Bug #: 53198 Summary: [4.6 Regression] gcc wrongly emits "array subscript is above array bounds" for simple arrays Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.6.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: vap...@gentoo.org CC: toolch...@gentoo.org Target: x86_64-linux-gnu simple code that processes arrays based on NULL terminator rather than ARRAY_SIZE $ cat test.c void *devices[] = { 0, }; int main() { int i; for (i = 0; devices[i]; i++) ; return 0; } $ gcc -Warray-bounds -O2 test.c test.c: In function 'main': test.c:5:21: warning: array subscript is above array bounds [-Warray-bounds] looks like it started failing with 4.6.0 ... older versions are fine.
