Runtime Semantics Divergence

cluster-54

Compiler or language semantics silently diverge from what the programmer assumes—code may not execute, borrows can’t be expressed, closures outlive stack variables, or memory/branch equivalence changes observability, making bugs non-reproducible and analysis misleading.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

global shared variable may be accessed before it has been initialized

INSTANCE_OFProblem

that code here, is not even being executed. Tension: I could throw an exception there and it's not even thrown. Outcome: using SWC as compiler.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

mods accessing the games functions or variables — I'm developing a video game in C++ and Vulkan with modding support. Tension: and interfering with them, or the user's computer. Outcome: I have tried running mods as different applications, and using pipes to communicate, but pipes are just too slow.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

I tried multiple values, but the only thing I was able to achieve was a segfault when I exceeded 10 characters due to the buffer limit. Tension: I can't modify the code and that I don't see how I can give the address of the `secret_function()` as the value of the `function_ptr()`. Outcome: Use the debugger to get the secret function address.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

is it possible to forbid (via gcc/any other compiler options, valgrind-like tool or anything else you can think of) the function `foo_written_by_student` to do illegal memory access — in a code like this. Tension: to recover a variable `token`.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

int a[10]; printf("%d", a[11]);. Tension: why is out of bound memory access controlled by language implementation like Rust and not by OS ? Outcome: To prevent object reuse leakage, operating systems clear (that is, overwrite) all space to be reassigned before allowing the next user to access it.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Whether repeatedly declaring a variable with smaller scope in C# impacts system resource usage (memory/GC) and is beneficial for security compared to declaring variables outside loops.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Is possible to call cl:open by another way? — I need to hide dungerous function(s), for example, cl:open for thirdparty code downloaded from internet. Outcome: There will be more.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

I'm expecting for the passed string to overrun the variable 'a', but it doesn't happen. — when examining the stack with gdb (using 'info frame'). Tension: it doesn't say that the string has been even passed.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

hot code replace is not working properly — since I added SSE to my project.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

you get away with calling `Printer::print` on an invalid pointer — call C++ code through a C wrapper. Tension: It is undefined behaviour to do this. Outcome: The changed code invokes undefined behaviour.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

the compiler complains that "Attribute value must be constant" — On setting the attribute `dynamicValue` to `value` which is read from the YAML file. Tension: I know it expects a compile time constant value, but is there any way to insert a runtime value here?

INSTANCE_OFProblem

This code will compile without an error, and the result — If we change the case for int to use the wrapper class Integer. Tension: Why doesn't Integer dominate byte?

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Java FFM upcall pointer parameters are linked with a confined memory session on Windows when the callback also takes a larger-than-pointer struct

INSTANCE_OFProblem

code like that would actually be compilable — public static final String FOO = FooClass.FOO;. Tension: I would be 100% sure it should be a compilation error.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

I wonder if there is a "way" — I can tell the compiler to handle the line inside of `nok` the way I do it in `ok2`. Tension: return the object after fun performed.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

calling Lambda expressions invariably leads to "unchecked call" warnings — While porting my BASIC byte-code interpreter from Python to Java. Tension: I couldn't figure out how to make Java's type system happy. Outcome: Is it even possible to avoid an "unchecked cast" when dealing with types like `Consumer` whose specifics are erased before runtime?

INSTANCE_OFProblem

a non-final local variable — The following two code listings are separately accessing a non-final class instance variable and a non-final local variable. Tension: The former caused no warning/error, while the latter did. Outcome: Variable used in lambda expression should be final or effectively final.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

it is possible for the signature of the anonymous constructor to refer to an inaccessible type — JLS 8: § 15.9.5.1. Anonymous Constructors. Tension: This does not, in itself, cause any errors at either compile-time or run-time. Outcome: This code compiles and runs as expected.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Use of alias template 'B' requires template arguments — class DerivedB: public B. Tension: using B::B; // this does not work. Outcome: using B::B; // this would work:.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

the app lags, it's so slow that it's unusable and finally crashes — You create an Android Qt C++ app. When the user has any accessibility features enabled. Tension: The issue is present in Qt bug logs since Qt 5.2 up to Qt 6.8, I'm now using Qt 6.10 and it appeared again. Outcome: The app still lags and crashes.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

what if I want to require a user of my abstract base class to implement at least one out of several possible virtual methods? — sub-classing the `http_resource` object. Tension: the compiler enforce such a rule.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

This works but is fragile (manual delete, exception safety) — My parser builds an AST for expressions. Tension: I’m not sure about the best way to handle ownership for child nodes. Outcome: convert this to use `std::unique_ptr` everywhere in C++17.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

inline void fn1() {secret(42);} // error: exposure. Outcome: error: exposure.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Importing translation units cannot see an exported function definition that uses TU-local entities

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Could the user observe a difference? — libc++ and libstdc++ do not implement this using an "intermediate alias template" as specified. Tension: Starting with C++26, this is obviously a bug because the user could reflect like `^^_Atomic(int)` and tell apart alias templates from class templates. Outcome: Prior to C++26, is there any way the user could tell?

