Subject: [Bug c/96367] New: bogus format truncation error on armhf when building perf with gcc 10
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2020 12:43:00 +0000	[thread overview]

            Bug ID: 96367
           Summary: bogus format truncation error on armhf when building
                    perf with gcc 10
           Product: gcc
           Version: 10.2.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: andrea.righi at canonical dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

After moving to gcc-10 (in Ubuntu Groovy) we're getting an error during the
perf build (only on the armhf architecture) when compiling the Linux kernel:

      util/map.c:124:5: error: ‘%s’ directive output may be truncated writing
between 1 and 2147483645 bytes into a region of size 4096
[-Werror=format-truncation=]

Source code:

https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/groovy/tree/tools/perf/util/map.c?h=master-next#n117

Looking at the source code it seems to be a false positive: the snprintf()
should never exceed the size of 4096 as reported by the error (the new length
is checked immediately before calling snprintf).

Moreover, it is quite strange that we are getting this error only on armhf. At
least I'm expecting to get this error across all architectures and not just
armhf.

Do you think it's a bug or am I missing something obvious? Thanks!
