Even this is not very diff-friendly (changing line numbers will cause diffs).

I recommend enabling suppression generation (--gen-suppressions=yes). Then you 
can filter anything that isn't between braces. Or even simply use suppression 
file(s), in which case if there is a new or changed callstack you will get new 
errors.
