Smatch complains that the error message isn't set in the caller: lib/test_objagg.c:923 test_hints_case2() error: uninitialized symbol 'errmsg'. This static checker warning only showed up after a recent refactoring but the bug dates back to when the code was originally added. This likely doesn't affect anything in real life.
