             Bug #: 55222
           Summary: weird unstable "array subscript is above array bounds"
                    warning
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: akim.demaille@gmail.com


The following piece of code is a reduced version of a parser generated by
Bison.  It triggers a new warning (which must be very recently added to 4.8, as
last week or so there were no such warning AFAICT).

One issue is that the warning looks like a certainty, "array subscript is above
array bounds", well, no it is not, and another is that if I remove the previous
line, which displays "yyi", then the warning disappears.  This is fishy (at
least to my eyes).


$ cat array.c
#include <stdio.h>

typedef unsigned char uint8;
typedef signed char int8;

/* YYR2[YYN] -- Number of symbols composing right hand side of rule YYN.  */
static const uint8 yyr2[] =
{
       0,     2,     0
};

/* YYPRHS[YYN] -- Index of the first RHS symbol of rule number YYN in
   YYRHS.  */
static const uint8 yyprhs[] =
{
       0,     0,     3
};

/* YYRHS -- A `-1'-separated list of the rules' RHS.  */
static const int8 yyrhs[] =
{
       4,     0,    -1,    -1
};

void
yy_reduce_print (int yyrule)
{
  int yyi;
  for (yyi = 0; yyi < yyr2[yyrule]; yyi++)
    {
      fprintf (stderr, "$%d = ", yyi);
      fprintf (stderr, "%d\n", yyrhs[yyprhs[yyrule] + yyi]);
    }
}
$ gcc-mp-4.8 -Wall -O3 array.c -c

       fprintf (stderr, "%d\n", yyrhs[yyprhs[yyrule] + yyi]);

It was a bug in 4.8.0 which has since been fixed.
