Calling f() with a value greater than 7 suppresses the warning while keeping the loop unbounded: $ cat x.c && gcc -O2 -S -Wall -fdump-tree-optimized=/dev/stdout x.c struct { char a[4], b[4]; } x; static inline void f0 (const char *s, int n) { for (int i = 0; i != n; ++i) // warning (good)... x.a[i] = s[i]; } void f1 (const char *s) { f0 (s, 9); // ...infinite loop (pr96509) } ;; Function f1 (f1, funcdef_no=1, decl_uid=1943, cgraph_uid=2, symbol_order=2) (executed once) Merging blocks 3 and 4 f1 (const char * s) { unsigned long ivtmp.5; char _6; <bb 2> [local count: 10631108]: <bb 3> [local count: 1073741824]: # ivtmp.5_11 = PHI <0(2), ivtmp.5_10(3)> _6 = MEM[base: s_2(D), index: ivtmp.5_11, offset: 0B]; MEM[symbol: x, index: ivtmp.5_11, offset: 0B] = _6; ivtmp.5_10 = ivtmp.5_11 + 1; goto <bb 3>; [100.00%] }
