--- Comment #7 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Will change. While: /* PR tree-optimization/71872 */ struct __attribute__((may_alias)) S { int *a; }; int b; void foo (int *x, struct S *y) { int i; for (i = 0; i < 16; i++) { int *a = &b; if (*x) *(struct S *) y = *(struct S *) &a; } } doesn't ICE, it has: *y_7(D) = VIEW_CONVERT_EXPR<struct S>(&b); in the IL.
