I only see the warning at -O1 (and with -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG). It also goes away if I force std::string::_M_mutate to be inlined. _M_mutate allocates the dynamic string so with it inlined GCC can determine that the local buffer is no longer used and eliminate the invalid call. So as in the other cases we have seen recently, this false positive is due to some optimizer limitations caused by the combination of -O1 and a decision to throttle inlining. The second warning is due to the same issue. It too goes away with more aggressive inlining (on x86_64 setting -finline-limit=200 avoids it).
