------- Comment #2 from falk at debian dot org 2009-04-14 14:47 ------- The problem comes from some convoluted code that was apparently substituted for strlen to special-case constant arguments. It boils down to:
int f(void) { if (0) return ((const char *) "")[2]; return 0; } (without the cast, no warning is given). -- falk at debian dot org changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW Ever Confirmed|0 |1 Keywords| |diagnostic Known to fail| |4.5.0 Known to work| |4.4.0 Summary|possible bogus offset |[4.5 regression] warning |warning |"outside bounds of constant | |string" not suppressed in | |dead code http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39748
