            Bug ID: 108554
           Summary: Warning "null pointer dereferece" raised when
                    extracting a unique_ptr from a map and any "-O" flag
           Product: gcc
           Version: 12.2.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: libstdc++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: fcontact at cuveland dot de
  Target Milestone: ---

I found what I believe might be a false positive with g++ 12 when using the
"-Wnull-dereference" warning and a map of unique_ptr with any level of
optimisation.

This behavior does not show up in GCC 9, 10, and 11.

Small but complete example:

#include <map>
#include <memory>
#include <string>
#include <utility>

int main()
{
  // create and initialize a map
  std::map<std::string, std::unique_ptr<int>> my_map;
  my_map["my_key"] = std::make_unique<int>(1);

  auto it = my_map.find("my_key");
  if (it != my_map.end()) {
    // extract an item from the map
    auto item = std::move(my_map.extract(it).mapped());
    return *item;
  }
  return 0;
}

Compiled with:
g++-12 -O -Wnull-dereference <filename>

Compiler version:
g++ (Compiler-Explorer-Build-gcc--binutils-2.38) 12.2.0
