            Bug ID: 15307
           Summary: Incorrect "Assigned value is always the same as the
                    existing value"
           Product: clang
           Version: 3.0
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: Static Analyzer
          Assignee: kremenek at apple.com
          Reporter: mwelinder at gmail.com
                CC: llvmbugs at cs.uiuc.edu
    Classification: Unclassified

It appears that the static analyzer doesn't understand C structure
copies.  The warning below would be correct without the "*a = *b;"
statement.

typedef struct {
  int x;
  int y;
} bar;

void
foo (bar *a, bar *b)
{
  int x;

  x = a->x;
  *a = *b;
  a->x = x;
}
