Bug ID: 99276 Summary: grammar in diagnostics for overflowing the destination Product: gcc Version: 11.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: roland.illig at gmx dot de Target Milestone: --- builtins.c says: > "%K%qD may write %E or more bytes " > "into a region of size %E " > "the destination" The word 'overflowing' is missing here. These diagnostics come in pairs: - writing ... overflows the destination - may write ... So my initial guess was wrong. It's not that the word 'overflowing' is missing here, instead 'the destination' should be removed from the diagnostic, as in the other diagnostics nearby.
