It's as you want, the only thing is that I don't want to be the one having
to validate these reports. I accepted to try it by being strongly encouraged
while already convinced of the huge amount of false positives to expect, and
the first report I looked at was filled with 20 false positives among the
first 20 issues, so I stopped looking at it. It already takes a lot of time
to work on real bugs, working on fake ones imagined by a tool which doesn't
know how the code is used is even worse because it's demotivating. So this
is the limit I'm setting.

OK. In addition, I really want to have in the commit messages an analysis
of the real world cases where these bugs might trigger, because either they
are possible and we should document it to help people facing these issues,
or they can't happen and we're just sabottaging the code to silence a tool
and this is not acceptable.

Thanks!
Willy
