        <pre>Not sure anything can be done about this.  If there exists guidance for what
constitutes a false positive, it would be great if someone could point it to
me.  I am running scan-build against libc++ and do not want to spam the bug
database.

Anyway, scan-build flags this:

libcxx/include/memory:2622:9: warning: Use of memory after it is freed
        return __t;
        ^~~~~~~~~~

The code looks like this:
  _LIBCPP_INLINE_VISIBILITY pointer release() _NOEXCEPT
    {
        pointer __t = __ptr_.first();
        __ptr_.first() = pointer();
        return __t;
    }
It is a reasonable pattern, MSVC STL does basically the same thing.  The
standard says this:
20.8.1.2.5  N3797  [unique.ptr.single.modifiers]

pointer release() noexcept;
1 Postcondition: get() == nullptr.
2 Returns: The value get() had at the start of the call to release.

My env:
clang version 3.6.0 (trunk 217475)
Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix</pre>
