Bug ID: 109191
Summary: GCC static analyzer does not warning `*b = 1` where
`b` is 1.
Product: gcc
Version: 13.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: analyzer
Assignee: dmalcolm at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: geoffreydgr at icloud dot com
Target Milestone: ---
There is a false nagetive. GCC static analyzer does not warning `*b = 1` where
`b` is 1.
In the following case, the value of all elements is 0 except for the a[0][0][0]
which is 1. Dereferencing the pointer variable `b` will result in a crash. I
compiled and ran the program with gcc (version: 13.0.0) and it triggered the
following error: Segmentation fault (core dumped), the analyzer did not
generate an NPD warning.

```c
#include "stdio.h"
void main()
{
int a[3][2][1] = {1};
int *b = (void *)a[0][0][1];
*b = 1;
}
```
