The warning RW.ROUTINE_NOT_EMITTED is basically a parser warning which is generated when some piece of code is not analyzed due to previous errors.

But the real glitch I think is here that actual error you should fix is generated later in the sequence.

So I would suggest fix other below Coverity and this should be resolved.

In my case I forgot to include a header file for system structure. So due to this error parser could not parse something which generated the : RW.ROUTINE_NOT_EMITTED warning.
