Thanks for the explanations.

However, I think that if a compiler cannot feasibly check the code, it
is not a reason good enough for it to issue a warning.  Warnings should,
IMHO, be issued only when the compiler *can* analyze the code and the
analysis shows that it is buggy or dubious.

In the case in point, as far as I understand, the compiler expects me
to prove that I'm innocent, and until and unless I do that, it treats
my code as guilty.  I don't think it is a good attitude.
