Subject: Don't memcpy non-trivially-copyable types: Make enum_flags triv. copyable
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=23bcc18f470ee4364bd362a8b78c6c1415a9dadb;p=binutils-gdb.git

Don't memcpy non-trivially-copyable types: Make enum_flags triv. copyable

The delete-memcpy-with-non-trivial-types patch exposed many instances
of this problem:

  src/gdb/btrace.h: In function ‘btrace_insn_s* VEC_btrace_insn_s_quick_insert(VEC_btrace_insn_s*, unsigned int, const btrace_insn_s*, const char*, unsigned int)’:

     memmove (slot_ + 1, slot_, (vec_->num++ - ix_) * sizeof (T));    \

So, VECs (given it's C roots) rely on memcpy/memcpy of VEC elements to
be well defined, in order to grow/reallocate its internal elements
array.  This means that we can only put trivially copyable types in
VECs.  E.g., if a type requires using a custom copy/move ctor to
relocate, then we can't put it in a VEC (so we use std::vector
instead).  But, as shown above, we're violating that requirement.

btrace_insn is currently not trivially copyable, because it contains
an enum_flags field, and that is itself not trivially copyable.  This
patch corrects that, by simply removing the user-provided copy
constructor and assignment operator.  The compiler-generated versions
work just fine.

Note that std::vector relies on std::is_trivially_copyable too to know
whether it can reallocate its elements with memcpy/memmove instead of
having to call copy/move ctors and dtors, so if we have types in
std::vectors that weren't trivially copyable because of enum_flags,
this will make such vectors more efficient.
