Hi all,

Recent versions of Clang are starting to optimize based on certain
pointers being known to be non-null.

For example, taking the address of a reference never results in null,
and the 'this' pointer can also never be null in a well-defined
context.

This means that the following code:

  if (this == NULL) {
    foo();
  }

could be optimized away.

They're adding warnings to catch these issues, and we'd like to clean
them up before rolling in the next Clang version in Chromium (see
crbug.com/381910). It's firing in the following places:

src/api.cc:1196:24
src/api.cc:1621:7
src/api.cc:2915:24
src/api.cc:2942:24
src/api.cc:2974:24
src/hydrogen-load-elimination.cc:28:9
src/spaces.h:932:26
src/spaces.h:934:9
v8/src/spaces.h:938:9

Some of these seem tricky to fix. Is anyone interested in helping out?

Thanks,
Hans
