Bug ID: 94580
Summary: missing warning accessing an interior flexible array
member
Product: gcc
Version: 10.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: middle-end
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: msebor at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
In the following (invalid) test case -Warray-bounds only diagnoses one of the
four out-of-bounds references, although it eliminates the seemingly redundant
stores on the (clearly incorrect in this case) assumption that they don't alias
with the reads. It's fine to eliminate the stores (or take whatever other
reasonable action) as long as the out-of-bounds accesses are diagnosed.
GCC warns about declarations of interior flexible array members, but only with
-Wpedantic, so this kind of bugs can easily go undetected.
$ cat t.c && gcc -O2 -S -Wall -Wextra -fdump-tree-vrp=/dev/stdout t.c
struct A { int n, a[]; };
struct B { struct A a; int x; };
struct B b;
int f0 (void)
{
b.a.a[1] = 1; // missing -Warray-bounds (store eliminated)
int t = b.x;
b.a.a[1] = 0; // -Warray-bounds (good)
return b.x - t;
}
int f1 (struct B *p)
{
p->a.a[1] = 1; // missing -Warray-bounds (store eliminated)
int t = p->x;
p->a.a[1] = 0; // missing -Warray-bounds
return p->x - t;
}
