Evaluate GNU C typeof operands of variably modified type [GH #516] - #457
The operand of a C typeof must be evaluated when its type is variably modified, but the front end treated it as unevaluated, so its side effects were lost.
When the IL is lowered, scan_typeof_operator keeps the operand, still scanned as an unevaluated operand as sizeof does, and evaluates it once:
In a block-scope declaration, it becomes a statement before the declarators. This is once per declaration, not once per declarator, matching C23 and GCC 17, which has the fix for PR c/124576.
In an expression, the new typeof_operand_pending flag on the typeref marks it, and evaluate_pending_typeof_operands evaluates it where a cast, a compound literal, a __builtin_va_arg, or a sizeof of a variable-length array type uses the type. An lvalue compound literal stays an lvalue.
A use of a typedef doesn't repeat the evaluation, and nothing is evaluated in a parameter declaration.
The bounds of the resulting type are already evaluated wherever the type is used. So the operand is evaluated only when it has side effects of its own and those bounds have none, which keeps gnu/c/vla-12 from running a bound twice. A source-generating back end reproduces the typeof itself, so nothing is added for it.
regressions/gh-516 covers declarations with one and two declarators, typedef uses, casts, compound literals, __builtin_va_arg, sizeof of a VLA type, a statement expression inside the operand, and an operand that isn't variably modified and stays unevaluated. It uses --gnu_version=170000. regressions/gh-516-single covers single evaluations in both configurations, and regressions/gh-516-params block-scope prototypes. The run-time test requires DO_IL_LOWERING, because with the C++-generating back end the behavior comes from the host compiler. GCC's pr114831-2, vla-15 and vla-16 now pass. The last two test sizeof of a VLA typeof and lvalue compound literals.
Known limits:
GCC 16 and earlier evaluate the operand once per declarator. That isn't emulated for older --gnu_version values.
If an operand has side effects both in the result type's bounds and outside them, the ones outside are still lost, as before.
In a parameter list, the front end still rejects an operand whose bound uses an earlier parameter ("a parameter is not allowed"), which GCC accepts. That is an existing limitation, not changed here.
Tested with the full test suites for edg_x86_64 and edg_x86_64_cp, and with the new and changed tests for edg_x86_32 and edg_x86_32_cp.
Corrected evaluation of GNU C and C23 typeof operands involving variably modified types. Side-effecting operands are evaluated once where applicable, including in declarations and supported expression contexts—not once per declarator or again when a typedef is used.
Corrected behavior across casts, compound literals, sizeof, and __builtin_va_arg. Operands in block-scope function prototypes are not evaluated.
Documentation
Added a note and example explaining typeof operand evaluation, including cases where side effects may not be preserved.
The compiler now tracks eligible side-effecting C typeof operands with variably modified types and evaluates them in declaration and expression contexts. Regression tests cover evaluation counts, typedef reuse, and contexts where evaluation is not scheduled.
Changes: C typeof operand evaluation
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Capture and track typeof operands src/il_def.h, src/il_alloc.c, src/expr.c, src/il_display.c
A typeref flag tracks pending typeof operands. Scanning records the diagnostic count and schedules eligible operands according to context. Debug type display includes the flag when it is set.
Apply pending operand evaluations src/expr.c
IL lowering collects pending operands and sequences their evaluations. Expression handling applies them to __builtin_va_arg, type-form sizeof, compound literals, and casts.
Add regression coverage and documentation tests/tests/regressions/gh-516*.sft.c, tests/tests/regressions/.gh-516*.rto/*, src/pending_changes/gh-516-typeof-evaluation.txt
Regression cases check evaluation counts and contexts, including block-scope prototypes. Test fixtures register the cases. The GH #516 entry describes the behavior.
Most GNU typeof evaluation cases are now covered, including declarations, casts, compound literals, va_arg and VLA sizeof. Two open points remain. The IL layout changed without a version bump. Operands whose bounds also have side effects still lose their other side effects, which the PR documents as a limitation. Resolve or explicitly accept both before merging.
Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to 9ba8e
The new evaluation behavior spans several language-use contexts and introduces a source-supported failure path for repeated declarations. Validation remains pending, while the demonstrated exposure is limited to compilation rather than a verified privilege or isolation breach.
Retained concerns
Medium · reliability · inferred: The repeated-declarator design sends accepted evaluated expressions into a copying primitive that cannot preserve statement-expression scopes. For example, inside a function, typeof((({ ++k; 0; }), (int (*)[k])a)) p, q; has a variably modified outer operand but an ordinary int statement-expression result. The parser's variably modified statement-result rejection therefore does not exclude it. Copying the operand for q recursively reaches enk_statement with CE_NO_OPTIONS and the internal-error branch, breaking per-compilation failure containment. This is a source-derived path, not an executed failure; the statement-insertion argument mismatch currently also blocks validation of the reviewed head.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The identified failure path requires control of source submitted to a compilation accepting GNU statement expressions and variably modified types. Its evidenced scope is that compilation's internal-error path. Shared-service availability, tenant crossover, memory corruption and privilege gain have not been established.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — The introduced path is source operand to accepted nested statement-expression node to secondary-declarator recursive copy to unsupported-node internal error. The copy limitation predates this PR, but the repeated-declarator caller is new. This supports a failure-containment concern, not a runtime-verified security exploit.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Existing controls reject statement expressions whose own result type is variably modified. That does not exclude an ordinary int statement expression nested inside a variably modified comma expression. Separately, the reparse error-count gate, pending-bit clearing and typedef traversal stop constrain the normal evaluation lifecycle.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — The expression-copy implementation documents why evaluated statement expressions need more than tree copying: associated statements, scopes, variables and initializers must also be preserved. Its unevaluated-copy fallback creates a dummy expression and therefore is not a semantics-preserving substitute for the new runtime evaluations.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Define per-declarator ownership for runtime typeof evaluations, including a semantics-preserving replication contract for statement scopes and fresh VLA-bound evaluation state, rather than relying on generic expression-tree copying.

