I disagree: there are currently too many false positives.

For your particular problem, the bug is somewhere else: the undefined behavior
in --i for some value, and this is now detected by GCC:

ypig:~> gcc-4.9 -O2 -fstrict-overflow -c z.c
z.c: In function ‘main’:
z.c:4:11: warning: iteration 2147483648u invokes undefined behavior
[-Waggressive-loop-optimizations]
     while (--i)
           ^
z.c:4:11: note: containing loop
ypig:~> gcc-4.9 --version
