--- Comment #1 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Confirmed. Note the warning message is correct; just confusing and does not
mention a null pointer here.

Reduced further:
struct Foo
{
   unsigned int a;
   char bar[1024];
};
void setFoo(const char * value)
{
   struct Foo * ptr = 0;
   __builtin_strcpy(ptr->bar, value);
}


---- CUT ---
Since the offset for the character array is non-zero, we see a non-zero
constant and (based on other settings) assume it is the null pointer page and
we get a size of 0 (which is ok) but don't mention a null pointer.

There might be other dups of this but I am not going to search for it right
now.
