    Malcolm: Improvements to static analysis in the GCC 14 compiler

    Description:
    David Malcolm writes
    about some static-analyzer features that are coming in the GCC14
    release. Solving the halting problem? Obviously I'm kidding with the title here, but for GCC 14 I've
    implemented a new warning: -Wanalyzer-infinite-loop that's able to
    detect some simple cases of infinite loops. See also: this report
    from the 2023 GNU
    Tools Cauldron.
