Bug ID: 68901 Summary: UBSan triggers false -Wpadded warning Product: gcc Version: 5.2.0 URL: http://coliru.stacked-crooked.com/a/6aa2bc2bd5ef0e01 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: diagnostic Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: MildShoe at mailinator dot com Target Milestone: --- Host: x86_64 Target: x86_64 When compiling with -fsanitize=undefined certain structs trigger the -Wpadded warning while without the sanitizer they do not. Judging by the values returned by sizeof/alignof the emitted warning is actually false. The expected size of the sample struct is 16 bytes on x86_64, with 8 byte alignment. The expected values are printed with and without UBSan, but the -Wpadded warning is only emitted when UBSan is enabled. See the attached Coliru link for the code snippet and compiler options used during compilation. Note that this behavior is also present in GCC 4.9.x and 5.1.x
