"Fix rate" is an interesting metric, but I don’t think it’s a good proxy for engineering value. When I see a false positive flagged by a compiler warning or static analyzer, sometimes I’ll fix it just because I’m not sure I want to turn off the rule. For example, I often use -Wunused-parameter with -Werror with Clang or GCC, and then just use (void)arg; to silence the false positives.
