Determine cause of segfault when using -O3?

I'm having trouble determining the cause of a segfault when a program is compiled with -O3 with GCC 4.8/4.9/5.1. For GCC 4.9.x, I've seen it on Cygwin, Debian 8 (x64) and Fedora 21 (x64). Others have experienced it on GCC 4.8 and 5.1.

The program is fine under -O2, fine with other versions of GCC, and fine under other compilers (like MSVC, ICC and Clang).

Below is the crash under GDB, but nothing is jumping out at me. The source code from misc.cpp:26 is below, but its a simple XOR:

((word64*)buf)[i] ^= ((word64*)mask)[i];

The code in question checks for 64-bit word alignment prior to the cast. From the disassembly under -O3, I know it has something to do with the vmovdqa instruction:

(gdb) disass 0x0000000000539fc3
...

   0x0000000000539fbc <+220>:   vxorps 0x0(%r13,%r10,1),%ymm0,%ymm0
=> 0x0000000000539fc3 <+227>:   vmovdqa %ymm0,0x0(%r13,%r10,1)
   0x0000000000539fca <+234>:   add    $0x20,%r10

It appears GCC is using SSE vectors at -O3, and not using them at -O2. (Thanks to Alejandro for the suggestion).

I'm going to naively ask: does vmovdqa have alignment requirements greater than 64-bit word? Is so, why is GCC selecting it when the words are not 128-bit aligned?

What is causing the segfault here? How do I troubleshoot it further?

Also see Bug 66852 - vmovdqa instructions issued on 64-bit aligned array, causes segfault. It was filed in response to this issue, so its unconfirmed at the moment.

End of assembler dump.

From misc.cpp, line 26 is ((word64*)buf)[i] ^= ((word64*)mask)[i];.

void xorbuf(byte *buf, const byte *mask, size_t count)
{
    size_t i;

    if (IsAligned<word32>(buf) && IsAligned<word32>(mask))
    {
        if (!CRYPTOPP_BOOL_SLOW_WORD64 && IsAligned<word64>(buf) && IsAligned<word64>(mask))
        {
            for (i=0; i<count/8; i++)
                ((word64*)buf)[i] ^= ((word64*)mask)[i];
            count -= 8*i;
            if (!count)
                return;
            buf += 8*i;
            mask += 8*i;
        }

        for (i=0; i<count/4; i++)
            ((word32*)buf)[i] ^= ((word32*)mask)[i];
        count -= 4*i;
        if (!count)
            return;
        buf += 4*i;
        mask += 4*i;
    }

    for (i=0; i<count; i++)
        buf[i] ^= mask[i];
}

You could compile with g++ -Wall -Wextra -O3 -g ; you want to enable warnings, because some of them are possibly generated only in GCC passes enabled with -O3; you want to enable debugging info (-g) to use gdb but be aware that debugging info are not always reliable with strong optimizations.

You might have some pointer aliasing issues. Perhaps use (or remove) the restrict keyword.

Be sure to avoid undefined behavior. You might use -fsanitize= options (notably -fsanitize=address and -fsanitize=undefined....) to the g++ compiler (version 5 preferably) Use also valgrind.

BTW, you could use dump options like -fdump-tree-all (warning, they produces hundreds of files!) to understand more the internal behavior of g++; and you might even customize your GCC compiler with MELT.

Also, if looking at the produced assembler, compile with g++ -Wall -S -O3 -fverbose-asm since the -fverbose-asm asks GCC to emit some assembler comments "explaining" (not much, but a tiny bit) the compiled code.
