We expand from foo (bool b) { struct Optional D.2251; unsigned char _7; <bb 2> [local count: 1073741824]: if (b_2(D) != 0) goto <bb 3>; [50.00%] else goto <bb 4>; [50.00%] <bb 3> [local count: 536870913]: D.2251.D.2152.value = 42; <bb 4> [local count: 1073741824]: # _7 = PHI <1(3), 0(2)> MEM <unsigned char> [(struct Optional *)&D.2251 + 4B] = _7; return D.2251; where the main issue is likely we fail to elide D.2251 because of the aggregate return (and us not exposing the ABI, etc.). Note above D.2251 is partly initialized which makes it a bit more difficult to optimize. SRA might try to handle these cases by rematerializing the aggregate just before the return. We can then hope for RTL expansion to do "magic".
