Description
Hello everybody,
I am playing with Infer (commit May 14th 2025 #5e8c9) running on Ubuntu 20.04 and analyzing a medium/big size cpp project.
I am running the pulse checker, and inspecting all the null pointer violations.
I noticed many false positive caused by the use in my code of the **glog logging** library.
Below I isolated a tiny cpp program triggering a **null reference** false positive alarm when printing with std::cout.
-- Is it possible to instruct the analyzer about the behavior of the glog library?
I tried _pulse-model-return-nonnull-list_ and _pulse-model-abort_ but I suspect the problem is more complex than that.
Please any advice is very appreciated. Thank you.
```
#include
#include
int infer(int c) {
int a = 10;
int* p = nullptr;
if (c > 0) {
p = &a;
}
CHECK(p!=NULL);
std::cout << *p << std::endl;
return 0;
}
```
