Have you seen this:

Yes, I tried -O3 too. What is the point of having that option if it doesn't do what it says it will?

Perhaps a stupid question:

You are using -O2 and -Warray-bounds at the same time?

35587 – -Warray-bounds does not work at all or does not find all trivial cases, and :works only with -O2 or -O3

See the first post for the man page info. -Warray-bounds is enabled by default with -Wall. Together with -O2 or -O3 or not. It doesn't catch at all. Try and see it for yourself. I am wondering why it is there if it doesn't work..!

Your post#1 suggests you need:

Code:
-O2 -Warray-bounds=2

No, I don't think so. I'm still scratching my head like you and the others.

Some web pages indicate that it works, others say that it doesn't.
