Bug ID: 100705
Summary: warn about dead store
Product: gcc
Version: 11.1.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: analyzer
Assignee: dmalcolm at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: mail at milianw dot de
Target Milestone: ---
Hey there,
in a large code base I'm working on I stumbled over code in one area that
basically did the below, but in a more elaborate manner. It would have been
quite helpful to get a warning when `-fanalyzer` is passed, because in my
opinion, this code is bogus:
```
struct Properties
{
int foo = 0;
int bar = 0;
};
Properties asdf()
{
Properties ret;
ret.foo = 42; // warning: this has no effect
ret.bar = 1;
ret.foo = 12; // b/c it's unconditionally overwritten here
return ret;
}
```
Thanks
