Bug ID: 85175
Summary: [8 regression] false-positive -Wformat-overflow=
warning with gcc-8 -Os
Product: gcc
Version: 8.0.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: tree-optimization
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: arnd at linaro dot org
Target Milestone: ---
This snippet from the Linux kernel produces a bogus warning when built with gcc
-Os, using a recent snapshot (20180402) A two months older version did not
produce the warning, and building with -O2 is also fine. Reduced test case:
$ gcc-8.0.1 -Os -Wall -c test.c
int of_property_read_u32(int *out_value);
int imx_ldb_bind(void)
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
char clkname[16];
__builtin_sprintf(clkname, "di%d_sel", i);
}
return of_property_read_u32(&i);
}
imx-ldb.i: In function 'imx_ldb_bind':
imx-ldb.i:7:35: warning: '_sel' directive writing 4 bytes into a region of size
between 3 and 13 [-Wformat-overflow=]
__builtin_sprintf(clkname, "di%d_sel", i);
