Bug #: 56891 Summary: Bad static analysis on fread() gives spurious warning on valid code Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.8.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: lto AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: gwo...@gmail.com Created attachment 29838 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=29838 Minimal tarball with makefile The following code should read 17 bytes into a buffer of size 256. But the link-time-optimiser assumes that the read size still has its (initial) massive value, and gives an error gcc-4.8, GNU/Linux, Ubuntu Lucid with PPA gcc-4.8 -v gives: COLLECT_GCC=gcc-4.8 COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/lto-wrapper Target: x86_64-linux-gnu Configured with: ../src/configure -v --with-pkgversion='Ubuntu/Linaro 4.8.0-2ubuntu2~10.04.1' --with-bugurl=file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-4.8/README.Bugs --enable-languages=c,c++,go,fortran,objc,obj-c++ --prefix=/usr --program-suffix=-4.8 --enable-shared --enable-linker-build-id --libexecdir=/usr/lib --without-included-gettext --enable-threads=posix --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.8 --libdir=/usr/lib --enable-nls --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-libstdcxx-time=yes --enable-gnu-unique-object --enable-plugin --with-system-zlib --enable-objc-gc --disable-werror --with-arch-32=i586 --with-abi=m64 --with-multilib-list=m32,m64 --with-tune=generic --enable-checking=release --build=x86_64-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-linux-gnu Thread model: posix gcc version 4.8.0 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.8.0-2ubuntu2~10.04.1)
