 <p>You can tell the analyzer that this path is unreachable by teaching it about your <a href = "annotations.html#custom_assertions" >custom assertion handlers</a>.</p>

 <p>The reason the analyzer often thinks that a pointer can be null is because the preceding code checked compared it against null. So if you are absolutely sure that it cannot be null, remove the preceding check and, preferably, add an assert as well. For example, in the code segment above, it will be sufficient to remove the <tt>if (!b)</tt> check. </p>

+<h4>Q: The analyzer assumes that the loop body is never entered, which can never happen in this code.</h4>

 <p>You can teach the analyzer facts about your code as well as document it by using asserts. In the contrived example above, the analyzer reports an error on the path which assumes that the loop is never entered. However, the owner of the code might know that the loop is always entered because the input parameter <tt>length</tt> is always greater than <tt>0</tt>. The false positive can be suppressed by asserting this knowledge, adding <tt>assert(length > 0)</tt> in the beginning of the function.</p>
