Ok

I don't know, it's like if the analyzer was lazy for this particular
case, although there is nothing much different from other usages.

If I replace:
for (... *var2 = (void *)true; var2;
with:
for (... *var2 = (void *)true; var2 || true;

then it doesn't warn..

Interestingly as well, if I change:
    for (... *var2 = (void *)true; var2; var2 = NULL)
for:
    for (... *var2 = GML_OBJ_(); var2; var2 = NULL)

GML_OBJ_() simply being &(GraphLockable) { }), an empty compound
literal, then it doesn't work, in all usages.

All in all, I am not sure the trick of using var2 is really reliable either.
