Bug ID: 81023 Summary: False positiv stack-use-after-scope (worked with GCC 6, fails with GCC 7) Product: gcc Version: unknown Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: sanitizer Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: d.frey at gmx dot de CC: dodji at gcc dot gnu.org, dvyukov at gcc dot gnu.org, jakub at gcc dot gnu.org, kcc at gcc dot gnu.org, marxin at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 41506 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=41506&action=edit Minimal program to reproduce the problem I got a report from address sanitizer about a stack-use-after-scope, which I believe is a false positive. I managed to shrink the code down to 99 lines, but no further (that already took 2.5 days). Code properties: - No includes - No templates - No loops - No recursion - No heap allocations - Compiles cleanly with -pedantic -Wall -Wextra -Werror Problem properties: - Using GCC 6 (and its address sanitizer) solves the problem, only GCC 7 reports it. - Some flags like -O0 or -O3 solve the problem, -O1 still produces it. - Using -fno-inline solves the problem. - Almost every change to the code in order to simplify it will solve the problem. I'm at a total loss as to what is wrong and I am pretty sure the code itself it not accessing the stack after the scope is gone. The area I am suspicious about is: I'm throwing an exception and the destructor of the class "marker" is writing some bytes (assignment of "iterator"). Is this confusing the address sanitizer?
