            Bug ID: 99075
           Summary: Wrong classification of functions memchr and memcpy
           Product: gcc
           Version: 11.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: roland.illig at gmx dot de
  Target Milestone: ---

While translating GCC 11 into German, I ran into the following diagnostic:

> Warn about reading past the end of a source array in string manipulation
> functions like memchr and memcpy.

This diagnostic is wrong. Neither memchr nor memcpy are string manipulation
functions.  It's true that they are declared in the header <string.h>, but that
is a historic accident rather than good namespace design.

The word "string" in the diagnostic should be replaced with "memory",
corresponding to the function names.

By the way, does the warning apply to memcmp as well?
