"Regression" is defined as didn't cause a problem before, but does now. Making this a regression. Besides, according to the warning: size 4 [-Wformat-overflow=] 8 | __builtin_sprintf (a, "%u%u", i, j); | ^~ b.c:8:25: note: using the range [0, 4294967295] for directive argument 8 | __builtin_sprintf (a, "%u%u", i, j); | ^~~~~~ b.c:8:25: note: using the range [0, 4294967295] for directive argument b.c:8:3: note: ‘__builtin_sprintf’ output between 3 and 21 bytes into a destination of size 4 8 | __builtin_sprintf (a, "%u%u", i, j); its using [0, 4294967295] as the range, which is [0, 0xFFFFFFFF] or varying.. so there isn't any new precision of ranges from ranger causing this? TVRYING implies there is no range at all known. Wouldnt we be seeing [0,9] if you were getting more precise ranges?
