Re-enable extension of bool return values on x86_64 by saethlin · Pull Request #163917 · rust-lang/rust

saethlin · 2026-10-07T03:59:28Z

I think this fixes #163911

Though the test here is a bit hard to figure out, I'm not sure under what conditions expectation goes in the left or the right column. Do I decide that per-target or per-instance? Because x86_64 seems obligated to extend bool returns, so whether it is a "target that extends" or not depends on the type we're dealing with.

I also noticed that because of how the test is written, if codegen starts adding a zeroext on a return type where it is wrong to do so, the test will pass anyway.

is this worth a stable/beta backport?

Nominating just in case.

This PR should fix the issue, the emitted LLVM IR returns to what was emitted in 1.98. A small nit on the conditions to clean it up a bit though.

beta backport approved as per compiler team on Zulip. A backport PR will be authored by the release team at the end of the current development cycle. Backport labels are handled by them.

I have approved the backports without this PR being yet properly reviewed and merged (sorryu about that)

r? compiler

A random reroll here is likely unhelpful, ABI handling experts are scarce. I'll ask in the private channel. I'll do a review pass as well.

jieyouxu

Change itself looks right to me, at least from what I can gather. Some non-blocking nits.

 //                  ZERO/SIGN-EXTENDING TO 32 BITS            NON-EXTENDING
 //                  ==============================  =======================
-// x86_64:          void @c_arg_bool(i1 zeroext %_a)


I also noticed that because of how the test is written, if codegen starts adding a zeroext on a return type where it is wrong to do so, the test will pass anyway.

Yeah, that seems a bit awkward since it defeats the purpose of the return checks...

For the non-extending return check cases, can we instead match via patterns such as

// x86_64-linux: define {{(dso_local )?}}i1 @c_ret_bool()

That way if the return type gets a zeroext this check should fail. Using this pattern against the uefi one (where it does zeroext) indeed fails to match.

(This is not blocking; I think we can also do this as a follow-up, since this is pre-existing.)

Follow-up: #164016

Assuming we have the option to pass FileCheck arguments, you could also use something like --implicit-check-not=zeroext --implicit-check-not=signext.

Hm yeah. I'm not sure using the implicit flags is much better though, that also seems not very straightforward when looking at the actual diff right?
