Otherwise the patch looks ok to me. > Unfortunately, when I was bootstrapping a modified patch without the NULL test on x86_64, it segfaulted. The reason is that expand_debug_expr calls set_mem_attributes_minus_bitpos and in t passes MEM[(struct basic_stringbuf *)&__s._M_stringbuf]._M_string which might be OK for debug statements, I don't really know. Even though I guess it might wreck havoc in address spaces in debug info, for now I'm reverting to the original patch from comment #17 for the purposes of this PR. Perhaps get_base_address misses a DECL_P in the condition looking into MEM_REFs?
