--- Comment #3 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> --- And, to answer myself whether the middle-end does care about the METHOD_TYPE being correct, yes, it does, e.g. that type is stored in gimple_call_fntype on all the calls to such inherited base ctor, so it should be better correct. On the other side there are over 120 direct TYPE_ARG_TYPES uses and almost 30 FUNCTION_FIRST_USER_PARMTYPE. Assuming inherited base ctor clones are only built post-instantiation, that could cut down many of those. Perhaps the FUNCTION_FIRST_USER_PARMTYPE macro could transparently return the FUNCTION_FIRST_USER_PARMTYPE for the ctor it is cloned from if used on inheriting base ctor, but a) is that correct/desirable in all cases b) what about the direct TYPE_ARG_TYPES uses.
