Bug ID: 62181
Summary: [C/C++] Expected new warning: "adding 'char' to a
string does not append to the string"
[-Wstring-plus-int]
Product: gcc
Version: 5.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: diagnostic
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: burnus at gcc dot gnu.org
CC: mpolacek at gcc dot gnu.org
CLANG warns for the following code, GCC doesn't (with the options tried):
foo.cc:4:24: warning: adding 'char' to a string does not append to the string
[-Wstring-plus-int]
const char *a = "aa" + 'a';
~~~~~^~~~~
foo.cc:4:24: note: use array indexing to silence this warning
const char *a = "aa" + 'a';
^
& [ ]
1 warning generated.
Interestingly, the warning does not trigger for integer literals - only for
single-character literals and for long/int/char returning functions. That's
probably because "abcd" + 1 is the pointer address shifted by one, i.e.
pointing to "bcd". One can also argue whether the note is helpful or not.
In the real-world code, the LHS was a string class and the conversion of "aa"
to the string class was missing such that the "operator+" wasn't triggered.
Test case, gives three warnings (and three notes) with CLANG:
#include <stdio.h>
char bar() {
return 1;
}
int foobar() {
return 1;
}
int main() {
const char *a = "aa" + 'c';
const char *b = "bb" + bar();
const char *c = "cc" + foobar();
printf("%s, %s, %s\n", a, b, c);
return 0;
}
