This analysis approach looks promising in principle. I needed another moment
to become aware that it indicates pointer usage requirements
which can occasionally not be met (like in the mentioned function “imx_pd_bind”).
If the expression “x” would be split into accesses to data structure members,
the data processing can probably result in another desirable information display.
The pointer usages vary in affected function implementations (as usual).
Regards,
Markus
