Descrizione
**Description of the false positive**
LGTM complains that the ``raise exc_val`` will raise a ``NoneType`` (which would be wrong indeed). However, the type is actually ``exc_val: Optional[BaseException]`` with a flag ``reraise_exc`` indicating whether ``exc_val`` is actually filled. The critical code section cannot be entered unless ``exc_val`` actually contains a valid value.
A simplified version of the code in question (unrelated parts removed) looks like this. Note that ``reraise_exc`` and ``exc_val`` are always set together.
```
reraise_exc = False
exc_type = exc_val = tb = ...
for callback in callbacks:
try:
if callback(exc_type, exc_val, tb):
reraise_exc = False
exc_type = exc_val = tb = None
except BaseException as exc:
reraise_exc = True
exc_type, exc_val, tb = type(exc), exc, exc.__traceback__
if reraise_exc:
raise exc_val
```
