This is the first of a series of enabling patches to make POINTER_PLUS_EXPR not forcefully take a sizetype offset (I'm still no 100% what requirements I will end up implementing, but the first goal is to have less TYPE_IS_SIZETYPE types).
This patch removes the (T *)index +p (int)PTR -> PTR +p index folding. We shouldn't change what the user specified as the pointer base as we can't be sure we don't mess up here, considering int foo(int *p, uintptr_t o) { return *((uintptr_t)p + (int *)o); } int main () { int res = 0; return foo((int *)0, (uintptr_t)&res); } if the o argument in foo is really the offset then the C code is invoking undefined behavior as you may not do anything with an integer which you converted to a pointer other than converting it back. Bootstrapped and tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. Richard. 2011-07-07 Richard Guenther <rguent...@suse.de> * fold-const.c (fold_binary_loc): Remove index +p PTR -> PTR +p index folding.