Explanation
The title "Evaluate GNU C typeof operands of variably modified type [GH #516]" matches the main change. The raw summary and objectives show the PR adds runtime evaluation of GNU C typeof operands with variably modified types, in declarations, casts, compound literals, va_arg, and sizeof of VLA types. The title names that behavior and the linked issue, so it is specific and accurate.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
[#516] Requirement: a GNU C typeof operand with a variably modified type must be evaluated for its side effects. An ordinary typeof(++k) with a non-variably-modified type must stay unevaluated. The reported case is typeof (++k, (int (*)[k])a) p;, where ++k must run.
Evidence from the PR summary and description:
Block-scope declarations: scan_typeof_operator (src/expr.c) retains the operand only when its type is variably modified, it has side effects, and the resulting type has none. In a block declaration outside parameter lists, a statement is emitted once before the declarators. This covers the reported case.
Expression contexts: the typeof_operand_pending flag (src/il_def.h, set in src/il_alloc.c, shown in src/il_display.c) is set. evaluate_pending_typeof_operands evaluates the operand for casts, compound literals, __builtin_va_arg, and sizeof of a VLA type.
Typedef uses do not repeat evaluation. Parameter declarations do not evaluate the operand.
Non-variably-modified operands are not retained, so they stay unevaluated.
Tests: tests/tests/regressions/gh-516.sft.c, gh-516-single.sft.c, and gh-516-params.sft.c cover these cases. The author reports full suite runs for edg_x86_64 and edg_x86_64_cp, and new and changed tests for edg_x86_32 and edg_x86_32_cp. CI runs are cited.
Limits: this assessment uses the PR summary and description. No source code or test output was inspected directly in this pass. Known limits (GCC 16 and earlier once-per-declarator behavior, side effects inside the bounds, parameter-bound rejection) are stated by the author and are outside the #516 reproduction.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
All changed files relate to #516:
src/expr.c, src/il_def.h, src/il_alloc.c, and src/il_display.c implement the pending-evaluation behavior and its display.
The lower_c99.c change was removed, as the PR description and objectives state. It is not part of the current change summary.
The parameter-list rejection is left unchanged, as the known limits state. This matches the #516 scope.
The tests/expectations/*.log files are in ignored_files, so they were not reviewed and were not used as evidence. Their exclusion does not affect this result. The C and C++ regression outputs for pr114831-2, vla-15, and vla-16 are related expectation updates for the same typeof behavior. No unrelated change was found in the summary.

Bump the IL version for the changed typeref layout.
The IL writer stores typeref entries as raw bytes, and the reader loads those bytes into the current a_type layout. The new typeof_operand_pending bit changes the positions of the following packed flags, but IL_VERSION_NUMBER remains "7.0". A standalone consumer can therefore accept an IL file from an older 7.0 producer and interpret those flags with the wrong meanings.
If producer and consumer builds must match exactly, document and enforce that requirement instead. Otherwise, update IL_VERSION_NUMBER or preserve the existing bit layout.

