            Bug ID: 36242
           Summary: memset(foo,sizeof(foo),0) should warn
           Product: clang
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: Frontend
          Assignee: unassignedclangb...@nondot.org
          Reporter: felix-l...@fefe.de
                CC: llvm-bugs@lists.llvm.org

Consider this code:

#include <string.h>

int main() {
  char buf[100];

  memset(buf,sizeof(buf),0);
}

gcc -Wall will warn about this:

t.c: In function ‘main’:
t.c:6:3: warning: ‘memset’ used with constant zero length parameter; this could
be due to transposed parameters [-Wmemset-transposed-args]
   memset(buf,sizeof(buf),0);
   ^~~~~~

I think clang should warn about this, too.
I tried clang 5.0.1 and 7.0.0 (trunk 323933) with -Weverything and got no
warning.

It could be argued that this belongs in the static analyzer, but even with
scan-build I get no warnings about this.
