~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think it's a victim of an existing (and very annoying) misdetection of
memory overwrites (https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=125187).
It's not directly related to my patch (which optimizes moving a range, not
filling it), but my patch changes the detection logic causing gcc to think
the region is of size 0 (where it should be 4).

I enhanced the test code to be a full program and verified it works with
asan.

I'm not sure how to proceed. I don't want to patch pr118521.C to disable
-Wstringop-overflow, since that's what it's testing.
