* Native support for bit fields (#400)Xavier Leroy2021-08-221-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This big PR adds support for bit fields in structs and unions to the verified part of CompCert, namely the CompCert C and Clight languages. The compilation of bit field accesses to normal integer accesses + shifts and masks is done and proved correct as part of the Cshmgen pass. The layout of bit fields in memory is done by the functions in module Ctypes. It follows the ELF ABI layout algorithm. As a bonus, basic soundness properties of the layout are shown, such as "two different bit fields do not overlap" or "a bit field and a regular field do not overlap". All this replaces the previous emulation of bit fields by source-to-source rewriting in the unverified front-end of CompCert (module cparse/Bitfield.ml). This emulation was prone to errors (see nonstandard layout instead. The core idea for the PR is that expressions in l-value position denote not just a block, a byte offset and a type, but also a bitfield designator saying whether all the bits of the type are accessed (designator Full) or only some of its bits (designator Bits). Designators of the Bits kind appear when the l-value is a bit field access; the bit width and bit offset in Bits are computed by the functions in Ctypes that implement the layout algorithm. Consequently, both in the semantics of CompCert C and Clight and in the SimplExpr, SimplLocals and Cshmgen compilation passes, pairs of a type and a bitfield designator are used in a number of places where a single type was used before. The introduction of bit fields has a big impact on static initialization (module cfrontend/Initializers.v), which had to be rewritten in large part, along with its soundness proof (cfrontend/Initializersproof.v). Both static initialization and run-time manipulation of bit fields are tested in test/abi using differential testing against GCC and randomly-generated structs. This work exposed subtle interactions between bit fields and the volatile modifier. Currently, the volatile modifier is ignored when accessing a bit field (and a warning is printed at compile-time), just like it is ignored when accessing a struct or union as a r-value. Currently, the natural alignment of bit fields and their storage units cannot be modified with the aligned attribute. _Alignas on bit fields is rejected as per C11, and the packed modifier cannot be applied to a struct containing bit fields.
* Use the LGPL instead of the GPL for dual-licensed filesXavier Leroy2021-05-081-4/+5
| | | | | | The GPL makes sense for whole applications, but the dual-licensed Coq and OCaml files are more like libraries to be combined with other code, so the LGPL is more appropriate.
* Make casts of pointers to _Bool semantically well defined (again).Xavier Leroy2016-03-021-4/+4
| | | | | | In compCert 2.5 the semantics of pointer comparisons against the NULL pointer was made more accurate by making it undefined if the pointer is invalid (outside bounds). Technical difficulties prevented this change from being propagated to the semantics of casts from pointer types to the _Bool type, which involves an implicit pointer comparison against NULL. Hence, this kind of casts was temporarily given undefined semantics. This commit makes pointer-to-_Bool casts semantically defined (again), provided the pointer is valid. This reinstates the equivalence between casts to _Bool and comparisons != 0. The technical difficulties mentioned above came from the translation of assignments in a value context in the SimplExpr pass. The pass was lightly modified to work around the issue.

* - Support "switch" statements over 64-bit integersxleroy2014-08-171-5/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | (in CompCert C to Cminor, included) - Translation of "switch" to decision trees or jumptables made generic over the sizes of integers and moved to the Cminor->CminorSel pass instead of CminorSel->RTL as before. - CminorSel: add "exitexpr" to support the above. - ValueDomain: more precise analysis of comparisons against an integer literal. E.g. "x >=u 0" is always true. git-svn-id: https://yquem.inria.fr/compcert/svn/compcert/trunk@2565 fca1b0fc-160b-0410-b1d3-a4f43f01ea2e
* Simpler, more robust emulation of calls to variadic functions:xleroy2013-12-281-10/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | - C function types and Cminor signatures annotated by calling conventions. esp. vararg / not vararg - Cshmgen: generate correct code for function call where there are more arguments than listed in the function prototype. This is still undefined behavior according to the formal semantics, but correct code is generated. - C2C, */PrintAsm.ml: remove "printf$iif" hack. - powerpc/, checklink/: don't generate stubs for variadic functions. git-svn-id: https://yquem.inria.fr/compcert/svn/compcert/trunk@2386 fca1b0fc-160b-0410-b1d3-a4f43f01ea2e

* Merge of the clightgen branch:xleroy2012-12-291-9/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Alternate semantics for Clight where function parameters are temporaries, not variables - New pass SimplLocals that turns non-addressed local variables into temporaries - Simplified Csharpminor, Cshmgen and Cminorgen accordingly - SimplExpr starts its temporaries above variable names, therefoe Cminorgen no longer needs to encode variable names and temps names. - Simplified Cminor parser & printer, as well as Errors, accordingly. - New tool clightgen to produce Clight AST in Coq-parsable .v files. - Removed side condition "return type is void" on rules skip_seq in the semantics of CompCert C, Clight, C#minor, Cminor. - Adapted RTLgenproof accordingly (now uses a memory extension). git-svn-id: https://yquem.inria.fr/compcert/svn/compcert/trunk@2083 fca1b0fc-160b-0410-b1d3-a4f43f01ea2e
