This error occurs in two similar cases.
1) The analyzer found a potential error: a pointer to bool type is assigned false value. It is highly probable that the pointer dereferencing operation is missing. For example:
float Get(bool *retStatus) { ... if (retStatus != nullptr) retStatus = false; ... }
The '*' operator is missing in this code. The operation of nulling the retStatus pointer will be performed instead of status return. This is the correct code:
if (retStatus != nullptr) *retStatus = false;
2) The analyzer found a potential error: a pointer referring to the char/wchar_t type is assigned value '\0' or L'\0'. It is highly probable that the pointer dereferencing operation is missing. For example:
char *cp; ... cp = '\0';
This is the correct code:
char *cp; ... *cp = '\0';
