           Summary: -Warray-bounds false positive when a cast is involved
           Product: clang
           Version: trunk
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: C++
        AssignedTo: unassignedclangbugs at nondot.org
        ReportedBy: sean at rogue-research.com
                CC: llvmbugs at cs.uiuc.edu, dgregor at apple.com


Consider this C++:

int main (void)
{
    double foo[4096];
    ((char *)(foo))[(sizeof(foo)-1)] = '\0';

    return 0;
}

It outputs:

test.cp:4:12: warning: array index of '32767' indexes past the end of an array
(that contains 4096 elements) [-Warray-bounds]
        ((char *)(foo))[(sizeof(foo)-1)] = '\0';
                  ^      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's a false positive.  Note the cast to char*.

This is with clang version 3.0 (trunk 138577).
