I was experimenting with -fanalyzer on gcc 10, and managed to get a null-pointer dereference reported in std::vector. But I'm not sure if my code has some mistake?
#include <vector>
class Bar
{
public:
explicit Bar()
{
}
int m_val;
};
int main()
{
std::vector<Bar> a;
std::vector<Bar> b(a);
static_cast<void>(b);
return 0;
}
It only fails with -O2 (or -O -O1 -O3)
g++-10 -fanalyzer TestVector.cpp -O2

g++-10 -fanalyzer TestVector.cpp -O0 compiles fine.
Removing m_val or the constructor from Bar also compile fine.
