When pass the negative numbers, then there are two warning. In gcc-8 the
warning is checked by array-bounds, but in gcc-9 the warning is checked
by stringop-overflow.

I try to use you patch to check the gcc-9 toolchains, but it still have
the warning, but using below the patch can fix the warning in gcc-8 and
gcc-9.
