>From 90599fb7db22298ec062a75f10e1a3b4c5578c55 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Eggert Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2020 14:47:45 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] verify: avoid __built_assume on Clang MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit * lib/verify.h (assume): Do not use Clang’s __builtin_assume, as Clang 9 incorrectly diagnoses arguments as having side effects even when they do not. I guess Clang 9 considers any function call as if it had a side effect here. --- ChangeLog | 6 ++++++ lib/verify.h | 18 +++++++----------- 2 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog index ba521c265..9ba0cda92 100644 --- a/ChangeLog +++ b/ChangeLog @@ -1,5 +1,11 @@ 2020-08-17 Paul Eggert + verify: avoid __built_assume on Clang + * lib/verify.h (assume): Do not use Clang’s __builtin_assume, as + Clang 9 incorrectly diagnoses arguments as having side effects + even when they do not.
