scan-build thinks there’s a potential `NULL` pointer dereference of some
of the members of `msg->strings`, because it doesn’t know about the
implicit invariant that the length of `msg->strings` is
`msg->n_strings`.
Ideally we want an assertion like `g_assert (g_strv_length
(msg->strings) == msg->n_strings)`, but that’s not very performant, so
just settle for a non-`NULL` assertion on each loop iteration to give
scan-build the hint it needs.

scan-build thinks that `tmp` can be dereferenced before it’s all been
assigned to. I don’t think that’s the case, because the number of
elements in it which have been assigned to is tracked as `i`. But static
analysers find that kind of state tracking hard to reason about, so
let’s just zero-initialise the array to simplify things.

It’s very obviously a false positive, as `str` has been added to on the
previous line, so can’t be `(void *) 0`. Not sure what scan-build is
thinking.
I’d rather not have this assertion (it doesn’t help the programmer’s
understanding of the code), but I would also rather have scan-build
running with no warnings so that it can helpfully catch newly-introduced
errors in future.

See the code comment. scan-build can’t handle analysis over the
refcounts, so consistently complains about potential use-after-free
errors in the code, essentially because:
* It understands `name_unref()`, but completely ignores `name_ref()`
* The code often calls `name_unref()` on the ‘wrong’ pointer, in the
sense that it knows that if another struct exists, that struct holds
a ref on a `Name`, but without actually having a pointer to the
`Name`. So the code calls `name_unref (name); name_unref (name)`.
That’s valid, but quite understandably looks like a recipe for a
use-after-free.

scan-build thinks that there can be a `NULL` pointer dereference of
`error` here because it doesn’t understand that the function return
value and `GError` are related: when a valid return value is returned,
the error is `NULL` and vice-versa.
Try and make that clearer to the static analyser by checking whether the
error is `NULL`, rather than the return value.

scan-build thinks there could be a `NULL` pointer dereference of
`t->data` here. It’s wrong, so add an assertion to try and help it
understand the control flow.
The loop is exited as soon as a target is found whose weight is greater
than or equal to a random value between 0 and the sum of all the weights
in the set of remaining targets in the loop. By definition, the last
target in the loop always satisfies this condition, so a target will
always be chosen, and hence `t` will never be `NULL` within the loop.
`t->data` will never be `NULL` by construction of the target list.

with its free function.

transfer.

This avoids the need to ref/unref the closure while invalidating it in
the `closure->ref_count == 1` path in `g_closure_unref()`.
scan-build gets very confused about the ref count here, and ends up
assuming it’s possible for the `g_closure_unref()` call in
`g_closure_invalidate()` to finalise the closure when the latter is
called from `g_closure_unref()`. There was an existing assertion in
`g_closure_invalidate()` which hinted that this wasn’t possible, but
scan-build doesn’t seem to be able to propagate assumptions about
refcounts between function contexts.
So, introduce an internal variant of `g_closure_invalidate()` which can
skip modifying the closure’s refcount. It’s safe to invalidate the
closure without adding a ref when doing so from `g_closure_unref()` with
`closure->ref_count == 1` because at that point `g_closure_unref()`
holds the only remaining ref to the closure. So none of the invalidation
callbacks are allowed to unref it further.

scan-build was complaining that `dest_hostname` and `dest_protocol` were
used after being freed, which could potentially happen if the code is
built with `G_DISABLE_CHECKS`. This is a false positive, because the
state of types in the program should be the same regardless of whether
`G_DISABLE_CHECKS` is used.
However, the code did smell. If we are trying to free things and return
gracefully if the underlying socket address enumerator returns something
of the wrong type, why not free the rest of the function’s state, or
skip the invalid address and move on to the next one? Or if we are trying
to make an assertion, why bother freeing some temporary data at all?
This halfway house doesn’t make sense.
So turn the `g_return_val_if_fail()` into a full assertion.

scan-build was complaining that the `wc_buffer[old_n_wc]` in `cc =
COMBINING_CLASS (wc_buffer[old_n_wc])` could dereference memory off the
end of the initialised `wc_buffer` array. It came to this conclusion by
assuming that the result of `find_decomposition()` for one of the
`gunichar`s was a non-`NULL` empty string, so that iteration of the
decomposition loop didn’t append anything to `wc_buffer`.
I don’t think it’s possible for an iteration of the loop to *not* append
anything to `wc_buffer`. Unicode characters don’t decompose to nothing.
Indeed, the current code coverage for GLib says that the `if (n_wc > 0)`
branch is always taken, and at that point in the control flow, `n_wc <=
0` is never true.
So, add an assertion to check that progress is made (i.e. `n_wc` is
incremented by at least 1), and remove the unnecessary condition.

After a lot of loop unwinding, during which I think it might have lost
its knowledge that `cache->buffer != NULL` (from a prior check on line
765), scan-build seems to think that there can be a `NULL` pointer

scan-build thinks there can be a `NULL` pointer dereference in `while
((i = N_NODES (node->left)) != pos)`, if `node` is `NULL`.
`node` cannot be `NULL`, though, assuming the `n_nodes` member of each
node in the tree is an accurate count of the number of nodes beneath
that point. It controls the tree descent and avoids trying to descend
beneath a leaf.
A static analyser can’t know this though, so let’s add an assertion to
help.

scan-build thinks that it’s possible for `read_netlink_messages()` to
return `FALSE` and an unset error (or `TRUE` and a set error), and this
belief causes it to emit warnings for code which calls
`read_netlink_messages()`.
That’s not possible, but the function is written in such a way that
following the control flow would be hard for a static analyser. It would
have to work out that `retval` and `local_error == NULL` are identical
on all control flow branches.
Avoid the need for such complex analysis by eliminating `retval` and
just using `local_error` throughout.
This introduces no functional changes to the code.

The previous approach was to return a length as a `gssize`, with
negative values indicating failure. That works fine, but causes a lot of
signed/unsigned comparisons or assignments.
Tidy the code up by splitting success from length, returning success as
a boolean, and length as a `size_t*` out argument. This introduces no
functional changes, but does tidy the code up and fix some compiler
integer warnings.

This will become confusing when we start tracking the owner of a
well-known-name sender, and it's redundant anyway. Instead, track the
1 bit of data that we actually need: whether it's a well-known name.
Strictly speaking this too is redundant, because it's syntactically
derivable from the sender, but only via extra string operations.
A subsequent commit will add a data structure to keep track of the
owner of a well-known-name sender, at which point this boolean will
be replaced by the presence or absence of that data structure.

The names of these constants are chosen to be consistent with libdbus,

The define for g_utf8_next_char(p) includes a not needed final cast to
(char *). In fact, this cast has the adverse effect of causing a warning
if p is a (const char *) with gcc/clang compiler option -Wcast-qual.
So lets remove the not needed cast and add option -Werror=cast-qual
to glib/tests/utf8-pointer.c which uses g_utf8_next_char().
Now utf8-pointer.c compiles also with compiler option -Werror=cast-qual
and passes all tests.
