--- Comment #33 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Something like the following might be a testcase, needs -fno-tree-sra but it fails to demonstrate the particular sub-field layout for Y. struct X { int *p; int *q; }; struct Y { struct X a; struct { unsigned pad : 1; struct X b; } b; }; static int i, j, k, l; int foo (int c) { struct Y y; y.b.b.p = &i; y.b.b.q = &j; char *p = (char *)&y; struct X z; z = *(struct X *)(p + sizeof (struct X) + sizeof (unsigned)); return *z.q; } so no nice small testcase for now.
