[Bug tree-optimization/36343] [4.3/4.4 Regression] Wrong code due to bad TBAA pruning of points-to-sets and use in call clobbering

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

------- Comment #1 from rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org  2008-05-27 12:45 -------
If you investigate why this doesn't happen more often you find that
directly_dereferenced is only ever set if you dereference a pointer and the
result is also a pointer.  (Thus the complicated testcase)

In essence - we almost _never_ TBAA-prune the points-to-sets.

The correct solution is (apart from improving the TBAA-pruning) to use the
original points-to solution for computing the call-clobbered variables, not
the TBAA-pruned points-to set.

For 4.3 the easiest and least invasive solution is to rip out the
TBAA-pruning code completely.  This is also the temporary solution for the
mainline.
