Issue with packed structs and sizeof, alignof, offsetof in cparser/
CompCert has two implementations of sizeof, alignof and offsetof (byte offset of a struct field):
- the reference implementation, in Coq, from cfrontend/Ctypes.v
- the implementation used during elaboration, in OCaml, from cparser/Cutil.ml
The reference Coq implementation is used as much as possible, but sometimes during elaboration the size of a type must be computed (e.g. to compute array sizes), or the offset of a field (e.g. to evaluate __builtin_offsetof), in which case the OCaml implementation is used.
This causes issues with packed structs. Currently, the cparser/Cutil.ml functions ignore the "packed" attribute on structs. Their results disagree with the "true" sizes, alignments and offsets computed by the cfrontend/Ctypes.v functions after source-to-source transformation of packed structs as done in cparser/PackedStruct.ml. For example:
```
struct __packed__(1) s { char c; short s; int i; };
assert (__builtin_offsetof(struct s, i) == 3);
assert (sizeof(struct s) = sizeof(char[sizeof(struct s)]));
```
The two assertions fail. In the first assertion, __builtin_offsetof is elaborated to 4, because the packed attribute is ignored during elaboration. In the second assertion, the type `char[sizeof(struct s)]` is elaborated to `char[8]`, again because the packed attribute is ignored during elaboration, while the other `sizeof(struct s)` is computed as 7 after the source-to-source transformation of packed structs.
This commit changes the cparser/Cutil.ml functions so that they take the packed attribute into account when computing sizeof, alignof, offsetof, and struct_layout.
Related changes:
* cparser/Cutil: add `packing_parameters` function to extract packing info from attributes
* cparser/Cutil: refactor and share more code between sizeof_struct, offsetof, and struct_layout
* cparser/Elab: check the alignment parameters given in packed attributes. (The check was previously done in cparser/PackedStruct.ml but now it would come too late.)
* cparser/Elab: refactor the checking of alignment parameters between _Alignas, attribute((aligned)), __packed__, and attribute((packed)).
* cparser/PackedStructs: simplify the code, some functionality was moved to cparser/Cutil, other to cparser/Elab
* cfrontend/C2C: raise an "unsupported" error if a packed struct is defined and -fpacked-structs is not given. Before, the packed attribute would be silently ignored, but now doing so would cause inconsistencies between cfrontend/ and cparser/.
* test/regression/packedstruct1.c: add tests to compare the sizes and the offsets produced by the elaborator with those obtained after elaboration.
