Merge order:

  1. Trace formal parameters whose location is a register fjalar#90 together with Update flex goal files for Fjalar's tracing of register parameters #900.
  2. Close Update Kvasir goal files: omit formal parameters whose location is a register #913 without merging (its goal files are now identical to Update flex goal files for Fjalar's tracing of register parameters #900's) and delete Daikon's unsupported-location-op branch.
  3. Omit a formal parameter whose location contains an unsupported DWARF operation fjalar#95.

This pull request updates the expected output of the flex Kvasir tests for codespecs/fjalar#90, which makes Fjalar trace formal parameters whose location is a register. Merge it together with codespecs/fjalar#90.

The flex tests have functions with parameters declared register, such as addsym's sym, copy_string's str, hashfunct's str, and mkentry's state. At -O0, gcc keeps those parameters in registers, so Fjalar now outputs them. As a result:

  • In the .counts files, the line numbers of those functions' program points shift. The invocation counts are unchanged.
  • In the .comp files, some variables (such as addsym's table and table_size, and copy_string's return) join a larger comparability set, because DynComp now sees the value flow through the register parameters.

The new goal files are byte-for-byte the output of the Fjalar CI run on codespecs/fjalar#90 (Ubuntu 26.04 and Rocky Linux 10). The .comp.goal files for other operating systems (Ubuntu 22.04 through 25.10, Fedora, and the default) are not updated, because CI does not test them.

Fjalar now traces formal parameters whose location is a register
(codespecs/fjalar#90).  The flex tests have functions with parameters
declared `register`, such as addsym's sym, copy_string's str,
hashfunct's str, and mkentry's state.  At -O0, gcc keeps those in
registers, so Fjalar now outputs them.  That changes the .counts
line numbers and merges some comparability sets in the .comp files.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Flex pristine and Rothermel goal fixtures revise expected symbol inventories for several routines across Rocky and Ubuntu 26.04. The coverage goal files update recorded source line numbers. The ENTER and EXIT counts remain unchanged.


Priority: ⬇️ Low

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6e161

The Rocky Flex Kvasir checks may fail if they use Fjalar without register-parameter tracing. Ensure the required Fjalar revision is selected before merging.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in tests/kvasir-tests/flex-pristine/flex-pristine.comp.goal-Rocky: The addsym expected identifier set adds int_def, sym, and table fields, replacing str_def and the next[0]/str_val member expectations.
  • observed — Modified behavior in tests/kvasir-tests/flex-pristine/flex-pristine.comp.goal-Rocky: The addsym expected table-member set replaces generic symbol/table/name/next entries with str_def and specific next[0] access.
  • observed — Modified behavior in tests/kvasir-tests/flex-pristine/flex-pristine.comp.goal-Rocky: The addsym expectations include table[..]->str_val and update the exit set to integer-definition and symbol/table fields, replacing the old array and size entries and string-definition/member expectations.
  • observed — Modified behavior in tests/kvasir-tests/flex-pristine/flex-pristine.comp.goal-Rocky: The expected identifier set replaces sym, generic table/name, and next with str_def and explicit next[0] access.

- Line 578: Update the Flex Kvasir CI setup around scripts/test-kvasir.sh to use
a Fjalar revision that includes #90 when ../fjalar is absent, rather than
cloning the unpinned current repository. Alternatively, gate this fixture update
on the availability of that Fjalar change.
