[Bug tree-optimization/21568] New: [3.4 regression] Casts in folding *& omitted

[rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org]

For the testcase

int x;
int foo(void)
{
        x = 0;
        return *(volatile int *)&x;
}

the tree-optimizers omit the volatile cast and cprop 0 to the
return statement which is invalid.  This is a regression from
3.4 where we produced (with -O)

foo:
        pushl   %ebp
        movl    %esp, %ebp
        movl    $0, x
        movl    x, %eax
        popl    %ebp
        ret

and now

foo:
        pushl   %ebp
        movl    %esp, %ebp
        movl    $0, x
        movl    $0, %eax
        popl    %ebp
        ret
