Hello,

Someone asked me about this yesterday, and since I've been carrying
this patch series for over a year -- it's not high priority --
this seems like a good time finally to post it.

I've been removing if-before-free tests for a few years now.
Here are some of the projects that have endured this janitorial work:
  git
  emacs
  glibc
  gnulib
  coreutils
  freeIPA
  libvirt
  util-linux-ng
  idutils
  openais
  corosync

Over the course of those adventures, there has been plenty
of discussion.  If you'd like links with justification, I
can provide several.

When I started, I wrote a script to automate the process.
Then I realized that coccinelle's spatch could do it, too, and more
cleanly.  Here's the script I use:
  http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/tree/build-aux/useless-if-before-free
Some projects run it via a "make syntax-check" rule that ensures no
new offending test is introduced (see gnulib's maint.mk).

Here's what I've done, to see if you're ok with it in principle.
If so, let me know and I'll be happy to add proper ChangeLog entries.

The 4th patch merely fixes a syntax error introduced by the
transformation of the 3rd.  For the sake of bisection, at least
those two should be combined.  I'm all for combining all four,
if you prefer.

This one looks suspicious; it's not if (p) free (p); but if (p) free 
(something-derived-from-p);.

http://gcc.gnu.org/codingconventions.html says Classpath changes should go 
via Classpath upstream, not directly into GCC.  I don't know if that's 
still accurate.

We definitely don't want to make local changes to zlib for this sort of 
issue, though importing a new upstream version of zlib (making sure the 
local configure code still works) should be fine for 4.7.

Sorry, missed these in the first pass; intl/ is another case where we 
wouldn't want to patch this locally.  An import of updated libintl from 
newer upstream gettext would be fine for 4.7, with local changes merged as 
needed, but may be quite involved given how old the present copy is.

That's still true.  This seems to be the first message I've received in this
thread, so I'm not even aware of what these changes are.  Were the earlier
messages not sent to this list?

The original patch went only to gcc-patches.

This is Ok,

Thanks,

Good catch.  That is an invalid transformation.  I've reverted it.
It is also the first one like that that I've seen.
Calling free (((void **) 0) [-1]); would not go down well.

Thanks for the tip and for Cc'ing java-patches.
I've omitted the classpath/ changes.

I've also omitted zlib/ and intl/ changes.

Is libgo/ in the same boat?  Only one of its files is affected, but
I found no ChangeLog for libgo and no libgo-related ChangeLog entries.
I could always add an entry at the top,

You know, it probably wouldn't be that hard to have GCC perform this
analysis for you using its dataflow framework.  Checking for a free call
which is dominated by a test if the argument is null would be a pretty
simple check.

Thanks for the link.

I'd like some explanation of why these changes are necessary before we start
adding them to Classpath.  Are we just assuming that all free implementations
will ignore NULL now?

With regards to fdlibm, there is a further upstream for this where
these changes should be made first.  fdlibm is also used by OpenJDK.

IMHO, they're not officially "necessary", but rather nice to have,
since they eliminate code that is now obviously obsolete.
Those tests have been unnecessary for at least 5 years.
The efficiency (of removing the redundant test) is never the
issue for me, personally.  My main argument for making the change
is improved maintainability/readability:

  - less logic (esp. when the expression is more complicated)
  - no surprise (for reviewers who stopped using such tests years ago)
  - more compact, so more lines fit on a page/screen
  - removing unused code is always worthwhile

Sort of along the same lines as removing anachronistic casts of
malloc/calloc/realloc return values in C code.  No longer needed,
but many people continue to use them for no good reason.

Yeah, I did this for the malloc hoisting patches first but then settled
on changing the Fortran frontend to not emit a NULL test (which it still
does, the patches were not merged).
