NoQ added a comment.

This patch adds a new core checker. I wouldn't be comfortable enabling it by 
default without a much more careful evaluation (than a single lit test). In 
particular, i'm worried about false positives due to constraint solving issues 
and our incorrect cast representation - it sounds like both of these may 
disproportionally affect this checker. I also still wonder about "intentional" 
use of signed overflows; it's likely that some developers would prefer to 
silence the check. At least we should have a rough idea about how loud it is.

Not necessarily a new checker but bug reports from this checker are already 
lacking a lot of information. In this new check both operands should be tracked 
with visitors. Also in other checks there's a bailout path that produces 
generic diagnostics ("the result... is undefined" without explaining why); we 
should probably silence those instead because it's clear that we can't explain 
what's going on.
