For memset (and others) we can get diagnostics like:
struct stat { int x; };
void foo(struct stat *stamps) {
memset(stamps, 0, sizeof(stamps));
}
t.c:7:28: warning: 'memset' call operates on objects of type 'struct stat' while the size is based on a different type 'struct stat *' [-Wsizeof-pointer-memaccess]
memset(stamps, 0, sizeof(stamps));
~~~~~~ ^~~~~~
t.c:7:28: note: did you mean to dereference the argument to 'sizeof' (and multiply it by the number of elements)?
memset(stamps, 0, sizeof(stamps));
^~~~~~This patch adds support for the same class of warnings for bzero.
