Bug ID: 106868
Summary: Bogus -Wdangling-pointer warning with -O1
Product: gcc
Version: 12.2.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: medhefgo at web dot de
Target Milestone: ---
The following code gives me a (afaik) bogus dangling pointer warning:
# cat testcase.c
void alloc(void **p);
void false_dangling(char **p) {
{
void *q;
alloc(&q);
*p = q;
}
char *a = __builtin_memcpy(*p, "", 1);
*a = 0;
}
$ gcc -c -o/dev/null testcase.c -Wdangling-pointer -O1
testcase.c: In function ‘false_dangling’:
testcase.c:9:6: warning: using dangling pointer ‘a’ to ‘q’
[-Wdangling-pointer=]
9 | *a = 0;
| ~~~^~~
testcase.c:4:11: note: ‘q’ declared here
4 | void *q;
|
$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
