The example hinges on the fact that pointers to objects that a managed by a container or smart pointer can be invalidated by operations on the container or smart pointer.
$ scan-build g++ -std=c++1z potential_ptr_invalidation.cpp
scan-build: Using 'local/tmp/clang/bin/clang' for static analysis
scan-build: Removing directory '/tmp/scan-build-2015-12-08-153923-8231-1' because it contains no reports.
scan-build: No bugs found.
