Martin Sebor <msebor at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blocks|88781 | --- Comment #1 from Martin Sebor <msebor at gcc dot gnu.org> --- On second thought, rather than extending -Wstringop-overflow it might be better to diagnoses this under "modifying a const object" as requested in 90404. In addition, rather than diagnosing only built-in functions (and growing the list GCC would have to recognize just to detect bugs), providing an attribute to let users denote pointers to non-modifiable objects would be a better solution. It could be an entirely new attribute or it could be done by extending the existing access attribute read_only to apply also to pointers returned from functions and even to data members.
