Not necessarily. You can't expect the compiler to detect and warn about more complex bugs the programmer writes, so you have to draw the line somewhere.
IMO missing some potential bugs is better than warning about code that isn't buggy since that just makes people ignore the warnings or carelessly try to silence them.
