Skip integer overflow check for pointer difference - #9229
Merged
Merged
Conversation
The integer_overflow_check in check_rec_arithmetic_op builds overflow-(p, q) for a pointer subtraction q - p, which tests the operand type (unsigned/pointer) rather than the result type (ptrdiff_t). This incorrectly flags q - p as overflowing whenever q < p, even though the result is always representable in ptrdiff_t when both pointers are into the same array. Skip the integer overflow check for pointer differences. The pointer-arithmetic bounds checks already verify that both operands are within the same object.

The integer_overflow_check in check_rec_arithmetic_op builds
overflow-(p, q) for a pointer subtraction q - p, which tests the
operand type (unsigned/pointer) rather than the result type
(ptrdiff_t). This incorrectly flags q - p as overflowing whenever
q < p, even though the result is always representable in ptrdiff_t
when both pointers are into the same array.
Skip the integer overflow check for pointer differences. The
pointer-arithmetic bounds checks already verify that both operands
are within the same object.
