I don't want to change APIs to make any static analysis tool happy. I used
Grammatech CodeSonar on RTEMS a few years ago and if we made it
happy, we would be very unhappy.

The best solution would be to figure out the Coverity modeling and
annotation.
Then we could teach it our memory allocators, internal locks, etc..  I have
a model
uploaded in our configuration but I admit to not having any confidence in
making
Scan do anything with it. I found this:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42197018/how-do-i-use-coverity-modelling-to-mark-a-method-as-non-returning

But that looks to modify the source. I don't want to do more than simple
annotation.
I don't want hacks like that in the real source.

I have an attempt at a model here (
https://git.rtems.org/rtems-testing/tree/coverity)
and have uploaded it.
