--- Comment #10 from CVS Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by Jonathan Wakely <r...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:bf78b43873b0b7e8f9a430df38749b8b61f9c9b8 commit r13-6915-gbf78b43873b0b7e8f9a430df38749b8b61f9c9b8 Author: Jonathan Wakely <jwak...@redhat.com> Date: Tue Mar 28 10:50:40 2023 +0100 libstdc++: Tell GCC what basic_string::_M_is_local() means [PR109299] This avoids a bogus warning about overflowing a buffer, because GCC can't tell that we don't copy into the buffer unless it fits. By adding a __builtin_unreachable() hint we inform the compiler about the invariant that the buffer is only used when it's big enough. This can also improve codegen, by eliminating dead code that GCC couldn't tell was unreachable. libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog: PR libstdc++/109299 * include/bits/basic_string.h (basic_string::_M_is_local()): Add hint for compiler that local strings fit in the local buffer.
