Description
**Description of the false positive**
LGTM detects an overflow of the static array but the tag is sized 5 (TAG_SIZE+1) with a MACRO definition of TAG_SIZE set at 4.
It should not detect an overflow. Maybe it can alert on a misleading code since " tag[TAG_SIZE] = '\0' " would have been semantically better.
