I have a small C++ code segment that produces an invalid warning about
unreachable code. It might be similar to #19354 but that bug is reported fixed
in 4.0.0, and indeed the example there works in my build.

If the lines are uncommented - the pointer is set to '9' so clearly the code is
being executed.
