If c_update_type_canonical is only ever called for the main variants of the
type and they always have !TYPE_QUALS (t), then yes.
But if we rely on that, perhaps we should gcc_checking_assert that.
So
gcc_checking_assert (t == TYPE_MAIN_VARIANT (t) && !TYPE_QUALS (t));
or something similar at the start of the function.
Then we could also change the
for (tree x = TYPE_MAIN_VARIANT (t); x; x = TYPE_NEXT_VARIANT (x))
to
for (tree x = t; x; x = TYPE_NEXT_VARIANT (x))
and
if (TYPE_QUALS (x) == TYPE_QUALS (t))
...
to
if (!TYPE_QUALS (x))
TYPE_CANONICAL (x) = TYPE_CANONICAL (t);
else
build_qualified_type (TYPE_CANONICAL (t), TYPE_QUALS (x));
