Unlike C++, C allows the definition of an uninitialized `const` object.
If the object has static or thread storage duration, it is still
zero-initialized, otherwise, the object is left uninitialized. In either
case, the code is not compatible with C++.
This adds a new diagnostic group, `-Wdefault-const-init-unsafe`, which
is on by default and diagnoses any definition of a `const` object which
remains uninitialized.
It also adds another new diagnostic group, `-Wdefault-const-init` (which
also enabled the `unsafe` variant) that diagnoses any definition of a
`const` object (including ones which are zero-initialized). This
diagnostic is off by default.
Finally, it adds `-Wdefault-const-init` to `-Wc++-compat`. GCC diagnoses
these situations under this flag.
Fixes#19297
Part of the _BitInt feature in C2x
(http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2763.pdf) is a new
macro in limits.h named BITINT_MAXWIDTH that can be used to determine
the maximum width of a bit-precise integer type. This macro must expand
to a value that is at least as large as ULLONG_WIDTH.
This adds an implementation-defined macro named __BITINT_MAXWIDTH__ to
specify that value, which is used by limits.h for the standard macro.
This also limits the maximum bit width to 128 bits because backends do
not currently support all mathematical operations (such as division) on
wider types yet. This maximum is expected to be increased in the future.
WG14 adopted the _ExtInt feature from Clang for C23, but renamed the
type to be _BitInt. This patch does the vast majority of the work to
rename _ExtInt to _BitInt, which accounts for most of its size. The new
type is exposed in older C modes and all C++ modes as a conforming
extension. However, there are functional changes worth calling out:
* Deprecates _ExtInt with a fix-it to help users migrate to _BitInt.
* Updates the mangling for the type.
* Updates the documentation and adds a release note to warn users what
is going on.
* Adds new diagnostics for use of _BitInt to call out when it's used as
a Clang extension or as a pre-C23 compatibility concern.
* Adds new tests for the new diagnostic behaviors.
I want to call out the ABI break specifically. We do not believe that
this break will cause a significant imposition for early adopters of
the feature, and so this is being done as a full break. If it turns out
there are critical uses where recompilation is not an option for some
reason, we can consider using ABI tags to ease the transition.
_ExtInt types
- Fix computed size for _ExtInt types passed to checked arithmetic
builtins.
- Emit diagnostic when signed _ExtInt larger than 128-bits is passed
to __builtin_mul_overflow.
- Change Sema checks for builtins to accept placeholder types.
