[Bug tree-optimization/36084] New: not longer folding of (int[] *) &i[0] into &i

[pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org]

Testcase:
int f(int c)
{
  int i[] = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4};
  typedef int a[];
  a *b = (a*)&i[0];
  return (*b)[0];
}

--- CUT ---
We don't fold this into just return 0 with at least the C++ front-end.  I found
this while improving PR 26069 and it happens many times with the Fortran
front-end more than any other because of inlining and how arrays are done.
