This patch (commit r261518) has broken the build of the glibc testsuite. I see, for example for aarch64-linux-gnu with build-many-glibcs.py:
In function 'test_strncat', inlined from 'main' at tester.c:1621:3: tester.c:490:13: error: 'strncat' accessing 18446744073709551600 or more bytes at offsets 0 and 0 overlaps 9223372036854775793 bytes at offset -9223372036854775793 [-Werror=restrict] check (strncat (buf1 + n2, buf2 + n1, ~((size_t) 0) - n4) ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors The code in question already has -Wstringop-overflow= and -Warray-bounds warnings disabled as it's deliberately testing a large size. But a -Wrestrict warning makes no sense to me at all here. The arguments are based on two different variables, buf1 and buf2, and regardless of sizes and offsets I wouldn't expect a -Wrestrict warning when the arguments are based on different array variables like that. -- Joseph S.
