------- Comment #7 from rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org  2006-12-09 10:23 -------
I guess it may work to only change

  void allocate (void **, size_t, int *)

to

  void *allocate (void *, size_t, int *)

and use it like

  descriptor.data = allocate (descriptor.data, size, pstat)

the point is that aliasing needs a SSA_NAME def for the newly allocated
memory to assign it a unique alias set.  With the current interface we
get only a clobber of the descriptor.data (a VDEF) from which we cannot
do any alias set modification.

I believe this interface change could work without violating any parts
of the standard (as it really doesn't change semantics)?

(confirming this, the middle-end is really pessimized by the current
interface)
