            Bug ID: 23551
           Summary: Incorrect taint of arrays / pointers
           Product: clang
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: Static Analyzer
          Assignee: kremenek at apple.com
          Reporter: svadim94 at gmail.com
                CC: llvmbugs at cs.uiuc.edu
    Classification: Unclassified

There are problems in GenericTaintChecker.cpp checker:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    char buf[256];
    scanf("%s", buf);
    FILE *f = fopen(buf, "r"); // buf is tainted but no warnings generate
}

However in other situation checker works properly:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    char buf[256];
    scanf("%s", buf);
    FILE *f = fopen((char *)buf[0], "r"); // Warning: tainted!
}

Buuut:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    char buf[256];
    scanf("%s", buf);
    FILE *f = fopen((char *)buf[1], "r"); // Not working again!
}

Any ideas, except for taint pointers itself? :)
