The comment is out of sync with the code. It's used in code that may be sending an arbitrary aggregate. Given that Dan asked to remove the call from tree-ssa-structalias.c, then we can take advantage and tighten the two predicates more. In ref_contains_indirect_ref: Rename to array_ref_contains_indirect_ref Add gcc_assert (TREE_CODE (ref) == ARRAY_REF) at the start. In ref_contains_array_ref: Leave the gcc_assert I proposed. That predicate is used for more than COMPONENT_REFs. The comment needs to be updated.
