--- Comment #6 from Arthur O'Dwyer <arthur.j.odwyer at gmail dot com> --- Will Wray points out that GCC's own codebase disables `-Warray-bounds` in several places, including at least these places in current master: gcc/cp/module.cc:#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Warray-bounds" gcc/fortran/simplify.cc: GCC_DIAGNOSTIC_PUSH_IGNORED (-Warray-bounds) gcc/fortran/simplify.cc: GCC_DIAGNOSTIC_PUSH_IGNORED (-Warray-bounds) gcc/fortran/simplify.cc: GCC_DIAGNOSTIC_PUSH_IGNORED (-Warray-bounds) libgcc/config/pa/fptr.c:#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Warray-bounds" libstdc++-v3/include/bits/char_traits.h:#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Warray-bounds" libstdc++-v3/include/experimental/bits/simd_fixed_size.h:#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Warray-bounds" libstdc++-v3/include/experimental/bits/simd_fixed_size.h:#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Warray-bounds" For example, the first hit in "gcc/fortran/simplify.cc": if (n < result->rank) { /* If the nested loop is unrolled GFC_MAX_DIMENSIONS times, we'd warn for the last iteration, because the array index will have already been incremented to the array sizes, and we can't tell that this must make the test against result->rank false, because ranks must not exceed GFC_MAX_DIMENSIONS. */ GCC_DIAGNOSTIC_PUSH_IGNORED (-Warray-bounds) count[n]++; base += sstride[n]; dest += dstride[n]; GCC_DIAGNOSTIC_POP }
