--- Comment #26 from ibuclaw at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comparing the D and C++ trees side by side. At the point of `finish_function` for the ::vis() method, I see the following: D: type <record_type 0x7ffff6f91888 Visibility cxx-odr-p BLK C++: type <record_type 0x7ffff700aa80 Visibility cxx-odr-p type_5 DI When does TYPE_MODE get set, and why is it that value? Setting watchers in both language compilers... - C++/D: make_node() sets the memory to E_VOIDmode - C++/D: entrypoint to compute_record_type() sets BLKmode - D: returns early because all fields still have DECL_SIZE = null - C++: exit to compute_record_type() sets E_DImode In D, this is finish_aggregate_type() which calls compute_record_mode() before calling layout_decl() on all fields. This was not the Looking at history between 2022/06/10 .. 2022/06/24, I think we have a clear commit that introduced this wrong code/behaviour - r13-1104. The loop added in r13-1104 that sets DECL_SIZE on all fields was added after the call to compute_record_mode. Looks like this is the mistake, it should have been put before compute_record_mode. So then, I think we finally have a fix: --- a/gcc/d/types.cc +++ b/gcc/d/types.cc @@ -615,9 +615,6 @@ finish_aggregate_type (unsigned structsize, unsigned alignsize, tree type) SET_TYPE_ALIGN (type, alignsize * BITS_PER_UNIT); TYPE_PACKED (type) = (alignsize == 1); - /* Set the back-end type mode. */ - compute_record_mode (type); - /* Layout all fields now the type is complete. */ for (tree field = TYPE_FIELDS (type); field; field = DECL_CHAIN (field)) { @@ -662,6 +659,9 @@ finish_aggregate_type (unsigned structsize, unsigned alignsize, tree type) } } + /* Set the back-end type mode after all fields have had their size set. */ + compute_record_mode (type); + /* Fix up all forward-referenced variants of this aggregate type. */ for (tree t = TYPE_MAIN_VARIANT (type); t; t = TYPE_NEXT_VARIANT (t)) {
