NoQ added a comment. Ok, got it! Yeah, this sounds like a valid way of supporting non-base-region-based worklist items, i'm seeing no problems with it and i don't immediately see a solution that'd be better than gradually supporting non-base-regions in more and more places.
Here's the slight modification of the original test case (D57230#1389766 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D57230#1389766>) that my problem finally boiled down to: typedef __typeof(sizeof(int)) size_t; void *malloc(size_t); struct S { int x; // Make sure ptr has a non-zero offset within baseR. int *ptr; }; struct T { struct S s; // This is baseR. }; void escape(struct S *); void foo() { struct T t; // This is realBaseR. t.s.ptr = malloc(sizeof(int)); escape(&t.s); } This happens because in this patch you're pin-pointing the value by trying to look it up via an exact binding key (up to default/direct), however it may also reside at a non-zero offset within `baseR`. In my case the offset was also symbolic - which kept me confused for a while because i was thinking that symbolic offsets are the root of all evil. I think you may be able to generalize the patch to cover this scenario by replacing the exact offset lookup with a `collectSubRegionBindings()` (it might be cute to make some sort of `iterSubRegionBindings()` that takes a lambda, and/or combine it with `iterBindings()`). I'm still worried about D57230#1434161 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D57230#1434161> though. It kinda sounds like a good idea to suppress store invalidation but not escaping, but it's a very annoying thing to implement because our invalidation traits are very inflexible. In order to express complex requirements like "please don't invalidate this region, except this sub-region", the whole data structure has to be changed. This is slightly similar to this problem we have in: void escape(int *x, const int *y); // ... escape(&a, &a); where the value of `a` would not be invalidated because `y` is a const pointer, even though it is passed through a non-const pointer `x`. @xazax.hun, do you have enough time/inspiration to dig that deeply into this stuff?
