[PATCH v2] trace2: refactor to avoid gcc warning under -O3

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Refactor tr2_dst_try_uds_connect() to avoid a gcc warning[1] that
appears under -O3 (but not -O2). This makes the build pass under
DEVELOPER=1 without needing a DEVOPTS=no-error.

This can be reproduced with GCC Debian 8.3.0-6, but not e.g. with
clang 7.0.1-8+deb10u2. We've had this warning since
ee4512ed481 (trace2: create new combined trace facility, 2019-02-22).

As noted in [2] this warning happens because the compiler doesn't
assume that errno must be non-zero after a failed syscall. Let's work
around it as suggested in that analysis. We now return -1 ourselves on
error, and save away the value of errno in a variable the caller
passes in.

See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=61846 for a related
bug report against GCC.

Having read Johannes's comments I think it's still most readable to
just return -1 unconditionally. The resulting code isn't weird, I'd
argue that it's a better pattern to save away errno like this, but the
commit messages notes that we're working around a GCC bug.

Done, and also changed the variable name to minimize the size of the
diff. A shorter name allowed for less re-flowing of lines.
