Bug ID: 110807 Summary: Copy list initialisation of a vector<bool> raises a warning with -O2 Product: gcc Version: 13.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: twic at urchin dot earth.li Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 55631 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=55631&action=edit the source coded needed to reproduce the problem If you have a class with a vector<bool> member: struct Foo { std::vector<bool> byCallSpread; }; And try to initialise it with copy list initialisation: Foo() { byCallSpread = {true, false}; } Then that works fine with the default optimisation level, but gets a warning at -O2 saying: /usr/local/include/c++/13.1.0/bits/stl_algobase.h:437:30: warning: 'void* __builtin_memmove(void*, const void*, long unsigned int)' writing between 9 and 9223372036854775807 bytes into a region of size 8 overflows the destination [-Wstringop-overflow=] 437 | __builtin_memmove(__result, __first, sizeof(_Tp) * _Num); | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (i believe this is the relevant error - i am not very good at reading error messages, so apologies if not) The warning goes away if the initialisation uses an explicit constructor: Foo() { byCallSpread = std::vector<bool>({true, false}); } I did not get this warning with GCC 7.2.0. According to Compiler Explorer, it does not occur with GCC 12.3. Here is a transcript of a self-contained session using the GCC 13.1.0 official Docker image (official for Docker, perhaps not for GCC!) which demonstrates the problem: $ sudo docker run -it gcc:13.1.0 root@4694030a8bea:/# gcc -v Using built-in specs.
