I think this has come up in the past, and while the code in question is overly complicated and confuses static checkers as well as humans, it looks correct to me.
Please make sure to verify the output of any tools before posting patches based on them.

I used cppcheck tool .

These are false positives as Johan said. Don't change the code just to make the static analysis tool happy, fix the tools instead.
Also the patch doesn't apply. Read the first paragraph of Documentation/process/email-clients.rst and figure out why it's not working.

Implied in Johan's question is a suggestion.
When you propose a patch that addresses something flagged by a tool of some kind, it is good practice to identify the tool in the patch description, and even better, give an example of how the tool was invoked when reported the problem you're fixing. Sometimes people even include the output of the tool, though I think that can sometimes be a bit much.
And as you have now heard several times, do not blindly trust the output of these tools. They're intended to call attention to things for you to examine; they are no match for a human, and things they tell you about are not guaranteed to be real problems.
