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.
