Result:      your nordugrid-arc-7.2.0/src/libs/data-staging/DataDeliveryRemoteComm.cpp:497:58: style: Condition 'cert.empty()' is always false [knownConditionTrueFalse]
     nordugrid-arc-7.2.0/src/libs/data-staging/DataDeliveryRemoteComm.cpp:497:42: note: Assuming that condition 'key.empty()' is not redundant
     nordugrid-arc-7.2.0/src/libs/data-staging/DataDeliveryRemoteComm.cpp:497:58: note: Condition 'cert.empty()' is always false
Explanation: The new warning is a false positive. If ProxyPath() is empty, `cert` is CertificatePath() and `key` is KeyPath(). These are independent values, so `key` can be non-empty while `cert` is empty, which means `cert.empty()` is not always false. The PR was meant only to refactor how library XML attributes are read, so this new warning suggests it changed how some library function configuration is loaded, and Cppcheck now evaluates these values wrongly.
