I think that may_be_unaligned_p is just seriously out-dated ... shouldn't it be
sth like
get_object_alignment_1 (ref, &align, &bitpos);
if step * BITS_PER_UNIT + bitpos is misaligned
...
or rather all this may_be_unaligned_p stuff should be dropped and IVOPTs
should finally generate proper [TARGET_]MEM_REFs instead? That is,
we already handle aliasing fine:
ref = create_mem_ref (&bsi, TREE_TYPE (*use->op_p), &aff,
reference_alias_ptr_type (*use->op_p),
iv, base_hint, data->speed);
so just also handle alignment properly by passing down
get_object_alignment (*use->op_p) and in create_mem_ref_raw
do at the end do the
if (TYPE_MODE (type) != BLKmode
&& GET_MODE_ALIGNMENT (TYPE_MODE (type)) > align)
type = build_aligned_type (type, align);
for BLKmode we already look at TYPE_ALIGN and as we do not change
the access type(?) either the previous code was already wrong or it was
fine, so there is nothing to do.
So - if you want to give it a try...?

Richard.
