I keep finding new warnings that static analysis tools emit that gcc can't,
but rarely do these new warnings get implemented in gcc.
Gcc developers seem keen to keep away from static analysis area.
If you push them, they say they are only a volunteer project.
Far more folks run compilers than static analysis tools, so popularising
new warnings would help the wider community.
In practice locally, I modify gcc compilers to also run static analysis tools.
Then developers can't avoid knowing more about their code.
