False positive, apparently the numbers are hardcoded as:

88         msg[10 + 3 * 16] = ' '; // = 58<127

Why not just say 58 instead of the complex math?

89         msg[10 + 3 * 16 + 1 + 16] = '\0'; // = 75<127

Same here.   Why not 75 instead of the math formula?

Because that's done that way to make it easier to understand
the logic for the programmer. If a tool can't cope with it -
that tool is broken.
