 117    Say a developer starts out with:
 118    ...
 119    extern void foo (void *ptr) __attribute__((nonnull (1)));
 120    void foo (void *ptr) {}
 121    ...
 122    with the idea in mind to catch:
 123    ...
 124    foo (nullptr);
 125    ...
 126    at compile time with -Werror=nonnull, and then adds:
 127    ...
 128     void foo (void *ptr) {
 129    +  gdb_assert (ptr != nullptr);
 130     }
 131    ...
 132    to catch:
 133    ...
 134    foo (variable_with_nullptr_value);
 135    ...
 136    at runtime as well.
 137
 138    Said developer then verifies that the assert works (using -O0), and commits
 139    the code.
 140
 141    Some other developer then checks out the code and accidentally writes some
 142    variant of:
 143    ...
 144    foo (variable_with_nullptr_value);
 145    ...
 146    and builds with -O2, and ... the assert doesn't trigger, because it's
 147    optimized away by gcc.
 148
 149    There's no suppported recipe to prevent the assertion from being optimized
 150    away (other than: build with -O0, or remove the nonnull attribute).  Note
 151    that -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks does not help.  A patch was submitted
 152    to improve gcc documentation to point this out more clearly (
 153    https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2021-July/576218.html ).  The
 154    patch also mentions a possible workaround that obfuscates the pointer
 155    using:
 156    ...
 157     void foo (void *ptr) {
 158    +  asm ("" : "+r"(ptr));
 159       gdb_assert (ptr != nullptr);
 160     }
 161    ...
 162    but that still requires the developer to manually add this in all cases
 163    where that's necessary.
 164
 165    A warning was added to detect the situation: -Wnonnull-compare, which does
 166    help in detecting those cases, but each new gcc release may indicate a new
 167    batch of locations that needs fixing, which means we've added a maintenance
 168    burden.
 169
 170    We could try to deal with the problem more proactively by introducing a
 171    gdb_assert variant like:
 172    ...
 173    void gdb_assert_non_null (void *ptr) {
 174       asm ("" : "+r"(ptr));
 175       gdb_assert (ptr != nullptr);
 176     }
 177     void foo (void *ptr) {
 178       gdb_assert_nonnull (ptr);
 179     }
 180    ...
 181    and make it a coding style to use it everywhere, but again, maintenance
 182    burden.
 183
 184    With all these things considered, for now we go with the solution with the
 185    least maintenance burden: disable the attribute, such that we reliably deal
 186    with it everywhere.  */
