Yep. That's because we are totally confused about alignment :/
Martin, what we need to do is get expands idea of what alignment
it woudl assume for a handled_component_ref and compare that
to what it would say if we re-materialize the mem as a MEM_REF.
Unfortunately there isn't a function that you can use to mimic
expands behavior (that of the normal_inner_ref: case), the closest
would be to look for TYPE_PACKED or TYPE_ALIGN in addition to
what get_object_alignment gives us.
Thus something like
align = get_object_alignment (exp);
if (!TYPE_PACKED (TREE_TYPE (exp))
&& (TREE_CODE (exp) != COMPONENT_REF
|| !DECL_PACKED (TREE_OPERAND (exp, 1))))
align = MAX (TYPE_ALIGN (TREE_TYPE (exp)), align);
if (GET_MODE_ALIGNMENT (mode) > align)
return true;
but really the twisted maze of how we compute whether something
is misaligned during expansion should be cleaned up / factored
somehow, including eventually fixing misaligned indirect refs
for STRICT_ALIGNMENT targets ...
