[Bug tree-optimization/36400] New: points-to results wrong

["rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

In

struct barstruct { char const* some_string; };

void changethepointer(struct barstruct***);

void baz()
{
  struct barstruct bar1;
  struct barstruct* barptr = &bar1;
  struct barstruct** barptr2 = &barptr;
  changethepointer(&barptr2);
  barptr->some_string = "Everything OK";
}

the store to barptr->some_string is removed because points-to figures that
barptr points to bar1, which it doesn't necessarily do after the call to
changethepointer - it should point to anything.
