> I'm wondering why verify_ssa doesn't detect this. It does. See for instance pr 15740, which had generated an ICE.
But what I don't understand is why it didn't ICE in my case. That we don't constantly see problems is indicitive that the front-ends are good about using mark_addressable when needed, and so the TREE_ADDRESSABLE bit is reliable incoming to the gimplifier. Right, but there are a few cases where the gimplifier calls it itself and I suspect you're right that each are suspect.
