That's okay, because the gimple statements were just generated during 
gimplification.

Yes, sorry, you're right.  It's the lowering of bind expressions that 
tacks blocks to statements.

The point is, there shouldn't be any expressions left after gimplification 
that would receive locations/blocks.  Every side-effect of computing an 
expression should be a separate gimple statement.  The only exception 
should be loads for arguments of call and asm statements statements and 
there setting the location of those expressions to the one of the call 
statement itself is superfluous.

No, we should not.  Basically the thing to keep in mind is that the 
location/block of expressions after gimplification is supposed to be 
meaningless.  The gimple statements are the anchors for locations.  
Everything should be made to work in this model, not by tacking locations 
to expression.  But see below...

Hmm, I asked about specifics for this testcase.  Let me find out myself...
You're talking about this situation:

.LBB4:
   ....
   # code for line 20
   ....A
.LBE4:
        .loc 1 22 0
        movq    -16(%rbp), %rax # key, tmp82
.LBB5:
   ....
   # code for line 22/23
   ....
.LBE5:
        movq    -16(%rbp), %rax # key, tmp83
.LBB6:
   ....
.LBE6

where the reload of 'key' is splitting the lexical block?  This comes from

_10 = key_3->rulesToParseHdl;

Where the MEM_REF of *key_3 does have a location (hence locus), but no 
block associated:

(gdb) p expand_location(((tree)0x7ffff62252d0)->exp.locus)
$12 = {file = 0x7fffffffe38e "blabla.C", line = 22, column = 29, data = 
0x0, sysp = false}

whereas the statement has the same location, but is associated with a 
block:

(gdb) p expand_location(curr_location )
$14 = {file = 0x7fffffffe38e "blabla.C", line = 22, column = 29,
  data = 0x7ffff60cf410, sysp = false}

This inconsistency is indeed generated by lower_stmt, which inserts  
the block into this locator for the statements, but not for operands.

The issue is that tree->RTL expand listens to what's stored in the 
EXPR_LOCATION, instead of taking the location info from curr_location 
(which itself comes from the currently expanded gimple statement).

The patch/hack below solves this, and probably also your problem.  It 
might introduce others, but I think we should work towards making this 
patch possible.  I.e. follow the above layed out model, that after 
gimplification locators are _only_ in gimple statements, nowhere else 
(though I'm not sure what to do about constructs that don't generate 
statements, like simple global data constructors).

I'm not sure how realistic reaching this goal for 4.8 is.  If it isn't 
then I fear something along the lines of your hack is necessary.


Ciao,
Michael.
