commit c8126360dfa98024cc40bce915e126309993cdf9 Author: Joseph Myers Date: Mon Aug 23 16:18:42 2021 +0000 Fix iconv build with GCC mainline Current GCC mainline produces -Wstringop-overflow errors building some iconv converters, as discussed at . Add an __builtin_unreachable call as suggested so that GCC can see the case that would involve a buffer overflow is unreachable; because the unreachability depends on valid conversion state being passed into the function from previous conversion steps, it's not something the compiler can reasonably deduce on its own. Tested with build-many-glibcs.py that, together with , it restores the glibc build for powerpc-linux-gnu. diff --git a/iconv/loop.c b/iconv/loop.c index 062cc1b868c1efa5..560a5f6394e8faf6 100644 --- a/iconv/loop.c +++ b/iconv/loop.c @@ -436,6 +436,12 @@ SINGLE(LOOPFCT) (struct __gconv_step *step, return __GCONV_FULL_OUTPUT; /* Now add characters from the normal input buffer. */ + if (inlen >= MAX_NEEDED_INPUT) + /* Avoid a -Wstringop-overflow= warning when this loop is + unrolled.
