The Xen sources contain violations of MISRA C:2012 Rule 13.1 whose headline states: "Initializer lists shall not contain persistent side effects".
The file properties.json containing function and macro properties is introduced, as stated in v2 discussion. Some functions and macros are found to have properties that can be exploited by static analyzers. For this reason, the file docs/properties.json contains all the needed properties. A description of the json file is documented in docs/properties.rst. Some persistent effects have been moved outside initializer lists to address violations of Rule 13.1.
