christian Hesse]

gcc 4.9.0 gives a warning: array subscript is above array bounds

Checking for "greater or equal" instead of just "equal" fixes this.
