Add known-bug tests for all(?) I-unsound issues

[jackh726]

I'll come back at some point and create an actual list. However, we should aim to add known-bug tests (or work to finding MCVEs) for all the I-unsound issues.

The list of issues remaining: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3AI-unsound+-label%3AS-bug-has-test+

The list of completed issues: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3AI-unsound+label%3AS-bug-has-test+

[sladyn98]

@jackh726 I would like to give this a shot, any hints on where I could begin

[jackh726]

@sladyn98 sure!

Okay, so we have a concept of known-bug tests. Here's an example: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/18a6d911caba59605eb03db1452848a85d2e5879/tests/ui/coherence/coherence-overlap-negative-impls.rs

Note the // known-bug: #101350 at the top. There is also // check-pass, which means that this test currently passes under during check (though that test shouldn't pass, hence the known-bug)

The goal for this issue is to go through the open I-unsound issues (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?page=1&q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3AI-unsound), identify a minimal reproduction that shouldn't pass, but does, and add a known-bug test for each one.

Nearly all of the issues should have a minimal repro in the comments somewhere, so I would start with those. Tests should go in src/test/ui in an appropriate directory. Test names should likely be meaningful compared to the open issue. Any comments at the top of the file briefly explaining the problem would also be helpful.

Let me know if that helps!

#105084
I found this issue, and planning to a PR with a known test bug

[KenCox94]

is there anything a new contributor can do for this? any help still needed @sladyn98 @jackh726

[jackh726]

My previous comment still applies; there haven't been any PRs opened for this.

If anything is confusing, please let me know.

rging for the list of I-Unsound issues makes it seem that there're no tests for any of these ATM, so I left them unpopulated. I added a few tests while I was in the area, which I'll build a PR for now. :)

NOTE: #105084 is already added

Big thanks to @gburgessiv for the big checklist! Very useful.

@jackh726 Thanks for adding the test labels and updating the issue. Looking through the remaining issues, I'm a bit lost for most of these.

I'm comfortable adding tests where the mcve compiles but shouldn't, but I'm wondering what to do for mcves that don't quite follow this pattern or have other variations: multiple crates, llvm/asm/etc, panic/warning/error, etc.

Below, I've organized the remaining issues as I see them, hopefully useful for other contributors as well. (Currently only 44 issues in my list vs 55 actual, so missing 11 issues as of 2023.04.28)

Let me know if there's anything else sort of bookkeeping that would be useful here.

1. Not able to find an mcve for these 7 issues:

issue	name
27970	set_var/remove_var are unsound in combination with C code that reads the environment
43241	Extend stack probe support to non-tier-1 platforms, and clarify policy for mitigating LLVM-dependent unsafety
52652	Abort instead of unwinding past FFI functions
64718	std::process::Command doesn't follow Unix signal safety in forked child
67497	Switching to opt-level=z on i686-windows-msvc triggers STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
68015	Pin is unsound due to transitive effects of CoerceUnsized
74551	error: could not compile gkrust since Rust 1.43 on SPARC Solaris

2. Tracking issue needs test?

Wondering if the specialization tracking issue (issue 31844) needs a test, since it's sort of multiple issues in 1 issue.

3. These 4 issues already include tests on master:

issue	name	test	test status
50781	Trait objects can call nonexistent concrete methods	tests/ui/issues/issue-50781.rs	test errors and includes .stderr
97156	TypeId exposes equality-by-subtyping vs normal-form-syntactic-equality unsoundness.	tests/ui/const-generics/generic_const_exprs/typeid-equality-by-subtyping.rs	test includes known-bug and check-pass comments
102048	relating projection substs is unsound during coherence	tests/ui/traits/new-solver/coherence/issue-102048.rs	test compiles but includes .stderr
105084	Box syntax and generator_clone can lead to double free	tests/ui/generator/issue-105084.rs	test includes known-bug and check-pass comments

4. These 2 issues have an mcve, but don't work as is on playground:

issue	name	mcve	error	needs?
74743	AVR: Miscompilation with Trait Object in Option	#74743 (comment)	error: unknown feature llvm_asm	llvm_asm! macro
76507	#[link_section] is unsound on Harvard architectures	#76507 (comment)	error: expected expression, found ;	serial output

5. These 3 issues may need regression tests instead?

issue	name	mcve	status
79457	With min_specialization enabled, an incomplete impl for a non-static type will delegate method calls to a less-specific impl with a 'static bound	#79457 (comment)	fixed w/ error? #79457 (comment)
79865	Miscompilation of AVX2 code under --release	#79865 (comment)	fixed by llvm 14 upgrade: #79865 (comment)

6. Not sure how to test: These 11 issues involve llvm, asm, C, etc

issue	name	mcve	needs?
18072	Investigate how LLVM deals with huge stack frames	#18072 (comment)	llvm
46188	ill-typed unused FFI declarations can cause UB	#46188 (comment)	llvm

72327	Comparing to infinity is buggy on x87	#72327 (comment)	platform specific, asm
81996	repr(C) is unsound on MSVC targets	#81996 (comment)	#81996 (comment)
101346	Incorrect handling of lateout pairs in inline asm	#101346 (comment)	asm
102174	extern "C" functions don't generate the same IR definitions as clang on x86, causing problems with cross-language LTO	#102174 (comment)	C, asm

7. Not sure how to test: These 10 issues error, segfault, or panic:

issue	name	mcve	test outcome
10389	Collisions in type_id	#10389 (comment)	panic: Option::unwrap on None
47949	Panics in destructors can cause the return value to be leaked	#47949 (comment)	explicit panic

89948	SpecExtend for TrustedLen is unsound	#89948 (comment)	segfault, but maybe not bug? #89948 (comment)
100914	Double free on Linux with stable toolchain	#100914 (comment)	panics in playground: Result::unwrap() on Err or stack overflow. (related to 83060)
102678	prevent negative impl cycles	#102678 (comment)	should compile but errors
105295	Seg fault in Rust 1.65.0 if I don't create temporary variable	#105295 (comment)	error: #[deny(implied_bounds_entailment)] on by default

8. Not sure how to test: These 2 mcves split code across multiple crates

issue	name	mcve
28179	#[no_mangle] is unsafe	#28179 (comment)
99554	orphan check incorrectly handles projections	#99554 (comment)

9. This mcve compiles, but not sure if it's supposed to error?

issue	name	mcve
80925	Accessing DST field of packed struct calculates the wrong field address	#80925 (comment)

10. I think I'm good to PR these 4 issues: Merged PR 110878

issue	name	mcve
49682	Keeping references to #[thread_local] statics is allowed across yields.	#49682 (comment)
40582	Specialization and lifetime dispatch	#40582 (comment)

Okay, so we have a concept of known-bug tests. Here's an example:

That link is dead.

I'm also not sure I understand what to do with the MCVEs. Are they to be used for writing the tests?

[jackh726]

That link is dead.

Fixed

I'm also not sure I understand what to do with the MCVEs. Are they to be used for writing the tests?

The test is essentially the MCVE, with some comments describing the issue.

[YpeKingma]

For a somewhat different approach, there is a pull request for a clippy lint for three of these issues #25860 #84591 and #100051 :

rust-lang/rust-clippy#12471

The lint looks for nested references and suggests to add a lifetimes bound that is implied by the nested reference.
After adding this bound, the compiler currently gives an error message.
Since the added bound is implied, the error message should have been given before adding it.