INSTANCE_OFProblem

If a standard library makes `_Atomic` expand to a class template. Tension: it would not be compliant to let it compile without any warnings or errors. Outcome: a compiler would need to at least raise a warning.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

error C7626 in MSVC — This is an attempt to make an alias to an anonymous class. Tension: unnamed class used in typedef name cannot declare members other than non-static data members, member enumerations, or member classes. Outcome: MSVC considers `A` to be a typedef name for linkage purposes, which is incorrect.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

QObject::connect(this, &QtClass::bar, this, [&msg](). Tension: access violation reading position, msg is out of scope.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

I want to write unit tests for each stage of `processData()` independently, rather than testing the entire pipeline as one monolithic function. — using `std::variant` and `std::visit`. Tension: `processData()` is the common interface required for polymorphic behavior. Outcome: It is possible, naive approach would be to just define additional public methods.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

std::construct_at adds an extra copy/move constructor call when initializing from compute()

INSTANCE_OFProblem

a += generate() should move elements but a += b should copy elements

INSTANCE_OFProblem

MSVC 19.39 thru 19.43 generate the following compiler error. Tension: I could not find anything in the C++20 standard to prove either compiler right. Outcome: Microsoft admitted that it is a bug in the implementation of MSVC.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

I would like to define a macro that would take number of arguments in function template `ARGS_COUNT` — If it's possible, I would like to define a macro. Tension: I want this, since I would like to refer to `Fi` sometimes, instead of bloating function definition.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

not all types that `value` can hold support addition — I have a generic struct Node that holds any value.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

This works fine, sort of, but I would like to get rid of the silent mistake of rebinding in the reference_wrapper.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

I get "ambiguous template instantiation" error.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

static assertion failed due to requirement 'std::is_move_constructible_v' — in instantiation of template class 'MyVector' requested here. Tension: Is it because `std::is_move_constructible_v` is not a friend of `MyClass`?

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Do I understand this correctly that, in C++, `` does define `alignof` as a macro — C11 introduced ``, which defined the macros `alignas` to `_Alignas` and `alignof` to `_Alignof`. Tension: C23 introduces `alignas` and `alignof` as keywords. Outcome: C++23 and C23 are not "harmonized".

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Currently, I have this .clang-format configuration: — C++ class definitions. Tension: With these settings, my code looks like this:. Outcome: But I want it to look like the first snippet, with public: indented two spaces and its members indented two spaces further.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Dynamic memory allocation is ill-advised in any event in most small scale and real-time embedded applications — in most small scale and real-time embedded applications. Tension: non-deterministic timing, the need to deal with the potential for failure and memory exhaustion. Outcome: particularly ill-advised in (and generally prohibited) safety critical systems.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

s is just a copy and changes can not be made to the original MyStruct.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Can someone help me understand this part of cppreference? — Synthesized three-way comparison of type `T` between glvalues `a` and `b` of the same type. Tension: This doesn't explain when it gets synthesized, it's just a term definition. Outcome: look for other places that say when this synthesized comparison is used.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Beyond a 1-element tuple (test1 below), the compilation fails (test2 below) — BOOST_DATA_TEST_CASE(test2, std::list({{1, 0}}), i). Tension: tuple is bind to multiple variables. Outcome: Structured binding is used to unpack tuple.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

how do I retrieve this data from the binary file? — I'm a Java guy writing a Windows XP game in C++. Tension: for serialization I want to use a solution found here. Outcome: can the answer be in C++03, since that's what I think my compiler supports.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

error: 3 names provided for structured binding — for (const auto& [index, key, value] : std::views::enumerate(histogram)). Tension: note: while 'const std::tuple&>' decomposes into 2 elements.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

we currently need dirty hacks with writing some thunk assembler instructions. Tension: to use game's functions, including, most importantly, member functions, ctors, dtors and virtual member functions. Outcome: I don't think that its possible to satisfy all your goals at once.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

self-referential structs in Rust. Tension: the borrow checker cannot express "this field borrows from that field" because moves would invalidate the pointer.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

the exhaustiveness check doesn't work in a switch statement — when the union comes from a generated/imported type file. Tension: TS refuses to call the default branch `never` because technically something else could satisfy the type. Outcome: the `never` check works sometimes but not always.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Can someone explain the difference between the stack and the heap in Java?
