When the byte offset of a struct member cannot be computed (struct with non-constant-width members), fall back to using the member expression itself as the object rather than asserting.

  • Each commit message has a non-empty body, explaining why the change was made.
  • Methods or procedures I have added are documented, following the guidelines provided in CODING_STANDARD.md.
  • The feature or user visible behaviour I have added or modified has been documented in the User Guide in doc/cprover-manual/
  • Regression or unit tests are included, or existing tests cover the modified code (in this case I have detailed which ones those are in the commit message).
  • My commit message includes data points confirming performance improvements (if claimed).
  • My PR is restricted to a single feature or bugfix.
  • White-space or formatting changes outside the feature-related changed lines are in commits of their own.

When the byte offset of a struct member cannot be computed (struct with
non-constant-width members), fall back to using the member expression
itself as the object rather than asserting.

Pull request overview

Note

Copilot was unable to run its full agentic suite in this review.

Updates build_object_descriptor_rec to avoid asserting when a struct member’s byte offset can’t be computed (e.g., structs with non-constant-width members) by falling back to treating the member expression itself as the object.

Changes:

  • Replaced CHECK_RETURN(offset.has_value()) with a fallback path when the member offset is unavailable.
  • Sets the object descriptor’s object to the member expression and exits early in the fallback case.

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
