From time to time, we have this kind of code:
>>  MOZ_ASSERT(numElems = 16, "unexpected partial load");

We should implement in our clang-plugin a checker like that. Initially we should implement it for MOZ_ASSERT and later on we should extend it for NS_ASSERT
Summary: Analysis to produce an error on when having an attribution expression instead of logical expression in MOZ_ASSERT → [Static Analysis][Clang-Plugin] Analysis to produce an error on when having an attribution expression instead of logical expression in MOZ_ASSERT
Assignee: nobody → bpostelnicu
Priority: -- → P2
For what it's worth, recent clang has a new warning for side-effectful expressions that are used in an unevaluated context.  |numElems = 16| is a side-effectful expression.  And it happens that in MOZ_ASSERT's innards, we pass that expression through a decltype to verify that the expression isn't a function or a few other vacuously-true things.

So *if* people use new-enough clang, they will already get a warning for this.  And on that note, having just dealt with all such instances in bug 1282795, I can verify that building just SpiderMonkey doesn't encounter any instances of this.
Good, maybe we can call the code from clang.

I would probably call it assignment, but froydnj is the person who is reviewing the interface within the code.

I think most of this should be unnecessary. See my comment in TestAssertWithAttribution.cpp

::: build/clang-plugin/tests/TestAssertWithAttribution.cpp:1

This should be:

`static inline bool CP_AssertFuncTest(bool x) __attribute__((always_inline)) { return x; }`

no?

Why not avoid the complication of having to look through the unary operator, and just do this:

```
#define MOZ_ASSERT(cond) \
  if (MOZ_UNLIKELY(!CP_AssertFuncTest(cond))) { \
    MOZ_CRASH(); \
  }
```

That way you can just directly `IgnoreImplicit()` and then check for the `BinaryOperator` which is an assignment?

Please also add a test for assignment of a class with an overloaded operator=. Those assignment nodes look different in the AST. This should be tested for in this test whether or not we decide to error on them.

Why do we need a separate function marker when clang can figure this warning out without a separate function marker?  I'm not saying that we can't use separate function markers for this sort of thing (they're very useful!), but there's no justification here on why we need one.

What is the `CP` prefix here?  We would typically use `MOZ` for this kind of function.

How does this not get an unused argument error?

I understand what you are saying but what if we are dealing with a class that has overloaded operator bool and is specified as explicit, like:

  explicit operator bool() const { return true; }

This will not compile due to the explicit specifier that's why in the definition of MOZ_SA_CHECK_ATTRIB i've added ! operator.
Speaking now of the return type of CP_AssertFuncTest i prefer to have it void and not to include in in:

>     MOZ_CRASH(); \

I will implement this in my next patch.

This will greatly help us when we will integrate clang-plugin in the mozreview pipeline, by signing to the developer as errors these type of situations.

This statement doesn't actually answer the question.

With the MOZ_ prefix, of course.

then what?

Perhaps try this instead?

```
template<typename T>
static inline __attribute__((always_inline)) T&&
MOZ_AssertAssignmentTest(T&& e)
{
  return e;
}
```

And then use it inline within the MOZ_UNLIKELY as:

```
if (MOZ_UNLIKELY(!MOZ_AssertAssignmentTest(expr))) {
```

That being said, if clang has an analysis which detects side-effectful expressions in non-side-effectful situations, then we could potentially do something like:

```
decltype(expr)
```

inside of the MOZ_ASSERT, and trigger the warning that way. If we can use the existing clang analysis I would prefer that over rolling our own.

Making the MOZ_CHECK_ASSERT_ASSIGNMENT seperate means that the assignment will be checked twice instead of once. This seems like a bad thing.

just as we've talked on irc, MOZ_ASSERT is used in C files so this C++ syntax will not be supported, that's why in the first place i've used a simple C function
for our marker.

