* Native support for bit fields (#400)Xavier Leroy2021-08-221-13/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Initialization of anonymous bit-fields in structsXavier Leroy2018-04-251-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For anonymous bit-fields in structs, carrier fields may be introduced which are not initialized since no default initializer are generated earlier. This cause the translation in C2C to throw an error since too few initializers are available. Example: struct s2 { int : 10; int a; int : 10; char b; int : 10; short c; int : 10; } s2 = { 42, 'a', 43 }; To work around this issue we need to generate a default inializer for every new member that does not have a translated member. Based on P#80, with more efficient algorithms. Bug 23362
* Initialization of union bit fieldsXavier Leroy2018-04-251-0/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | Bit fields in unions were initialized like normal fields, causing mismatch on the name of the field. Also: added function Bitfields.carrier_field and refactored. Patch by Bernhard Schommer. Bug 23362
* Fix issue with bit fields of type _BoolXavier Leroy2015-07-081-7/+7
| | | | | | cparser/Bitfields.ml: when assigning to a bit field of type _Bool, the right-hand side must be normalized to 0 or 1 via a cast to _Bool. test/regression/bitfields{1,9}.c: add corresponding test cases.
* Extended inline asm: handle missing cases.Xavier Leroy2015-04-281-0/+49
Bitfields: better translation of initializers and compound literals; run this pass before unblocking. Transform.stmt: extend with ability to treat unblocked code. test/regression: more bitfield tests.
