The checker could report false positives if pointer arithmetic was done on 
pointers to non-array data before pointer subtraction. Another problem is fixed 
that could cause false positive if members of the same structure but in 
different memory objects are subtracted.

Subject: [PATCH] [clang][analyzer] Improve PointerSubChecker

The checker could report false positives if pointer arithmetic was
done on pointers to non-array data before pointer subtraction.
Another problem is fixed that could cause false positive if members
of the same structure but in different memory objects are subtracted.
