Re: Incorrect bitfield aliasing with Tree SSA


    Because we need to know which alias sets can be pointed to by a
    pointer to a containing structure?

But how does the type of the field enter into this?

    Only because nothing really uses it.  Remember that the RTL level uses
    alias set 0 here for these things (Or at least this is what Adam
    said).

He's wrong.  It's only used in very special circumstances for a reason
that might even be necessary any longer.
