Hi, PR 55264 is caused by cgraph machinery thinking it knows all calls to a virtual method when that is actually not true. As discussed with Honza, prior to inlining, we should not assume some virtual functions (namely those that are neither DECL_COMDAT nor DECL_EXTERNAL) are not reachable.
DECL_EXTERNAL however still affects the cgraph_node->local.local flag and so in order to avoid some LTO failures, I had to adjust IPA-CP to consider such virtual functions non-local so that verification of lattice propagation does not complain. I'm a bit puzzled by the value of the flag in this situation but at least it does not seem to cause any other problems. Below is a trunk patch to do all this. It does not apply to released versions which also suffer from the same problem so I'll prepare a special version(s) for them once this gets approved. Bootstrapped and tested on x86_64-linux. OK for trunk?
