Comment 6 Alex Jia 2011-08-16 06:43:54 UTC
I haven't seen "Argument with 'nonnull' attribute passed null" bug(please see Comment 4 or attachment of Comment 3) in test report of ccc-analyzer again(please see Comment 5), so change the bug to VERIFIED status.

BTW, the above scan-build results base on libvirt upstream(one is Aug 4, the other is Aug 15).
