--- Comment #3 from Jordan Rose <jordan_rose at apple.com> ---
The analyzer is conservative about global variables, even static global
variables, and assumes that any function calls it sees could change the
variable. IPA mitigates this a bit, and there are techniques we could add to
figure out that a particular function does /not/ touch a global, but in the
general case it's an unsolvable problem. I don't think we're going to be able
to fix this any time soon.

Workaround: cache the results of the check in a local variable.
