Gap analysis — c4 in decision #838

scry-mcdc · malloc.c:4778 · branch 5906

Status: GAP

What you need

To prove condition c4 independently affects the decision, you need a row where c4 = T and the outcome differs from row 2233 (where c4 = F).

Required condition vector:

  c0 = *
  c1 = *
  c2 = *
  c3 = T
  c4 = T
  c5 = T

Conditions marked * were short-circuited in the baseline row; the new test must drive inputs so they get evaluated to either T or F.

Suggested test stub

#[test]
fn closes_gap_d838_c4() {
    // Verdict: scry-mcdc
    // Source: malloc.c:4778
    // Branch:  5906
    //
    // TODO: drive the function so condition c4 evaluates to the
    // value above and the resulting decision outcome differs from
    // the existing pair row.
    todo!("witness viz: gap drill-down for d#838/c4");
}

After adding the test, re-run: witness instrument && witness run --invoke run_row_NEW && witness report. The condition should flip from gap to proved.
