Q. Do we have a canonical test for the trailing array idiom? In some
contexts isn't it size 1? ISTM This test needs slight improvement.
Ideally we'd use some canonical test for detect the trailing array idiom
rather than open-coding it here. You might look at the array index
warnings in tree-vrp.c to see if it's got a canonical test you can call
or factor and use.
You're right, there is an API for this (array_at_struct_end_p,
as Richard pointed out). I didn't want to use it because it
treats any array at the end of a struct as a flexible array
member, but simple tests show that that's what -Wstringop-
overflow does now, and it wasn't my intention to tighten up
the checking under this change. It surprises me that no tests
exposed this. Let me relax the check and think about proposing
to tighten it up separately.

So in the case where you issue the warning, what should the return value
be? According to the comment it should be false. It looks like you got
the wrong return value for the tree_int_cst_lt (dstsize, len) test.
Corrected. The return value is unused by the only caller so
there is no test to exercise it.

So using gsi_next to find the next statement could make the heuristic
fail to find the a[sizeof a - 1] = '\0'; statement when debugging is
enabled.
gsi_next_nondebug would be better as it would skip over any debug insns.
Thanks. I'll have to remember this.
What might be even better would be to use the immediate uses of the
memory tag. For your case there should be only one immediate use and it
should point to the statement which NUL terminates the destination. Or
maybe that would be worse in that you only want to allow this exception
when the statements are consecutive.
I'll have to try this to better understand how it might work.

You still need to rename strlen_optimize_stmt since after your changes
it does both optimizations and warnings.
I'm not sure I understand why. It's a pre-existing function that
just dispatches to the built-in handlers. We don't rename function
callers each time we improve error/warning detection in some
function they call (case in point: all the expanders in builtins.c)
Why do it here? And what would be a suitable name? All that comes
to my mind is awkward variations on strlen_optimize_stmt_and_warn.
I think we're going to need one more iteration on this patch within the
kit. I'm glazing over a bit tonight.
Sure. I'm working on a few things at the same time so let me try
to make some progress on those and post an updated of this work
next week.
