From f6c98f91f56031141a47f86225fdc30f0f9f84fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Maydell Date: Tue, 6 Nov 2018 11:32:13 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] target/arm: Remove can't-happen if() from handle_vec_simd_shli() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit In handle_vec_simd_shli() we have a check: if (size > 3 && !is_q) { unallocated_encoding(s); return; } However this can never be true, because we calculate int size = 32 - clz32(immh) - 1; where immh is a 4 bit field which we know cannot be all-zeroes. So the clz32() return must be in {28,29,30,31} and the resulting size is in {0,1,2,3}, and "size > 3" is never true. This unnecessary code confuses Coverity's analysis: in CID 1396476 it thinks we might later index off the end of an array because the condition implies that we might have a size > 3. Remove the code, and instead assert that the size is in [0..3], since the decode that enforces that is somewhat distant from this function.
