            Bug ID: 52343
           Summary: No warning when dereferencing pointers within a
                    (fixed-size) array
           Product: clang
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: C
          Assignee: unassignedclangbugs at nondot.org

Consider the following two functions:

void foo() {
    int *as[2];
    *(as[0])=1;
}

void bar() {
    int i = 0;
    int *as[2];
    for(i=0;i<1;i++)
    {
        *(as[i])=i;
    }
}

for both of them, a warning should be issued about the dereferencing of an
uninitialized pointer. clang does not issue a warning on any of them when
compiling with -Wall.

See this on GodBolt: https://godbolt.org/z/e98GW679v

Related GCC bug (which does issue a warning for the first function):
