Could you keep in mind that there is considerable interest in a

maybe even struct fields) that can be NULL and need to be checked
explictly prior to dereference? GCC would then warn if there is a path
on which the check is missing.
I don't have time at the moment to work on this, but it's on my
ever-growing TODO list. :)
There's a lot of overlap between this and the change which originally
set me down this path -- namely a pass which would warn about potential
null pointer dereference (with suitable knobs which allowed the user to
control things like the non-nullness of a load of a pointer from memory).
I'd like to get back to that work, but it's definitely not a 4.9 thing.
