Mark all pointers that "may be outside bounds" as a finding?

1 view (last 30 days)
I have a lot of "illegally dereferenced pointer" findings. They tend to be hard to track down since the pointer may be dereferenced long after it is defined. Is there a way to make the Code Prover issue a finding (probably going to be an orange one) as soon as it sees that a pointer may be out of bounds? Here is some code to illustrate the issue:
static volatile int x;
int array[10] = {0};
int idx = x % 20;
int *p2 = &(array[idx]); /* hoovering over p2, Code Prover states that p2 may be out of bounds; there are no orange or red findings in this line, however */
/* here be lots of code, function calls,... */
int a = *p2; /* Orange finding: illegally dereferenced pointer */
