Gigi back-annotates the nodes of the Ada part of the front-end with information
about the layout of objects. This is used by the -gnatR? options for example.
I think this line is now obsolete because of:
/* Back-annotate Esize and Alignment of the object if not already
known. Note that we pick the values of the type, not those of
the object, to shield ourselves from low-level platform-dependent
adjustments like alignment promotion. This is both consistent with
all the treatment above, where alignment and size are set on the
type of the object and not on the object directly, and makes it
possible to support all confirming representation clauses. */
annotate_object (gnat_entity, TREE_TYPE (gnu_decl), gnu_object_size,
used_by_ref, false);

OK, thanks.
