Bug ID: 108467
Summary: false positive -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning at -O1 or
higher
Product: gcc
Version: 12.2.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: tree-optimization
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: vincent-gcc at vinc17 dot net
Target Milestone: ---
Consider the following code, derived from MPFR's sub1sp.c (where the issue
occurred since at least GCC 4.9.4 and the warning was silenced with the "sh =
sh" trick via an INITIALIZED() macro):
extern long emin;
extern long emax;
int f(void);
int g(void)
{
int sh, rb, sb;
if (f())
rb = sb = 0;
else
{
sh = f();
sb = f();
rb = f();
}
(0 >= emin && 0 <= emax) || (f(), __builtin_unreachable(), 0);
if (rb == 0 && sb == 0)
return 0;
else
return sh;
}
With gcc-12 (Debian 12.2.0-14) 12.2.0, I get:
$ gcc-12 -O2 -Wmaybe-uninitialized -c tst.c
tst.c: In function ‘g’:
tst.c:23:12: warning: ‘sh’ may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
23 | return sh;
| ^~
tst.c:8:7: note: ‘sh’ was declared here
8 | int sh, rb, sb;
| ^~
The warning also occurs at -O1 and -O3. It disappears if I slightly modify the
code.
Note: During the code reduction, I also got the warning, but with a different
location. However, the code was more complex, and I've already reported
PR108466 about a location issue (where the -Wmaybe-uninitialized is correct).
So I haven't reported an additional issue about the location.
