[PATCH/RFC] Start to use VIEW_CONVERT_EXPR more and start to fix PR 26069


The problem with PR 26069 is that we removed address_of rtl which
removed a small set of optimizations which were done.
One example is:
int f(short a)
{
  unsigned short b = *(unsigned short*)&a;
  return b;
}
We don't really need to store a in memory to get the value from a.

What this patch is three things:
1) Add to fold_indirect_ref_1, folding of *(unsigned short*)&a into
   VIEW_CONVERT<unsigned short>a when the type sizes are the same and
   the aliasing sets are the same.
2) Have the gimplifier swap which side of a MODIFY_EXPR, the VIEW_CONVERT_EXPR
   is on.  This helps because otherwise a in "VIEW_CONVERT_EXPR<int> a = b;" needs
   to be addressable.
3) Fix a bug in tree-ssa-operands which does not mark a in "VIEW_CONVERT <int> a = b;"
   as addressable.

2 is important for the following testcase:
int f(short a)
{
  unsigned short b;
  *(short*)&b = a;
  return b;
}

If we don't have 2 here, then we lose and still make b addressable
and store it to the stack.

The one question I have about 1 is should we ignore the aliasing set and always
do this transformation even though we know we turn undefined code into defined code?
Right now I check the aliasing sets but I don't see there is a good reason to.

This is only a small step in getting PR 26069 fixed because that bug has different
sizes when dealing with the types.

OK for the mainline (yes the testcases above are a regression from 3.4.0)?
Bootstrapped and tested on i686-linux-gnu.

Thanks,
Andrew Pinski

ChangeLog:
	* fold-const.c (fold_indirect_ref_to_vce): New function.
	(fold_indirect_ref_1): Use it.
	* gimplify.c (gimplify_modify_expr): Fold the indirect ref in lhs.
	If we have a VIEW_CONVERT_EXPR on the lhs, try to move it to the
	rhs.
	* tree-ssa-operands (get_expr_operands <case VIEW_CONVERT_EXPR>):
	If the flags include opf_is_def, mark the first operand as addressable.
