Fix #50125

Can you add the tests from #50244

Those tests are either not legal or already pass on master

Cool, glad to see a fix coming up! :)
Ah, funny timing that you were doing this at the same time as me.

Can you explain what's wrong with the tests in #50244?

This first one seems legal from what I understand:

# issue #50243
struct ImmutableNonIsBits
    v::Vector{Int}
end
const ref50243 = Ref(ImmutableNonIsBits([1,2,3]))
load50243() = unsafe_load(Ptr{ImmutableNonIsBits}(pointer_from_objref(ref50243)))
sum50243() = sum(load50243().v)  # (Do something with v to prevent the compiler from eliding)
@test load50243() === ref50243[]
@test sum50243() === 6
@test @allocated(sum50243()) === 0

Is this fundamentally different than doing the same trick with an isbits type, like an NTuple?

And i think this second one is possibly more illegal, but i'm not 100% clear why.

const ref50243 = Ref(ImmutableNonIsBits([1,2,3]))
store50243!(v2) = unsafe_store!(Ptr{ImmutableNonIsBits}(pointer_from_objref(ref50243)), v2)
new50243 = ImmutableNonIsBits([1])
store50243!(new50243)
@test ref50243[] === new50243
@test @allocated(store50243!(ref50243[])) === 0

... But neither of them pass on master - what makes you say that?

The first tests pass on master for me, except for the allocated bytes test which is not semantically guaranteed. The unsafe_store! has the wrong memory provenance for that, so it is UB. The first test also might have the wrong memory provenance, but it is only a read, so it is potentially unclear right now if that is legal or not.

Thanks, makes sense.

^ Yeah, this is specifically what I was trying to test. Even though it's not semantically guaranteed, I assume that it's something we want to preserve in our implementation of julia, which is why I thought it might be good to test.

But maybe the goal with the test suite is that it should pass under any implementation of julia that follows the spec? Which does make sense 👍

It would likely fail currently under the interpreter and/or runtime implementations of this, so it is not an ideal test.

Thanks all.


One more question: should this be backported to 1.9? Since it's a bugfix? (It's also a perf fix for unsafe_load(::Ptr{<immutable>}), and I think those aren't usually backported.) But it's also a bug fix for the case that crashes?
