> are suppression files ever actually used due to an actual false positive,

There used to be one in LuaJIT because it had an optimized string comparison that compared outside of the allocation (which is allowed by the OS as long as you don't cross a page boundary, which LuaJIT's allocation algorithm made sure it never did)

The suppression was removed in https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/commit/ff34b48ddd6f2b3bdd26... when the string hashing got a new implementation
