Note that at the moment gcc-13 (also 11 and 12) turns off the
 -Warray-bounds checks because of excessive false positives,
see 0da6e5fd6c37 ("gcc: disable '-Warray-bounds' for gcc-13 too").

I have not yet figured out what gcc-8 complains about,
but I assume that gcc-13 would find the same thing with
the check enabled.
