Bug ID: 109720 Summary: -Wmaybe-uninitialized triggering when I can see no path that would allow it Product: gcc Version: 13.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: psmith at gnu dot org Target Milestone: --- I recently upgraded to GCC 13.1 and when building some code that uses boost::dynamic_bitset I'm seeing the -Wmaybe-ininitialized warning triggering when it's impossible for any object of the class to be created without the m_num_bits field being initialized. I've tried to reduce this without luck. Also if I do other, seemingly irrelevant things then the warning goes away. I wonder if it's somehow related to the placement new that we use for the union...? I'll attach the postprocessed output. Code: DynamicBitSet set(200); size_t setup(size_t ln) { size_t count = 0; DynamicBitSet nbits(set); for (auto bit: nbits) { count += bit; } return count; } I checked and this also failed in GCC 11.3; maybe -Wall didn't used to include this warning and now it does which is why I didn't notice it before?
