--- Comment #1 from Jan Hubicka <hubicka at gcc dot gnu.org> --- This is (probably bit preliminary) optimization in tree-ssa-structalias.c: /* Create constraints for the builtin call T. Return true if the call was handled, otherwise false. */ static bool find_func_aliases_for_builtin_call (struct function *fn, gcall *t) { tree fndecl = gimple_call_fndecl (t); auto_vec<ce_s, 2> lhsc; auto_vec<ce_s, 4> rhsc; varinfo_t fi; if (gimple_call_builtin_p (t, BUILT_IN_NORMAL)) /* ??? All builtins that are handled here need to be handled in the alias-oracle query functions explicitly! */ switch (DECL_FUNCTION_CODE (fndecl)) { /* All the following functions return a pointer to the same object as their first argument points to. The functions do not add to the ESCAPED solution. The functions make the first argument pointed to memory point to what the second argument pointed to memory points to. */ as ??? is saying the function does not bother to build proper USE/CLOBBER points-to sets and relies on tree-ssa-alias checking the right thing.
