Full gcc version please.
Especially you need to check if your gcc10 is the latest release.

If newer gcc (12.2.1) tested without such error, it may very possible to
be a false alert.

And in fact it is.

@first_dir_index would only be assigned to @last_range_start if
last_range_end != 0.

Thus the loop must have to be executed once, and @last_range_start won't
be zero.

Please do check your environment (especially your gcc version and
backports), before sending such trivial patches.
Under most cases, it helps nobody.

Thanks,
Qu
