PVS-Studio tool complained about this and it's right, macros shouldn't expand
to multiple statements like this.

Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux, applying to trunk.

	PR sanitizer/80063
	* asan.c (DEF_SANITIZER_BUILTIN): Use do { } while (0).

We leave out the trailing ; in a macro like this.

If we only use them for code, sure.  But DEF_*BUILTIN is used also to
define the names, enum values etc. where it needs other separators, so
*.def files don't put any separator after the closing ).

True, but that wasn't possible in this case, otherwise I got tons of

I would view these as helpful errors and expect them to be fixed
by terminating the macro invocations with a semicolon rather than
by adding it to the macro definition itself.  Is there a problem
with doing that that I'm not considering?

Martin

PS The GCC manual documents this problem in the section titled
Swallowing the Semicolon:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Swallowing-the-Semicolon.html

This problem is also the subject of the CERT C Coding Standard
rule PRE11-C. Do not conclude macro definitions with a semicolon
(although the examples there are contrived).

Leaving the semicolon out also tends to confuse formatting tools.

It would be nice to be able to add a warning to help detect these
kinds of problems in macros (and others), and enable it for GCC
itself.

There is a problem with it, as I wrote.
The macros are used e.g. like:
#define DEF_BUILTIN(ENUM, N, C, T, LT, B, F, NA, AT, IM, COND) ENUM,
enum built_in_function {
#include "builtins.def"
};
(similarly for the names various other cases).

If the *.def files contain the semicolon, then this is not possible.
