<para>In the <literal>--debug</literal> output there are line feeds and
line numbers. But the newlines and line numbers are only there to make
the output easier to read. The real simplified code is written on a
single line:</para>
<para>In short, the simplified code is:</para>
<programlisting> void f ( ) { if ( p ) { free ( p ) ; } }</programlisting>
<para>Now we can use <literal>cppcheck --rule</literal> to develop a

<para>Now that the simplified code is known we can create a regular
