Bug ID: 106842 Summary: misleading warning : iteration X invokes undefined behavior Product: gcc Version: 12.2.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: franckbehaghel_gcc at protonmail dot com Target Milestone: --- Hello, I get the following misleading warning with gcc 12.2 with -O2/-O3. 11.3 seems fine. gcc -O2 main.c main.c: In function ‘main’: main.c:16:38: warning: iteration 9 invokes undefined behavior [-Waggressive-loop-optimizations] 16 | for(int64_t k =0; k<i1 ; k++) | ~^~ main.c:16:31: note: within this loop 16 | for(int64_t k =0; k<i1 ; k++) | ~^~~ cat main.c #include "stdio.h" #include "stdint.h" int main(int argc, char** argv) { int64_t i1=0; int64_t i3=0,i2=0; // warning with this declaration order //int64_t i2=0,i3=0; // but fine (no warning) with this order for ( i1 = 0; i1<10 ; i1++) { for ( ; i2<10 ;i2++ ) printf("L2\n"); for ( ; i3<10 ; i3++ ) for(int64_t k =0; k<i1 ; k++) printf("L3\n"); } printf("i1 %lu i2 %lu i3 %lu\n",i1,i2,i3); return 0; } Could someone reproduce ? The weirdest part of this warning : it depends on the index declaration order. Even if gcc has a bad(?) way of computing internal range/validity to deduce such issues, I would expect it in both order. Regards,
