When the check clang-analyzer-security.ArrayBound is enabled, for a forward 
declaration, or any incomplete types, it tries to calculate the offset, which 
is unknown, therefore can not be calculated, causing the assertion ElemType 
cannot be incomplete.

+- Fixed an assertion failure in the `alpha.security.ArrayBound` checker when 
analyzing incomplete types.

 #### Improvements
 
 - The lock-order-reversal check in ``alpha.unix.PthreadLock`` is now disabled 
by default.
