           Summary: Dereference of undefined pointer value false positive
           Product: clang
           Version: trunk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: Static Analyzer

test case.

See attached file.

The pointer can never be undefined because i == MAX_FOO will evaluate to true
and the second part of the if statement will not be executed due to short
circuit evaluation.

But the analyzer makes a mistake in thinking there's a problem here:

test.c:26:34: warning: Dereference of undefined pointer value
                                if (i == MAX_FOO || foo_ptr->bar == 123)
