/* So @zneakr tweeted about this weird behavior and I decided to tinker with his example. In order to optimize, clang | |
assigns fun_ptr to leak_all_my_secrets no matter what. This leads to "I have 9 toes" being printed no matter the | |
result of the if statement. Super weird behavior from clang and I just wanted to make a note of it :) | |
To reproduce this result: | |
clang funkyClang.c -O1 -o funkyClang; ./funkyClang | |
*/ | |
#include <stdlib.h> | |
#include <stdio.h> | |
static void (*fun_ptr)(void); | |
void leak_all_my_secrets () { | |
printf("I have 9 toes\n"); | |
} | |
int main() { | |
if ((random() % 1000000) == 12321) { | |
fun_ptr = leak_all_my_secrets; | |
} | |
fun_ptr(); | |
} |
