            Bug ID: 102805
           Summary: at -O2, spurious stringop-overflow warning writing to
                    std::vector::back()
           Product: gcc
           Version: 11.2.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: rudick at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

g++ -O2 -Wextra -Wall -Werror -Wextra vectorBackWrite.cpp

#include <vector>
#include <stddef.h>
#include <iostream>

extern FILE* f;
void triggerBug(uint64_t start, uint64_t end) {
  if (f && end > start) {
    std::vector<char> data(end - start + 1);
    auto res = fread(&data[0], end-start, 1, f);
    if (res == 1) {
      data.back() = 0;
    }
  }
}

error is:

vectorBackWrite.cpp: In function ‘void triggerBug(uint64_t, uint64_t)’:
vectorBackWrite.cpp:11:19: error: writing 1 byte into a region of size 0
[-Werror=stringop-overflow=]
   11 |       data.back() = 0;

cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors


Interestingly, this also fails w/ the same error:
*(data.rbegin()) = 0;

but this is accepted:
data[data.size()-1] = 0;

code works in gcc7 & gcc9 on the same platform, & works on gcc11 with -O1
It also seems to require the fread to be present
