The lifetime of the object ends but this is just a value and GCC cannot distinguish for example between (uintptr_t)&candidates and &candidates (where "leaking" the former is obviously OK). It's similar to the issue with __builtin_object_size and &a.b[0] vs. &a - it's nothing we can fix. So diagnosing uses of the _address_ (rather than the pointed to storage) is going to have GCC generated false positives.=
