Thee warnings seem to be bogus.
"libbb/single_argv.c:13:17: warning: array subscript is above array bounds"
char* FAST_FUNC single_argv(char **argv)
{
if (argv[1] && strcmp(argv[1], "--") == 0)
argv++;
if (!argv[1] || argv[2])
bb_show_usage();
return argv[1];
}
I don't see how gcc arrived to this conclusion.
<shrug> Since ianap, I don't either... ;) Anything else I can do to provide more info? Any chance you could provide me some more feedback as to WHY this is invalid, so maybe the gentoo ebuild maintainer could fix this on his end? The fact is, it IS throwing those errors. (In reply to comment #3) it's not really something to be "fixed" in the ebuild. it's a code snippet to take to upstream gcc and fix the compiler if it is actually issuing a bogus warning. |
Hello, When installing (actually I'm updating, but I'm fairly sure it has always produced these warnings) 1.20.1 on fully updated gentoo linux, the following severe warnings are triggered (with instructions to report this problem upstream, so here I am): "QA Notice: Package triggers severe warnings which indicate that it may exhibit random runtime failures. coreutils/basename.c:54:17: warning: array subscript is above array bounds archival/libarchive/get_header_tar.c:268:34: warning: array subscript is above array bounds init/init.c:1001:17: warning: array subscript is above array bounds init/init.c:1082:41: warning: array subscript is above array bounds libbb/appletlib.c:708:36: warning: array subscript is above array bounds archival/libarchive/open_transformer.c:193:38: warning: array subscript is above array bounds archival/libarchive/open_transformer.c:195:38: warning: array subscript is above array bounds editors/vi.c:1292:13: warning: array subscript is above array bounds editors/vi.c:1293:13: warning: array subscript is above array bounds coreutils/stty.c:1259:11: warning: array subscript is above array bounds coreutils/test.c:840:8: warning: array subscript is above array bounds miscutils/mt.c:107:6: warning: array subscript is above array bounds networking/nc_bloaty.c:753:7: warning: array subscript is above array bounds shell/ash.c:3788:17: warning: array subscript is above array bounds shell/ash.c:10783:8: warning: array subscript is above array bounds shell/ash.c:10785:13: warning: array subscript is above array bounds util-linux/getopt.c:325:37: warning: array subscript is above array bounds libbb/single_argv.c:13:17: warning: array subscript is above array bounds util-linux/mdev.c:735:17: warning: array subscript is above array bounds util-linux/rtcwake.c:180:6: warning: array subscript is above array bounds util-linux/rtcwake.c:205:6: warning: array subscript is above array bounds libbb/appletlib.c:708:36: warning: array subscript is above array bounds Please do not file a Gentoo bug and instead report the above QA issues directly to the upstream developers of this software.
