c++: -Wdangling-reference and system headers
I got this testcase: auto f() -> std::optional<std::string>; for (char c : f().value()) { } which has a dangling reference: std::optional<T>::value returns a reference to the contained value, but here it's the f() temporary. We warn, which is great, but only with -Wsystem-headers, because the function comes from a system header and warning_enabled_at used in do_warn_dangling_reference checks diagnostic_report_warnings_p, which in this case returned false so we didn't warn. Fixed as below. I could also override dc_warn_system_headers so that the warning is enabled in system headers always. With that, I found one issue in libstdc++: libstdc++-v3/include/bits/fs_path.h:1265:15: warning: possibly dangling reference to a temporary [-Wdangling-reference] 1265 | auto& __last = *--end(); | ^~~~~~ which looks like a true positive as well. gcc/cp/ChangeLog: * call.cc (maybe_warn_dangling_reference): Enable the warning in system headers if the decl isn't in a system header. gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog: * g++.dg/warn/Wdangling-reference4.C: New test.
