Yes. But probably the patch needs to be substantially changed. And you should
check with Joseph whether he is happy with the additional complexity added.

Sorry, I don't have enough free time to do this. 

Also, I am not sure anymore that it is worth to add these checks to gcc, which
is not meant to be a static analysis tool or be used to build one. GCC FEs are
very limited in the kind of analysis they can make, and this seems to be on
purpose. It would be better to focus on scan-build
http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/scan-build.html or build a GPL static analyzer
on top of clang.
