Bug ID: 66422 Summary: -Warray-bounds false positive with -O3 Product: gcc Version: 5.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: gajjanagadde at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 35698 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=35698&action=edit test Compiling the following code on GCC 5.1.0 produces a bogus out of bounds warning: ------- #include <inttypes.h> // Simple test file to trigger this bug // Two things noticed: // 1. commenting out const char* bar results in no warning // 2. Changing the "loop" in run_foo to a single, direct control // results in no warning // (These were done independently of each other, starting with this file) typedef struct foo { uint8_t foo_size; int buf[4]; const char* bar; } foo; const foo *get_foo(int index); static int foo_loop(const foo *myfoo) { int i; if (myfoo->foo_size < 3) return 0; for (i = 0; i < myfoo->foo_size; i++) { if (myfoo->buf[i] != 1) return 0; } return 1; } static int run_foo(void) { int i; for (i = 0; i < 1; i++) { const foo *myfoo = get_foo(i); if (foo_loop(myfoo)) return 0; } return -1; } // To suppress "unused run_foo" warning typedef struct hack { int (*func)(void); } hack; hack myhack = { .func = run_foo, }; ---------------------- %gcc -Warray-bounds -O3 -c test.c test.c: In function ‘run_foo’: test.c:22:23: warning: array subscript is above array bounds [-Warray-bounds] if (myfoo->buf[i] != 1) ----------------------- config: Using built-in specs.
