--- Comment #5 from CVS Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by David Malcolm <dmalc...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:3175d40fc52fb8eb3c3b18cc343d773da24434fb commit r11-3829-g3175d40fc52fb8eb3c3b18cc343d773da24434fb Author: David Malcolm <dmalc...@redhat.com> Date: Wed Oct 7 18:34:09 2020 -0400 analyzer: add warnings about writes to constant regions [PR95007] This patch adds two new warnings: -Wanalyzer-write-to-const -Wanalyzer-write-to-string-literal for code paths where the analyzer detects a write to a constant region. As noted in the documentation part of the patch, the analyzer doesn't prioritize detection of such writes, in that the state-merging logic will blithely lose the distinction between const and non-const regions. Hence false negatives are likely to arise due to state-merging. However, if the analyzer does happen to spot such a write, it seems worth reporting, hence this patch. gcc/analyzer/ChangeLog: * analyzer.opt (Wanalyzer-write-to-const): New.