Evaluate GNU C typeof operands of variably modified type
Evaluate GNU C typeof operands of variably modified type [EDGcpfe/28891]
Nov 8, 2026
In all three, typeof_operand_pending is set but nothing takes the operand (only the cast in expr.c does).
The lower_c99.c changes. I built the PR with src/lower_c99.c reverted to main, and every test I tried gave the same results: the three new tests, the 72 vla/typeof tests in gnu/c and regressions, and all the cases above. What case needs take_typeof_operands in lower_vla_dimensions and the new lower_vla_dimensions call in lower_vla_decl? If there is one, it should have a test; if not, maybe they can be dropped (or used to handle the cases in item 1). If they stay, lower_vla_decl's declarations need aligning, and the lower_vla_dimensions call should come after the blank line that follows the declarations.
Emulation of older GCC versions. GCC 16.1 and earlier evaluate the operand once per declarator (typeof (++k, (int (*)[k])a) p, q; increments k twice); only GCC trunk has the fix for PR c/124576. The tests use --gnu_version=130300 but expect the new behavior. It would be nice to emulate the older behavior for older GNU versions, or at least to use a newer --gnu_version in the tests.
Nit:take_typeof_operands is used only when DO_IL_LOWERING is set, so its definition and declaration could go inside #if DO_IL_LOWERING as well.

Evaluate GNU C typeof operands of variably modified type [GH #516]
Nov 11, 2026
Thanks for the review. Changes in the force-pushed commit, which is also rebased on current main:
Other contexts. A new helper, evaluate_pending_typeof_operands, now evaluates the pending operand for casts, compound literals, __builtin_va_arg, and sizeof of a VLA type. Your three examples now increment k, matching GCC. An lvalue compound literal stays an lvalue (&(T(++k)){0} works). gh-516 covers each case. With the helper disabled, the test fails 5 checks.
lower_c99.c. I got the same result as you: reverting it changed nothing, in the regression tests or in the cases above. I didn't find a case that needs it. A declaration inside a statement expression would have been the candidate, but VLAs aren't allowed there. So I dropped both lower_c99.c changes and handled item 1 in expr.c instead.
Older GCC versions. I took the second option: gh-516 now uses --gnu_version=170000. Emulating once-per-declarator evaluation would mean copying the operand for each declarator. The earlier version of this PR did that, and the copy failed on an operand containing a statement expression (CodeRabbit's finding). The PR description lists the older-GCC behavior as a known limit.
Nit.take_typeof_operands and the new helper are now static and inside #if DO_IL_LOWERING, and the declaration in expr.h is gone.
Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Document the remaining side-effect limitation.
The entry says the operand is now evaluated, but the PR reports that side effects outside the type bounds can still be lost when the bounds also have side effects. Add this limitation so users do not assume those operands work.

The operand of a C typeof operator must be evaluated when it has a
variably modified type, but it was treated as unevaluated, so its side
effects were lost. When the IL is lowered, keep the operand (scanned as
an unevaluated operand, as for sizeof) and evaluate it once: in a
block-scope declaration, before the declarators; in an expression, where
the cast, compound literal, __builtin_va_arg, or sizeof of a
variable-length array type that uses the type is evaluated. A use of a
typedef does not repeat the evaluation, and nothing is evaluated in a
parameter declaration.
The dimension expressions of the resulting type are evaluated wherever
that type is used, so the operand is evaluated only if it has side
effects of its own and those dimensions have none. A source-generating
back end reproduces the typeof, so nothing is added for it.
The operand is evaluated once per declaration, not once per declarator, as
in GCC 17 (GCC PR c/124576); earlier GCC versions are not emulated in that
respect.
Add regression tests. gnu/c/pr114831-2, gnu/c/vla-15 and gnu/c/vla-16 now

The bound has side effects, so this guard excludes the entire operand from capture. Bound evaluation does not perform the separate ++k. GNU typeof requires evaluation of this variably modified operand. (gcc.gnu.org)
The PR documents this limitation, but the limitation leaves the reported side-effect loss unresolved for this input. Separate bound evaluation from the remaining operand evaluation so that both increments occur once.

Confirmed. The example still loses ++k; this is the remaining limitation already described in the PR and the Changes entry.
Removing the guard would evaluate the bound both in the retained operand's cast and in the resulting type, which is the double evaluation caught by gnu/c/vla-12. Evaluating the bound earlier can also change its order relative to other operand side effects. A complete fix needs to save the bound at its original evaluation point and reuse that value wherever the type appears.
That requires further VLA lowering work beyond this patch. I'm leaving this limitation explicit and this thread open for maintainer review.
