I tested with gcc 8 and it built on a opensuse leap system.

Of course you never know where you end up with the gcc -Werror
russian roulette. I don't think any of those can really overflow,
it's all false positives. This one is particularly annoying
because the compiler seems to assume that every char[] variable
is filled up to the maximum, which is flat out wrong.

Anyways this patch should help.
