Hit this when trying upgrade an old project of mine. I couldn't find a
corresponding existing issue for this when spelunking the open issues
here on github.
Thankfully I can work-around it today with the `[[clang::no_destroy]]`
attribute for my use case. However it should still be properly fixed.
### Issue and History ###
https://godbolt.org/z/EYnhce8MK for reference.
All subsequent text below refers to the example in the godbolt above.
Anonymous unions never have their destructor invoked automatically.
Therefore we can skip vtable initialization of the destructor of a
dynamic class if that destructor effectively does no work.
This worked previously as the following check would be hit and return
true for the trivial anonymous union,
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/release/18.x/clang/lib/CodeGen/CGClass.cpp#L1348,
resulting in the code skipping vtable initialization.
This was broken here
982bbf404e
in relation to comments made on this review here
https://reviews.llvm.org/D10508.
### Fixes ###
The check the code is doing is correct however the return value is
inverted. We want to return true here since a field with anonymous union
never has its destructor invoked and thus effectively has a trivial
destructor body from the perspective of requiring vtable init in the
parent dynamic class.
Also added some extra missing unit tests to test for this use case and a
couple others.
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
