Top Findings

Warning: Allocation result must be checked for NULL before use to prevent null pointer dereference.

assoc.c:59

Warning: Excessive nesting depth (>= 5 levels) detected. Deeply nested code is hard to read and maintain. Consider refactoring into separate functions.

assoc.c:204

Warning: Possible assignment ('=') used in conditional context instead of comparison ('=='). Verify intent. ×2

assoc.c:213 + 1 more

Warning: Variable declared without initialization. Uninitialized local variables contain indeterminate values, which can lead to undefined behavior.
