Subject: disable array bounds overflow warning for cases where an array
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9e6a1caf18565849cc7bec265bcb0b8af4e1d93a;p=clang

disable array bounds overflow warning for cases where an array
has a single element.  This disables the warning in cases where
there is a clear bug, but this is really rare (who uses arrays
with one element?) and it also silences a large class of false
positive issues with C89 code that is using tail padding in structs.

A better version of this patch would detect when an array is in
a tail position in a struct, but at least patch fixes the huge
false positives that are hitting postgres and other code.
