It turns out that gcc 7.2.1 (which I am currently on) also issues this
warning when -Wformat-overflow=2 is specified. There were two instances
in pcre2grep and three in pcregrep. I have put that warning into my
standard development setup now, and fixed both pcregrep and pcre2grep
with patches that are slightly different to yours. Thanks for the
report.
