sparse only see the (deatils of) the function it analyses and all
visible declarations, nothing more.

It would be more a job for smatch which do global analysis.
But to identify such subtractions yu must already have a (good)
pointer alias analysis which I don't think smatch do (but I can
be wrong, Dan & smatch's ml added in CC).
