            Bug ID: 25770
           Summary: Analyzer misses dangling reference
           Product: clang
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: Static Analyzer
          Assignee: kremenek at apple.com

Code demonstrating the bug

The code produces a temporary unique_ptr that is dereferenced to obtain a
const& to the managed heap allocated object. unique_ptr is destroyed, deletes
the object and the reference is left dangling.

$ scan-build g++ -std=c++1z dangling_ref.cpp 
scan-build: Using 'local/tmp/clang/bin/clang' for static analysis
scan-build: Removing directory '/tmp/scan-build-2015-12-08-145243-7071-1'
because it contains no reports.
scan-build: No bugs found.

Example taken from the talk "CppCon 2015: Herb Sutter "Writing Good C++14... By
Default" at 44:04 (a Microsoft static analysis tool was demonstrated that is
supposedly able to catch this bug)
