The combination of the two isolates stores from the loop that are out of bounds but that GCC cannot prove cannot happen: it has no insight into what value pqr_mbc_len() might return and if it's 5 or more the code would indeed write past the end. The warning just points it out. To "fix" this the unroller could use the bounds of the destination array to avoid emitting code for iterations of the loop that end up accessing objects outside their bounds (there already is logic that does that, controlled by the -faggressive-loop-optimizations option). Until then, if the function is guaranteed to return a value between 0 and 4 then adding the following assertion both avoids the warning and improves the emitted code. if (len < 0 || MBC_MAX < len) __builtin_unreachable (); The invalid stores can be seen in the IL output by the -fdump-tree-strlen=/dev/stdout developer option: <bb 7> [local count: 76354976]: bnd.6_47 = _26 >> 2; vect__3.11_53 = MEM <vector(4) char> [(char *)mbs_22]; MEM <vector(4) char> [(char *)&tmpchar] = vect__3.11_53; vectp_mbs.9_52 = mbs_22 + 4; niters_vector_mult_vf.7_48 = bnd.6_47 << 2; tmp.8_49 = (int) niters_vector_mult_vf.7_48; if (_26 == niters_vector_mult_vf.7_48) goto <bb 15>; [25.00%] else goto <bb 8>; [75.00%] <bb 8> [local count: 57266232]: _75 = (sizetype) tmp.8_49; _76 = vectp_mbs.9_52; _77 = MEM[(char *)vectp_mbs.9_52]; tmpchar[tmp.8_49] = _77; <<< -Wstringop-overflow k_79 = tmp.8_49 + 1; if (len_12 > 5) goto <bb 9>; [80.00%] else goto <bb 15>; [20.00%] <bb 9> [local count: 45812986]: _82 = 5; _83 = mbs_22 + 5; _84 = *_83; tmpchar[5] = _84; <<< -Wstringop-overflow k_86 = tmp.8_49 + 2; if (len_12 > k_86) goto <bb 10>; [80.00%] else goto <bb 15>; [20.00%] Referenced Bugs: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88443 [Bug 88443] [meta-bug] bogus/missing -Wstringop-overflow warnings
