Re:Clang is better than GCC by hddqsb on Monday November 28, 2022 @03:11AM (#33770994)
The post has been updated, but the original version (https://web.archive.org/web/20221127072237/https://yurichev....) had a second bug:

    struct tmp* m_result_original=...;
    struct tmp* m_result_my_version=...;
    ... memcmp(&m_result_original, &m_result_my_version, ...)
The `&` must be dropped in the call to memcmp (which the author did in the current version).

Ironically, GCC 12.2 warns about this error while clang doesn't :)

The warning message produced by GCC is "'memcmp(...)' specified bound 12 exceeds source size 8 [-Wstringop-overread]", and it is printed even without -Wall, but only when the third argument is `sizeof(struct tmp)` rather than `sizeof(struct tmp)!=0`.

But as @Stratoscope pointed out, memcmp() is still problematic if the struct has padding.
