The stringop-overflow diagnostic is about the same thing. There's eventually a missed optimization that we do not discover this path as not taken, but I do not see any write to size_ in the function. There's <bb 5> [local count: 272474101]: *pretmp_118 = 1; if (pretmp_154 == 0) goto <bb 6>; [50.00%] else goto <bb 12>; [50.00%] and <bb 4> [local count: 148083751]: pretmp_118 = MEM[(struct buffer *)this_10(D)].ptr_; pretmp_154 = MEM[(struct buffer *)this_10(D)].capacity_; if (exp_6(D) == 0) goto <bb 5>; [20.24%] else goto <bb 13>; [79.76%] but given capacity is zero on this path size_ is probably zero as well (but that's not visible here). An assertion in the library that size_ <= capacity_ would maybe help. To sum up, there's nothing the diagnostic code can do here - it simply doesn't have sufficient information to prune this diagnostic.
