--- Comment #1 from Martin Sebor <msebor at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
See also bug 71501.

For another example consider the test case below.  Both functions attempt to
read a character array that isn't (necessarily) nul-terminated.  In f, the
function ends up reading the uninitialized contents of the local array and so
it should, arguably, be diagnosed by -Wuninitialized.  In g, the function reads
past the end of the local array so it could also be diagnosed by
-Wuninitialized, or 


$ cat z.c && gcc -O2 -S -Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic z.c
unsigned f (void)
{
  char d[4];
  __builtin_memcpy (d, "12", 2);
  return __builtin_strlen (d);   // missing warning
}

unsigned g (void)
{
  char d[4];
  __builtin_memcpy (d, "1234", 4);
  return __builtin_strlen (d);   // missing warning
}
