One thing that is delaying smatch is that I'm cycling through Africa right now :P. The smatch web page is out of date. I gave up trying to ssh in and fix it from internet cafes, but now I'm in South Africa maybe it's possible.

The new link for smatch is: http://repo.or.cz/w/smatch.git/

One issue with printing an error after a dereference is that some macros do needless checking.

But it's easy enough to write a script for that. I don't have electric tonight but hopefully I will be able to post a script in a two or three days. I wrote a first draft of the script yesterday and it did find a bug.
