        <pre>For this code (unused.cpp):

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    int x = 1;
    int& ref = x;

    std::cout << ref << std::endl;
    x = 2;
    std::cout << ref << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

I get following output from scan-build:
unused.cpp:9:5: warning: Value stored to 'x' is never read
    x = 2;
    ^   ~
1 warning generated.

The value is obviously read, as second cout<<ref prints out 2, as expected.

My "clang++ --version":
Ubuntu clang version 3.5-1ubuntu1 (trunk) (based on LLVM 3.5)
Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix</pre>
