I've the following program:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int v[100];
int *p;
for (p = &(v[0]); p != &(v[100]); ++p)
if ((*p = getchar()) == EOF) {
--p;
break;
}
while (p != v)
putchar(*--p);
return 0;
}
And this is the output of gcc --version on the terminal:
Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1

Why getting the address of the element after the last of an array gives me no warning but getting for example the address of v[101] gives me the following warning
test.c:8:29: warning: array index 101 is past the end of the array (which
contains 100 elements) [-Warray-bounds]
for(p = &(v[0]); p != &(v[101]); ++p)
^ ~~~
test.c:5:5: note: array 'v' declared here
int v[100];
^
1 warning generated.
I know that indexing elements out of the bounds of a buffer is undefined behaviour, so why isn't the compiler complaining about the first case?
