That is an odd position when -Wstringop-overflow also highly depends on the optimizer (and will frequently generate false positives!) but not only remains in GCC but is enabled by default (even without any -Wall/-Wextra).

Things like this are why its pays to compile your project with as many compilers as possible (as well as static analysis tools).

Don't forget asan and ubsan. That requires good unit teat coverage to work though.
