2 lint questions

[Boyd Nation]

I have two questions bout lint:

1)  How does one prevent lint from issuing a warning message about possible
pointer alignment problems given the following line of code:

	x = (blivet *)malloc(sizeof(blivet));

given that everything is declared and defined correctly?


2)  Is there any way to get lint to detect a closed loop of code which can
never be called?  For example:

	void func1()
	{
	    if (some_condition)
		func2();
	    some_action();
	}

	void func2()
	{
	    some_other_action();
	    func1();
	}

where there are no other calls to func1 or func2.

I propose that the software be modified so that anyone posting angrily to
defend a group which may have been insulted must type the word "wolf" 1000
times before posting.  It would also be nice if real life worked this way.
