Bug ID: 87423
Summary: missing warning for strcpy of an unterminated member
array
Product: gcc
Version: 9.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: tree-optimization
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: msebor at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
GCC 9 issues a warning for a strcpy call with an unterminated constant array
but fails to issue the same warning when the array is a member of a const
object as shown in the test case below. (The duplicate warning in the subject
of bug 87422).
$ cat c.c && gcc -O2 -S -Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic c.c
const char a[3] = { '1', '2', '3' };
const struct { char a[3]; } x = { { '1', '2', '3' } };
int f (void)
{
return __builtin_strlen (a); // warning (good)
}
int g (void)
{
return __builtin_strlen (x.a); // missing warning
}
c.c: In function ‘f’:
c.c:7:29: warning: ‘strlen’ argument missing terminating nul
[-Wstringop-overflow=]
7 | return __builtin_strlen (a); // warning (good)
| ^
c.c:1:12: note: referenced argument declared here
1 | const char a[3] = { '1', '2', '3' };
