Sorry, but you you read my comment on your patch here:

https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2018-08/msg00184.html

????

So I am strictly opposed to implementing new warnings now,
which just papers over existing design issues in this area.

I think the most important problem in the strlen folding is that
c_strlen and get_range_strlen do not have the the information
what kind of string length they should return,
(as measured in char/wchar16/wchar32)
Most of the time only length in char makes any sense.

Only for sprintf processing a different char type may be
requested, but the sprintf code in the middle end does not
know which is the wchar type.

I have sent a followup patch that passes char size units
to c_strlen and get_range_strlen here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2018-08/msg00795.html

I hope you understand, that I would like to fix design issues
before implementing new features, since that will obviously
become more difficult when even more features are being
implemented without fixing some basics first.


Bernd.
