Feature #9985
closedFold temporary variables back
0%
Description
To simplify complex expressions that contain function calls CIL introduces temporary variables. This is good for internals but not so good for users of outputted code.

- Status changed from New to Open
- Ternary operator
_?_:_is not supported and is rewritten into an if — then — else with a temporary variable as before - Constant initializers still use temporary variables with the names of the form __const_expr#
- Expression statements of the form
{ ...; result }still introduce a temporary variable
Many other constructions, notably, nested function calls, side-effecting expressions, and some type casts are successfully inlined. The inlining is activated with an option -fold-temp-vars. I'd also recommend to use it in conjunction with -no-single-return, -keep-logical-operators and -no-print-cil-as-is (the default) to make the resulting output as close as possible to the original source.

After running something like:
toplevel.opt "-no-autoload-plugins" "-no-findlib" "-kernel-log" "e:problem desc.txt" "-machdep" "gcc_x86_64" "-c11" "-kernel-warn-key" "CERT:MSC:38=active" "-remove-unused-inline-functions" "-remove-unused-static-functions" "-no-annot" "-no-single-return" "-fold-temp-vars" "-shrink-initializers" "-print-cil-as-is" "-keep-logical-operators" "-aggressive-merging" "-print" "-print-lines" "-no-print-annot" "-ocode" "cil.i" ...
on the code attached, I got invalid statements as a result:
usb_fill_int_urb(hwarc->neep_urb,usb_dev,08 tmp_1 = __create_pipe(usb_dev,(unsigned int)epd->bEndpointAddress) | 1073741952U,hwarc->rd_buffer,4096,& hwarc_neep_cb,(void *)hwarc,(int)epd->bInterval);

Another failure (perhaps due to the same reasons) is for the attached code:
#line 614 return 614 tmp = devm_kmalloc(dev,size,gfp | 32768U);

Fixed in framac|7d70550d. This was due to -print-lines interfering with intermediate printing of nested expressions, the new option was not tested in this combination yet.

There are still temporary variables in such statements as "if (!func(...)) ...".

I attached an example where this issue exists.

Added a special case for int casts in conditional expressions in framac|918782e6. (int)cond was treated differently because CIL only supports logical expressions with side effects as conditions in if statements (note that there is no way to use A && B if B has a side-effect and we do not unfold temporary variables, but at the Cabs2cil stage this is not yet known and moreover can fail in general), in other contexts they are rewritten to temporaries as if cond then 1 else 0. With an additional cast the logical expression becomes nested into another expression and is rewritten with a temporary.

Despite some explicitly mentioned and expected cases the new option works perfectly. At last we see no temporary variables in Klever while there is no more an in-house dreadful code that folded them for violation witnesses.
