Just in case this got lost in noise, since I know there was a lot of 
back and forth between Martin Sebor and I.

This is the last iteration.

Tested on x86-64 Linux.

OK for trunk?

just a nit: the files is called gimple-ssa-warn-alloca.[co].

As someone already noted, it's gimple-ssa-warn-alloca, not 
gimple-ssa-warn-walloca for the ChangeLog entry.

On the nittish side, you're mixing C and C++ comment styles.  Choosing 
one and sticking with it seems better :-)

So for each of these little examples, I'd stuff the code into a trivial 
function definition and make "n" a parameter.  That way it's obvious the 
value of "n" comes from a context where we don't initially know its 
range, but we may be able to narrow the range due to statements in the 
function.

ISTM that you're using "first_time_p" here, but in passes.def you refer 
to this parameter as "strict_mode_p" in comments.

ie:

+      NEXT_PASS (pass_walloca, /*strict_mode_p=*/false);

I'd just drop the /*strict_mode_p*/ comment in both places it appears in 
your patch's change to passes.def.  I think we've generally frowned on 
those embedded comments, even though some have snuck in.

So I wonder if you ought to have a structure here for the return value 
which contains the alloca type and assumed limit.  I know in the past we 
avoided aggregate returns, but these days that doesn't seem necessary. 
Seems cleaner than having a return value and output parameters.

Seems like a fairly arbitrary and undesirable limitation.  Couldn't the 
developer just have easily written

if (arg > N>
    x = malloc (...)
else
    x = alloca (...)

It also seems like you'd want to handle the set of LT/LE/GT/GE rather 
than just LE.  Or is it the case that we always canonicalize LT into LE 
by adjusting the constant (I vaguely remember running into that in RTL, 
so it's entirely possible and there'd likely be a canonicalization of 
GT/GE as well).

It also seems that once Andrew's infrastructure is in place this becomes 
dead code as we can just ask for the range at a point in the program, 
including for each incoming edge.  You might want a comment to that effect.

Ah, can't you set *assumed_limit here?  It's just a matter of walking 
through the cases and making the most conservative assumption.  So 
assume the condition is LT, both objects are unsigned types and LIMIT 
has a range like [5..25].  Then the resulting *assumed_limit must be 24.

ISTM it might also be worth checking VRP here -- I'd expect it to be 
able to make this kind of determination.  that would be independent of 
this work (in the sense that if VRP isn't creating ranges for this, it 
should be fixed independently).

Note that we may have a cast from a signed type, but if the RHS of that 
cast has a positive range, then the cast isn't going to case the 
wrap-around effect that is so problematical.  That might help cut down 
false positives.

I'm a bit surprised we don't have this kind of utility function 
elsewhere.   I wonder if it'd be better to conceptualize this as a range 
query since it looks like you're always using get_range_info to get an 
object's range, then comparing what that returns to the maximal value of 
hte object's type.  Maybe that's too much bikeshedding...

Hmm, other than INTEGER_CST and SSA_NAME, is there any other nodes we 
can get here?   Perhaps we get DECLs and such, particularly when not 
optimizing?!?

Yea, this is similar to my comment earlier that the RHS of the cast may 
have a known range (non-negative) that allows us to not worry about the 
cast creating a huge integer.  I think you can add handling that case 
here without too much trouble.  Though you might consider pulling all 
the casting bits into a separate function.

Note this example would make more sense if the type of n_7 was explicit.

Another place where casting from an object with a non-negative range 
ought to be filtered out as not problematical.

So this is an interesting tidbit that answers my questions about how we 
use alloca_call_type_by_arg.  Essentially this is meant to catch the 
merge point for flow control and give a conservative warning.  That's 
fine and good.  But ISTM it's really a bit of a hack.  What if we have 
something like this:

   X   Y   Z
    \  |  /
      \|/
       A
      / \
     /   \
    B     C
         / \
        /   \
       D     E


Where the alloca call is in E and the incoming edges to A actually have 
useful information about the argument to the alloca call.

ISTM you need to be doing something with the dominator tree here to find 
the merge point(s)  where we might know something useful.  And it's this 
kind of test that makes me wonder about re-purposing some of the path 
analysis code from tree-ssa-uninit.c.  It may be the case that the path 
Z->A->C->E is unfeasible, but left in the CFG because duplication to 
expose the unfeasible path was unprofitable.  If it turns out that the 
only argument that causes problems comes from the edge Z->A, then we 
wouldn't want to warn in this case.

  I don't see Andrew's work necessarily being able to solve this problem.

I believe there is a "loop" that encompasses the whole function.

I'll probably have more comments after the next iteration.  I'm also 
real curious what you've found poking around at GDB with this warning :-)

+This option warns on all uses of @code{alloca} in the source.
+
+@item -Walloca-larger-than=@var{n}
+This option warns on calls to @code{alloca} that are not bounded by a
+controlling predicate limiting its size to @var{n} bytes, or calls to
+@code{alloca} where the bound is unknown.
+
+For example, a bounded case of @code{alloca} could be:
+
+@smallexample
+unsigned int n;
+...
+if (n <= 1000)
+  alloca (n);
+@end smallexample
+
+In the above example, passing @code{-Walloca=1000} would not issue a
+warning because the call to @code{alloca} is known to be at most 1000
+bytes.  However, if @code{-Walloca=500} was passed, the compiler would
+have emitted a warning.
+
+Unbounded uses, on the other hand, are uses of @code{alloca} with no
+controlling predicate verifying its size.  For example:
+
+@smallexample
+stuff ();
+alloca (n);
+@end smallexample
+
+If @code{-Walloca=500} was passed, the above would trigger a warning,
+but this time because of the lack of bounds checking.
+
+Note, that even seemingly correct code involving signed integers could
+cause a warning:
+
+@smallexample
+signed int n;
+...
+if (n < 500)
+  alloca (n);
+@end smallexample
+
+In the above example, @var{n} could be negative, causing a larger than
+expected argument to be implicitly casted into the @code{alloca} call.
+
+This option also warns when @code{alloca} is used in a loop.
+
+This warning is not enabled by @option{-Wall}, and is only active when
+@option{-ftree-vrp} is active (default for @option{-O2} and above).
