Bug ID: 88058
Summary: gcc fails to detect use of out of scope variable ?
Product: gcc
Version: 8.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: dcb314 at hotmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
Generalising from bugs # 88056 and # 88057,
for the following code, gcc says nothing:
extern void g( char *);
void f( int n, char * p1)
{
char * p2;
p2 = p1;
if (n >= 0)
{
char buf[ 10];
p2 = buf;
}
g( p2); // Bang !
}
