            Bug ID: 108628
           Summary: ASAN at -O3 misses a stack-use-after-return
           Product: gcc
           Version: 13.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: sanitizer
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: shaohua.li at inf dot ethz.ch
                CC: dodji at gcc dot gnu.org, dvyukov at gcc dot gnu.org,

  Target Milestone: ---

For the following code, ASAN at -O3 missed the stack-use-after-return, while
other opt levels detected it.

Clang at all opt levels can detect it.

int **b = &a;

  a = f;
}
void j() {

  for (; d; d++)

--- Comment #1 from Martin Liška <marxin at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
For this case, we propagate &(-1) which is quite a weird test-case.
