            Bug ID: 95149
           Summary: lex.c:1729:8: warning: result of comparison against a
                    string literal is unspecified (use an explicit string
                    comparison function instead) [-Wstring-compare]
           Product: gcc
           Version: 11.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: marxin at gcc dot gnu.org
                CC: jason at gcc dot gnu.org, nathan at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

I see the following Clang warnings for lex.c. It comes from:

1729:         BUF_APPEND ("\\", 1);

#define BUF_APPEND(STR,LEN)                                     \
      do {                                                      \
        bufring_append (pfile, (const uchar *)(STR), (LEN),     \
                        &first_buff, &last_buff);               \
        total_len += (LEN);                                     \
        if (__builtin_expect (temp_buffer_len < 17, 0)          \
            && (const uchar *)(STR) != base                     \
            && (LEN) <= 2)                                      \
          {                                                     \
            memcpy (temp_buffer + temp_buffer_len,              \
                    (const uchar *)(STR), (LEN));               \
            temp_buffer_len += (LEN);                           \
          }                                                     \
      } while (0)

If I see correctly the problematic comparison is '(const uchar *)(STR) != base'
which is really a comparison in between a string literal and a local variable.

And?
It is unspecified if "foo" == "foo", not whether "foo" can compare equal to an
automatic variable (it can't).

--- Comment #2 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
With string merging even "foobar" + 3 == "bar" (or not, depending on alignment
decision, how hard does the linker optimize etc.).  For static vars only if
-fmerge-all-constants and the var would be const and contain the same chars.

--- Comment #3 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
The code here is correct.  In that the warning might be valid for normal code
but the comparasion it is making is valid one.
Mainly because we do:
              /* Restore backslash followed by newline.  */
              BUF_APPEND (base, cur - base);
              base = cur;
              BUF_APPEND ("\\", 1);
