Dear maple-tree authors, dear Liam, dear Matthew, there are some Dead Stores that clang-analyzer reports: lib/maple_tree.c:2906:2: warning: Value stored to 'last' is never read [clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores] lib/maple_tree.c:2907:2: warning: Value stored to 'prev_min' is never read [clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores] I addressed these two cases, which were most obvious and clear to fix; see patch of this one-element series. Further, clang-analyzer reports more, which I did not address: lib/maple_tree.c:332:2: warning: Value stored to 'node' is never read [clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores] lib/maple_tree.c:337:2: warning: Value stored to 'node' is never read [clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores] Unclear to me if the tool is wrong or right in its analysis here for the two functions above. lib/maple_tree.c:1212:23: warning: Value stored to 'nodep' during its initialization is never read [clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores] A lot of pointer magic. Unclear to me if the tool is wrong or right in its analysis here. lib/maple_tree.c:5014:5: warning: Value stored to 'count' is never read [clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores] Unclear if the code is intended as it is now. In mas_anode_descend(), the variable count is really just assigned and used once effectively. The second assignment is never read. So, the variable count could just be removed in mas_anode_descend(). Maybe these further warnings are helpful to clean up the code or find an issue that was overlooked so far.
