Message <Context> an array is being accessed outside the bounds specified for the array type. Description The compiler has detected an array access that is outside the bounds of the array. The array access might cause unpredictable behavior. Note that in C, an array is declared using the number of elements, but the first element has subscript 0. It is a common coding error to attempt to access the last element of an array of "n" elements using a subscript of "n" instead of "n - 1". However, there are two common practices that intentionally employ out-of-bounds subscripts to useful/correct effects that are not reported by this message, but have separate optional messages. First, taking the address of an array element that is exactly one beyond the last element of an array is completely valid in standard C as long as the address is not used to access memory. The optional subscrbounds2 message can be enabled to report taking the address of the array element exactly one beyond the last element. Second, it is a somewhat common practice to declare the last member of a struct as an array with one element, and then allocate such structs at runtime with different sizes, recording the actual size in an earlier member of the struct. The optional subscrbounds1 message can be enabled to report subscripts greater than zero applied to arrays declared with only one element. User Action Specify an array subscript that is within the bounds of the array type.
