            Bug ID: 102692
           Summary: -Wanalyzer-null-dereference false alarm with (!p || q
                    || !p->next)
           Product: gcc
           Version: 11.2.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: analyzer

compile on x86-64 with "gcc -fanalyzer -O2 -S
analyzer-null-dereference-simple.i"

I ran into this problem when compiling GNU Emacs with gcc 11.2.1 20210728 (=
Red
Hat 11.2.1-1) on x86-64. Compile the attached simplified version with:

gcc -fanalyzer -O2 -S analyzer-null-dereference-simple.i

and the output will be as at the end of this description. This output is bo=
gus
since it complains that 'tail' might be null in (!tail || end < prev ||
!tail->next) which means that tail->next might dereference a null pointer. =
But
the tail->next expression is obviously unreachable if 'tail' is null.

Although this bug might be related to GCC bug 102671, I'm filing it separat=
ely
as it has a different feel.=
