coverity Scan the Code Results

Locate the print(...) function shown in the issue and inspect its failure path around Coverity CID 5543771. Confirm why printed is checked after the allocation and cleanup branches, then run the repository's available tests or static analysis to verify the dead-code finding is resolved without changing normal cleanup behavior.
