To be honest, I don't want false-positive warnings. The code and data are
constructed so that it never frees the non-heap object (it has a reference
count of -1). If the driver to this warning can't be improved to be certain,
I'd recommend at least changing the text, like the -Wuninitialized one:

  'varname' may be used uninitialized in this function

When GCC warnings are assertive, like the "will break strict aliasing" one, we
go an extra mile to try and fix them.
