I agree the use may be acceptable (and it may not cause any direct
problems), but what it does do is cause a considerable increase to the
number of "errors" found by the IBM checker.

If we value the output of the IBM checker (and other such donated
products/services), it would be foolish to not adapt the solutions
presented by those tools.  Furthermore, Samba4 currently has shown
between 875 and 1117 issues (depending on the exact build) found by the
IBM checker.

My proposed patch attempts to eliminate over half of the checker
"errors".  Reducing the number of errors reported allows greater
attention to be paid to true errors/issues that occur by eliminating a
lot of the "cruft".

Sincerely,
Andrew Kroeger
