------- Comment #4 from rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org 2009-02-02 10:24 ------- Nice testcase from PR38503:
inline void *operator new (__SIZE_TYPE__, void *__p) throw() { return __p; } struct Y { Y() {} int i; }; struct X { X() {} void construct(const Y& y) { new (&m_data[0]) Y(y); } template <class T> Y& get() { return reinterpret_cast<Y&>(m_data); } bool initialized; char m_data[sizeof (Y)]; }; X x; void bar(const X&); void foo(Y& y) { x.get<Y>() = y; x.initialized = true; bar(x); } we have to assume that any globally accessible decl has a different dynamic type than its declared type. Thus we may not apply TBAA to any ESCAPED symbol. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38964
