Point taken, thanks (though I'm not sure I understand why it would explore branches below an 'if (false)', but I definitely don't know the details). > (we also emit diagnostics on function bodies we do not > know are actually never called) I will not dispute that this is a hard job (I was just pointing that it sho= uld not impossible in that precise case). But it just emphasizes again that the *wording* is wrong. > warning: =E2=80=98void free(void*)=E2=80=99 called on unallocated object = =E2=80=98yyssa=E2=80=99 This is plain false. Free is provably *never* called with yyssa. The word= ing should stop being so affirmative, so that the users don't get the wrong impression. Cheers!=
