            Bug ID: 103780
           Summary: zero pointer is considered true
           Product: gcc
           Version: 10.3.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: lucfety at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

Created attachment 52036
  --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=52036&action=edit
gcc-10 -v -save-temps -o main -O2 main.ii f.ii

Under certain conditions (see the code for example), a pointer that goes to 0
after decrement is still considered true.

Yes a pointer is never a null pointer if it is decremented and it was a valid
pointer to begin with.

Use -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks if you want to disable this optimization.

It is undefined to decrement a pointer to point before an object.

The code shows 2 cases:
1) a pointer decremented to zero is true
2) a pointer decremented to zero is false
Bizare ...
Thank you for seeing the code.
-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks seems to fix indetermination
Thank you

Yes that's the nature of undefined behaviour. It might have surprising results.
Don't write code with undefined behaviour.

The FIXED resolution means a bug in GCC was fixed, not that your problem has
been solved. Please don't change it to FIXED, because nothing was changed in
GCC, there was no bug to fix.
