Bug ID: 108637 Summary: ASAN at -O2 misses a stack-use-after-scope Product: gcc Version: 13.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: sanitizer Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: shaohua.li at inf dot ethz.ch CC: dodji at gcc dot gnu.org, dvyukov at gcc dot gnu.org, jakub at gcc dot gnu.org, kcc at gcc dot gnu.org, marxin at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- For the following code, ASAN at -O2 cannot detect the stack-use-after-scope. This happens since GCC-11. GCC-10 and below work fine. I understand that there is a type-incompatible warning. But I believe it should not affect the ASAN anyway.
