Hi! We use incorrect type for the NULL return value, the builtin is char *strpbrk (const char *, const char *), so the first argument is cast to const char * and we return (const char *) 0, while we really should return (char *) 0. fold_builtin_n then adds: ret = build1 (NOP_EXPR, TREE_TYPE (ret), ret); SET_EXPR_LOCATION (ret, loc); TREE_NO_WARNING (ret) = 1; and thus we in the end have (char *) (_Literal (const char *) 0). This bug then results in a -Wdiscarded-qualifiers warning.
Fixed thusly, bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux, ok for trunk? 2018-03-20 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR c/84953 * builtins.c (fold_builtin_strpbrk): For strpbrk(x, "") use type instead of TREE_TYPE (s1) for the return value. * gcc.dg/pr84953.c: New test. --- gcc/builtins.c.jj 2018-03-07 22:51:58.871478732 +0100 +++ gcc/builtins.c 2018-03-19 18:49:45.313898848 +0100 @@ -9573,7 +9573,7 @@ fold_builtin_strpbrk (location_t loc, tr if (p2[0] == '\0') /* strpbrk(x, "") == NULL.
