Misleading warning "returning a dangling pointer" for output parameters

On
bool f(int **p) {
return true;
}
we diagnose warning: returning a dangling pointer [-Wlifetime] on the return statement. The warnings is supposed to be about p, which is considered an output parameter, but it can be quite confusing. The diagnostic should at least mention p and probably avoid the word returning.

This makes sense, thanks! I will create a better warning message for that.
