--- Comment #12 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Anyway, such changes are a partial shift towards the model to update derived types which you said you don't want; it doesn't actually update them, but basically forces new types after the base type(s) is/are finalized. Another possibility might be simply in all the spots where we set TYPE_CANONICAL (t) = something; to add if (TYPE_STRUCTURAL_EQUALITY_P (TYPE_CANONICAL (t))) SET_TYPE_STRUCTURAL_EQUALITY (t); On the build_function_type it could be --- gcc/tree.cc.jj 2024-04-16 09:56:16.463008446 +0200 +++ gcc/tree.cc 2024-05-03 10:21:04.119086667 +0200 @@ -7511,17 +7511,25 @@ build_function_type (tree value_type, tr hashval_t hash = type_hash_canon_hash (t); t = type_hash_canon (hash, t); - /* Set up the canonical type. */ - any_structural_p = TYPE_STRUCTURAL_EQUALITY_P (value_type); - any_noncanonical_p = TYPE_CANONICAL (value_type) != value_type; - canon_argtypes = maybe_canonicalize_argtypes (arg_types, - &any_structural_p, - &any_noncanonical_p); - if (any_structural_p) - SET_TYPE_STRUCTURAL_EQUALITY (t); - else if (any_noncanonical_p) - TYPE_CANONICAL (t) = build_function_type (TYPE_CANONICAL (value_type), - canon_argtypes); + if (TYPE_CANONICAL (t) == t) + { + /* Set up the canonical type. */ + any_structural_p = TYPE_STRUCTURAL_EQUALITY_P (value_type); + any_noncanonical_p = TYPE_CANONICAL (value_type) != value_type; + canon_argtypes = maybe_canonicalize_argtypes (arg_types, + &any_structural_p, + &any_noncanonical_p); + if (any_structural_p) + SET_TYPE_STRUCTURAL_EQUALITY (t); + else if (any_noncanonical_p) + { + TYPE_CANONICAL (t) + = build_function_type (TYPE_CANONICAL (value_type), + canon_argtypes); + if (TYPE_STRUCTURAL_EQUALITY_P (TYPE_CANONICAL (t))) + SET_TYPE_STRUCTURAL_EQUALITY (t); + } + } if (!COMPLETE_TYPE_P (t)) layout_type (t);
