# This file contains an extensive compile-time blacklist for silencing highly
# frequent *un*signed integer overflows in our codebase, found by the use of
# -fsanitize=unsigned-integer-overflow. Such overflows are not necessarily
# bugs -- unsigned integer overflow has well-defined semantics in C/C++. But
# overflow may still be *unexpected* and incorrectly handled, so we try to
# annotate those places where unsigned overflow is correct and desired.
#
# The rules in this file are applied at compile time; changes to this list
# usually require a full rebuild to apply. If you can modify the source in
# question to exempt specific functions using MOZ_NO_SANITIZE_UNSIGNED_OVERFLOW,
# do that instead.
#
# The extensive number of entries below is for two reasons.
#
# First, compiler instrumentation for unsigned integer overflows has a cost, at
# compile time and at runtime. In places where code expects and depends upon
# overflow behavior -- and especially in performance-critical code -- it makes
# sense to turn off overflow detection to avoid both costs. (Indeed,
# -fsanitize=signed-integer-overflow is unusably slow without this.)
#
# Second, many entries here are overly aggressive to get the build into a state
# that allows any testing to happen at all. Some of the entries here are for
# issues that are highly frequent in our test suites -- over 500 times per run.
# Aggressive entries now let us start using this mode, without having to first
# fix wide swaths of existing code.
#
# Entries should be removed 1) as issues are fixed; and 2) as blacklist entries
# can be moved out of this centralized file, into source-level blacklist
# attributes on individual functions.
# All entries in this file are to suppress unsigned-integer-overflow problems.
# Blacklists for other reasons should go in separate blacklist files.

# Overflows in the C++ std headers aren't necessarily bugs, because code inside
# a language implementation can depend on compiler-specific behavior where C/C++
# leave the behavior undefined.

# The JS engine has a lot of code doing all sorts of overflows. This code

# Atomics can overflow, but without a full stack we can't trace these back

### Frequent 0 - 1 overflows
#
# We have several code patterns in our codebase that cause these overflows,
# but they are typically all harmless and could be filtered easily at runtime.
# However, some of them are so frequent that suppressing them at compile-time
# makes sense to increase runtime performance.
