Bug ID: 99944 Summary: incorrect maybe-uninitialized warning on variable defined as an array Product: gcc Version: 11.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: vincent-gcc at vinc17 dot net Target Milestone: --- Consider the following testcase derived from the initial testcase of PR85777 and its cleaned-up testcase (which is actually a bit different since an enum was replaced by an int, and it matters here). int d; int h(void); void e1(void) { int f[2]; int g = 0; if (d) g++; if (d == 1) f[g++] = 2; (void) (f[0] || (g && h())); } void e2(void) { enum { a } f[2]; int g = 0; if (d) g++; if (d == 1) f[g++] = a; (void) (f[0] || (g && h())); } With a GCC snapshot built a few hour ago from the master branch: cventin% gcc --version gcc (GCC) 11.0.1 20210406 (experimental) [...] cventin% gcc -Werror=maybe-uninitialized -O2 -c file.c file.c: In function ‘e1’: file.c:11:3: error: ‘f[0]’ may be used uninitialized [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] 11 | (void) (f[0] || (g && h())); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ file.c: In function ‘e2’: file.c:21:3: error: ‘*(unsigned int *)(&f[0])’ may be used uninitialized [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] 21 | (void) (f[0] || (g && h())); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cc1: some warnings being treated as errors The error for e1 is correct, but not the one for e2 (for e2, previous GCC versions were outputting ‘f’ instead of ‘*(unsigned int *)(&f[0])’, but this is about the same thing). cventin% gcc -Werror=maybe-uninitialized -O2 -c file.c -fsanitize=undefined file.c: In function ‘e1’: file.c:11:12: error: ‘f’ may be used uninitialized [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] 11 | (void) (f[0] || (g && h())); | ~^~~ file.c:5:7: note: ‘f’ declared here 5 | int f[2]; | ^ file.c: In function ‘e2’: file.c:21:12: error: ‘f’ may be used uninitialized [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] 21 | (void) (f[0] || (g && h())); | ~^~~ file.c:15:14: note: ‘f’ declared here 15 | enum { a } f[2]; | ^ cc1: some warnings being treated as errors Here, with the option -fsanitize=undefined added, both errors are incorrect.
