Martin Sebor <msebor at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Known to work| |10.0 Target Milestone|--- |10.0 Known to fail| |9.3.0 Resolution|--- |FIXED Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED --- Comment #1 from Martin Sebor <msebor at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Thanks to r279392 GCC 10 detects the certain overflow in g: pr88441.c: In function āgā: pr88441.c:13:5: warning: writing 8 bytes into a region of size 7 [-Wstringop-overflow=] 13 | __builtin_memcpy (a + i, p, sizeof a); // missing -Wstringop-overflow | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ pr88441.c:1:6: note: at offset 0 to object āaā with size 8 declared here 1 | char a[8]; | ^ It feels like a separate question whether the possible/likely overflow should also be diagnosed when it's not certain. Diagnosing it would be a design change for the overflow warnings that are currently meant to trigger for certain overflows, so I'm going to resolve this as fixed.
