Now with that being said, I have had an other colleague of mine complain about a report, as he didn't see that the note message said "pointee" not "pointer", so maybe there's a point in trying to come up with a better message.

Hmm, that's one way of thinking, but I think it's more beneficial to check pointers too. I'll take a look at some results and try to get back to you with some stats to support my view on this issue :) Repository: rC Clang https://reviews.llvm.org/D45532 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
