This adds a regression test to make sure that directly dereferencing a
returned NULL pointer issues a warning.
This has been asked on Stack Overflow:

Cppcheck 1.89 does not warn for such a code, but 1.90 dev does. So it
is a good idea to make sure it is detected in the future too I guess.
Add some more tests for rule 10.1. They are given as examples in the
MISRA document. The 10.1 test that causes a false positive for 10.6 can be
found under the 10.6 tests.
Track ticket for false positive:

Trac ticket for the false negative:

* cert.py: Add ENV33-C-EX1 exception
ENV33-C-EX1: It is permissible to call system() with a null pointer
argument to determine the presence of a command processor for the
system. [1]

* Handle different null-pointer constants
Format-string arguments are now marked to have `in` direction, except
for `scan`-functions (like `scanf`) where these arguments are explicitly
marked to have `out` direction.
Yesterday, I observed that some client with a wrong jobs setting
(only "-j") requested one package after another and always uploaded
results where it only said that the argument "-j" is invalid for
Cppcheck.
This check should avoid such cases where results are overwritten with
useless data and the server is kept busy for nothing.
* cppcheck.cpp: Check for JSON error when parsing addon .json files
This fixes that errors in JSON files given via `--addon=*.json` are
silently ignored and maybe only a part of the JSON file is used.
Now the error message which picojson can return is checked and a
corresponding error message is returned again by getAddonInfo().
* naming.json: Fix missing comma
* CLI: Fix naming violations detected by addon naming.py via naming.json
* Addon naming: Add argument for validating names of constants
* LIB: Rename functions/variables so they are valid, loosen naming rules
* GUI: Fix naming violations
The invalid code in Trac tickets #8750, #8753, #8756, #8762, #8764
and #8765 previously crashed cppcheck. Now it throws a syntax error
instead. Add some tests for these tickets.
The unused argument causes the new check for rule 2.7 to output an error
here.
I verified that the regression test still works without the unused
argument (misra.py would still crash).
Travis should be happy again.
* Add check for MISRA-C 2012 Rule 2.7 and test cases.
* Cast unused function parameters of some test patterns to "void".
* Fix function parameter void cast in "misra_17_6". Add comment to "misra_11_7_extra" to make all function parameter void casts look alike.
