The analysers don't complain because a multiply can overflow.

They complain because the code indicates that a larger result is
expected, for example uint64_t = uint32_t * uint32_t. They would not
complain for the same multiplication if it were assigned to a uint32_t.

So there is a simple solution to write the code in a way which avoids
false positives...
