Bug ID: 108860 Summary: New (since gcc 12) false positive null-dereference in vector.resize Product: gcc Version: 12.2.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: dezi_0_1 at yahoo dot de Target Milestone: --- The following code produces a warning with gcc 12.1 (tested with godbolt) and 12.2 (tested with godbolt and the version on ubuntu 22.10), but not with gcc 11.3 (tested with godbolt): ❯ cat test.cpp #include <vector> void test(std::size_t val1, std::size_t val2) { std::vector<int> data; if(val2 > 0) data.resize(val1 / val2); } ❯ g++ -O2 -Wnull-dereference test.cpp In file included from /usr/include/c++/12/vector:62, from test.cpp:1: In function ‘void std::_Construct(_Tp*, _Args&& ...)

The warning is also output with -O3 but not with -O1 or -O0.
