Bug ID: 105580
Summary: False warning "potential null pointer dereference"
raised when using istreambuf_iterator and any "-O"
flag
Product: gcc
Version: 12.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: j.gaffiot at laposte dot net
Target Milestone: ---
I found what I believe is a false positive with g++ 12 when using the
"null-dereference" warning and istreambuf_iterator with any level of
optimisation. And of course the "-Werror" flag is mandatory in my company
process.
I have searched for such similar bug report.
This behavior does not show up with g++ 11.2.0 or g++ 9.4.0.
Minimal example (basically the first lines of the cppreference example for
istreambuf_iterator):
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
int main()
{
std::istringstream in{"Hello, world"};
std::istreambuf_iterator<char> it(in), end;
std::string ss{it, end};
return 0;
}
Compiled with:
g++-12 -O -Wnull-dereference <my_file>
