New test case exhibits same problem.

struct demo {
    int s;
};

extern struct demo * const *xd;

static inline struct demo *fn1(void) __attribute__((pure));
static inline struct demo *fn1(void)
{
struct demo {
    int s;
};

extern struct demo * const *xd;

static inline struct demo *fn1(void) __attribute__((pure));
static inline struct demo *fn1(void)
{
    struct demo **d;
    return *xd;
}


unsigned long foo() {
    unsigned long old = 0;
    old = (fn1()->s) & (((1UL << (8))-1) << 0);
    (fn1()->s) -= old;
    return old;
}

Here's how the generated code looks like, note the branch to self.

Specifying language as "C" instead of C++ results in correct code generation.
