Re: [bug #60798] Make does not compile with GCC 11.1.0

[RANDRIANAINA Georges Aaron]

It gives the same error:

src/main.c:1954:16: error: writes 1 byte in a region of size 0 [-Werror=stringop-overflow=]
1954 |       *(p - 1) = '\0';
|       ~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~

Le 21/06/2021 à 16:12, David A. Wheeler a écrit :

     p[-1] = '\0';

Is this just a style warning being turned into an error?

That is, would this compile if the line was rewritten as:

*(p - 1) = ‘\0’;

Which means the same thing per the spec?

If the rewrite would fix it, I suggest doing the rewrite, to

reduce compilation problems.
