Bug 111832 – DFG overflow check elimination is too smart for its own good

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: JavaScriptCore

[Filip Pizlo]

I've learned that:

1) It's unsound, see test case below.

2) It takes up too much compile time while trying to be too smart.



function foo(a, b, o) {
    return (a + b + o.f) | 0;
}

eval("");

var array = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 10000; ++i) {
    var a, b, c;
    if (i < 100) {
        a = 1;
        b = 2;
        c = 3;
    } else {
        var j = i - 100;
        a = 2147483647 - ((j + 0) / 3) | 0;
        b = 2147483647 - ((j + 1) / 3) | 0;
        c = 4503599627370495 * Math.pow(2, (((j / 3) % 1000) | 0) - 1);
    }
    var result = foo(a, b, {f:c});
    if (i >= 100)
        array.push(result);
}

print(array);

Better test:



function foo(a, b, o) {
    return (a + b + o.f) | 0;
}

function bar(a, b, o) {
    eval(""); // Prevent this function from being compiled.
    return foo(a, b, o);
}

var badCases = [
    {a:2147483645, b:2147483644, c:9007199254740990, expected:-8},
    {a:2147483643, b:2147483643, c:18014398509481980, expected:-16},
    {a:2147483643, b:2147483642, c:36028797018963960, expected:-16},
    {a:2147483642, b:2147483642, c:36028797018963960, expected:-16},
    {a:2147483641, b:2147483640, c:144115188075855840, expected:-32},
    {a:2147483640, b:2147483640, c:144115188075855840, expected:-64},
    {a:2147483640, b:2147483639, c:288230376151711680, expected:-64},
    {a:2147483639, b:2147483639, c:288230376151711680, expected:-64}
];

var warmup = 100;

for (var i = 0; i < warmup + badCases.length; ++i) {
    var a, b, c;
    var expected;
    if (i < warmup) {
        a = 1;
        b = 2;
        c = 3;
        expected = 6;
    } else {
        var current = badCases[i - warmup];
        a = current.a;
        b = current.b;
        c = current.c;
        expected = current.expected;
    }
    var result = bar(a, b, {f:c});
    if (result != expected)
        print("Bad result: a = " + a + ", b = " + b + ", c = " + c + ": expected = " + expected + ", but got: " + result);
}

The actual patch will also have two test cases, but I haven't built the expectations files for those yet.
