--- Comment #6 from Jan Hubicka <hubicka at ucw dot cz> --- OK, somewhat confusing on the testcase above is that j is defined, but C++ FE never consider it uses and thus never passes it to middle-end. The problem is that C++ FE chose to first assemble alias: #0 assemble_alias (decl=<var_decl 0x7ffff70401c8 i>, target= <identifier_node 0x7ffff7047c08 j>) at ../../gcc/varasm.c:5682 #1 0x0000000000ca94cc in rest_of_decl_compilation (decl=<var_decl 0x7ffff70401c8 i>, top_level=1, at_end=0) at ../../gcc/passes.c:205 #2 0x0000000000610745 in make_rtl_for_nonlocal_decl (decl=<var_decl 0x7ffff70401c8 i>, init=<tree 0x0>, asmspec=0x0) at ../../gcc/cp/decl.c:5909 #3 0x0000000000613173 in cp_finish_decl (decl=<var_decl 0x7ffff70401c8 i>, init= <tree 0x0>, init_const_expr_p=false, asmspec_tree=<tree 0x0>, flags=1) at ../../gcc/cp/decl.c:6480 #4 0x000000000073291d in cp_parser_init_declarator (parser=0x7ffff7048000, decl_specifiers=0x7fffffffe2f0, checks=0x0, function_definition_allowed_p=true, member_p=false, declares_class_or_enum=0, function_definition_p=0x7fffffffe37f, maybe_range_for_decl=0x0) at ../../gcc/cp/parser.c:16804 #5 0x0000000000729785 in cp_parser_simple_declaration (parser=0x7ffff7048000, function_definition_allowed_p=true, maybe_range_for_decl=0x0) at ../../gcc/cp/parser.c:11195 #6 0x0000000000729573 in cp_parser_block_declaration (parser=0x7ffff7048000, statement_p= false) at ../../gcc/cp/parser.c:11076 #7 0x00000000007292ee in cp_parser_declaration (parser=0x7ffff7048000) at ../../gcc/cp/parser.c:10973 #8 0x0000000000728e68 in cp_parser_declaration_seq_opt (parser=0x7ffff7048000) at ../../gcc/cp/parser.c:10859 #9 0x000000000071cfdd in cp_parser_translation_unit (parser=0x7ffff7048000) at ../../gcc/cp/parser.c:4018 #10 0x00000000007519b4 in c_parse_file () at ../../gcc/cp/parser.c:31322 #11 0x00000000008b5e5d in c_common_parse_file () at ../../gcc/c-family/c-opts.c:1056 #12 0x0000000000daf45f in compile_file () at ../../gcc/toplev.c:547 #13 0x0000000000db14da in do_compile () at ../../gcc/toplev.c:1887 #14 0x0000000000db1649 in toplev_main (argc=3, argv=0x7fffffffe6a8) at ../../gcc/toplev.c:1963 #15 0x000000000155cb50 in main (argc=3, argv=0x7fffffffe6a8) at ../../gcc/main.c:36 and then finalize variable #0 varpool_finalize_decl (decl=<var_decl 0x7ffff70401c8 i>) at ../../gcc/cgraphunit.c:824 #1 0x0000000000ca96ca in rest_of_decl_compilation (decl=<var_decl 0x7ffff70401c8 i>, top_level=1, at_end=0) at ../../gcc/passes.c:238 #2 0x0000000000610745 in make_rtl_for_nonlocal_decl (decl=<var_decl 0x7ffff70401c8 i>, init=<tree 0x0>, asmspec=0x0) at ../../gcc/cp/decl.c:5909 It should do just one of these.