Yes you are right the expression will be evaluated two times, but i thought this can be mitigated since we don't un it in a live environment. Nether the less i will change it and include it in the If statement inside MOZ_UNLIKELY

Looking better, but could be simplified a bit :)

This seems simpler as we are considering much fewer cases in this version of the function than the original one:

```
bool ContainsAssignment(const Expr *E) {
  if (auto CE = dyn_cast<CXXOperatorCallExpr>(E)) {
    auto OP = CE->getOperator();
    if (OP == OO_Equal || (OP >= OO_PlusEqual && OP <= OO_PipeEqual)) {
      return true;
    }
  } else if (auto BO = dyn_cast<BinaryOperator>(E)) {
    if (BO->isAssignmentOp()) {
      return true;
    }
  }

  for (const Stmt *SubStmt : expr->children()) {
    auto E = dyn_cast_or_null<Expr>(SubStmt);
    if (E && ContainsAssignment(E)) {
      return true;
    }
  }

  return false;
}
```

And I might change the comment to be something more like:

```
// Check if the given expression contains an assignment expression. This can either take the form of a Binary Operator or a Overloaded Operator Call.
```

The function is dissimilar enough from HasSideEffects that referring people to the original seems unnecessary.

Does StringRef not have an `operator==(const StringRef&, const char *)`?

Why the const_cast? You're passing it to a function expecting a `const Expr *`

Why not just write:

```
const CallExpr *funcCall = Result.Nodes.getNodeAs<CallExpr>("funcCall");
if (funcCall && HasSideEffectAssignment(funcCall)) {
  Diag.Report(funcCall->getLocStart(), assignInsteadOfComp);
}
```

because your new HasSideEffectAssignment will check the first argument to the function without you having to descend into it explicitly.

You could also add a new AST_MATCHER(Expr, containsAssignmentExpr) which does the HasSideEffectAssignment call, and just unconditionally report the error here.

You have tabs in here. I assume that this was unintentional.

Your new code should also check MOZ_ASSERT(p = 10, true) and MOZ_ASSERT(Call(), p = 10) etc. (and other random more complex expressions)

Why not test that too?

I don't think this is the best approach, since comparing two strings is more efficient than compering a string with a const char*, the first condition that has to be met is the size when comparing strings and this can be given in O(1) hence we avoid iterations. More i don't think that there is an overloading equality operator with that particular signature i think operator==(const StringRef&, const StringRef&) is enough

Yes that is totally useless.

I think this can be added in a later patch when we want to check if we have assignments in argument passing to functions, like:

Will add those examples as well but i didn't add MOZ_ASSERT with two arguments since the 2nd argument is considered a string literal.

This shouldn't be a `dyn_cast_or_null` if you have already performed a `dyn_cast<CXXOperatorCallExpr>(expr)`. Either make them both `dyn_cast_or_null` and allow null pointers to be passed in, or make both of them `dyn_cast`

We should make this (!!(expr)) for consistency with the non-MOZ_CLANG_PLUGIN case.

Please call this StaticAnalysisFunctions.h; there's no need to use short names here.

yes the problem is with bool type that is being redeclared in stdbool.h on visual studio 2015 compiler.
Flags: needinfo?(bpostelnicu)
Due to the way how jemalloc.c implements bool, true and false, these were redefined in stdbool.h on windows platform:

#ifdef MOZ_MEMORY_WINDOWS

>>/* Some defines from the CRT internal headers that we need here. */
>>#define _CRT_SPINCOUNT 5000
>>#define __crtInitCritSecAndSpinCount InitializeCriticalSectionAndSpinCount
>>#include <io.h>
>>#include <windows.h>
>>#include <intrin.h>

>>#pragma warning( disable: 4267 4996 4146 )

>>#define	bool BOOL
>>#define	false FALSE
>>#define	true TRUE

I will resubmit the patch for review where we include stdbool.h in StaticAnalysisFunctions.h only if the compiler is set for c language and bool was not defined:

>>#ifndef __cplusplus
>>#ifndef bool
>>#include <stdbool.h>
>>#endif
>>#endif

I'll take a look and see what's happening, this is a bit strange.
