Bug ID: 108366 Summary: [12/13 Regression] Spurious stringop overflow, possibly alias-related Product: gcc Version: 12.2.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: BenWiederhake.GitHub at gmx dot de Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 54241 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=54241&action=edit Minimal C++ file that reproduces the bug This seems similar but different from #107852. Starting with gcc 12 and continuing into the current trunk (git aa966d54ee4), the compiler emits a stringop overflow warning. In addition to the attachment: https://godbolt.org/z/3xorbqsha I would expect either of the following behaviors: - In line 20 (marked with "// !!!"), the compiler sees that even if `new` returned a nullptr for any reason, if execution continues in the make_vector() function, it can now assume that new_buffer is non-null, and therefore memset is safe. - Alternatively, if the compiler cannot deduce that, then the warning should not be generated, since the compiler cannot now what pointer will be returned by data(). gcc trunk (git aa966d54ee4) → spurious warning gcc 12.2.0 (Debian 12.2.0-13) → spurious warning gcc 11.3.0 (Debian 11.3.0-10) → no warning gcc 10.4.0 (Debian 10.4.0-6) → no warning clang 13 and 14 → no warning system type: Debian testing, x86_64 options during configure: Debian gcc reports: ../src/configure -v --with-pkgversion='Debian 12.2.0-13' --with-bugurl=file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-12/README.Bugs --enable-languages=c,ada,c++,go,d,fortran,objc,obj-c++,m2 --prefix=/usr --with-gcc-major-version-only --program-suffix=-12 --program-prefix=x86_64-linux-gnu- --enable-shared --enable-linker-build-id --libexecdir=/usr/lib --without-included-gettext --enable-threads=posix --libdir=/usr/lib --enable-nls --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-libstdcxx-time=yes --with-default-libstdcxx-abi=new --enable-gnu-unique-object --disable-vtable-verify --enable-plugin --enable-default-pie --with-system-zlib --enable-libphobos-checking=release --with-target-system-zlib=auto --enable-objc-gc=auto --enable-multiarch --disable-werror --enable-cet --with-arch-32=i686 --with-abi=m64 --with-multilib-list=m32,m64,mx32 --enable-multilib --with-tune=generic --enable-offload-targets=nvptx-none=/build/gcc-12-PBog5r/gcc-12-12.2.0/debian/tmp-nvptx/usr,amdgcn-amdhsa=/build/gcc-12-PBog5r/gcc-12-12.2.0/debian/tmp-gcn/usr --enable-offload-defaulted --without-cuda-driver --enable-checking=release --build=x86_64-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-linux-gnu When I manually built it I used this: ../gcc-src/configure --enable-shared --disable-werror --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-default-pie --enable-lto --enable-threads=posix --enable-initfini-array --with-linker-hash-style=gnu --disable-multilib complete commandline that triggers the bug: g++ -O2 -o foo repro.cpp compiler error message: ``` In function ‘Vector make_vector()’, inlined from ‘int main()’ at repro.cpp:36:31: repro.cpp:27:11: warning: ‘void* memset(void*, int, size_t)’ writing 128 bytes into a region of size 40 overflows the destination [-Wstringop-overflow=] 27 | memset(buffer.data(), 'A', new_size); | ~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ repro.cpp: In function ‘int main()’: repro.cpp:36:10: note: destination object ‘actual’ of size 40 36 | auto actual = make_vector(); | ^~~~~~ ``` preprocessed file (*.i*) that triggers the bug: See next comments, I can't figure out how to put more than one attachment in a single comment.
