Hmm, I noticed this in ipa-icf context and wrote checker that two functions are ABI
compatile (did not pushed it out yet), but of course this is nastier.
I think the problem exists before my patch with LTO - it is just matter of
doing two types which will be considered equivalent by
gimple_canonical_types_compatible_p but have different type conversion. An
example of such type would be:
struct a {
int a[4];
};
struct b {
int a[4];
} __attribute__ ((__aligned__(16)));
I tried to turn this into an testcase, the problem is that I don't know of a way
to obtain VIEW_CONVERT_EXPR between the two types out of C or C++ frontend and we
don't seem to synthetize these in middle end (even in cases it would make sense).
I will try to play with it more - would be nice to have a C reproducer.
We may be safe before my patch from wrong code issues if there is no way to
rpduce VIEW_CONVERT_EXPR between types like this in languages that support
aligned attribute.
I think the problem is generally similar to memory references - the gimple type
compatibility should not be tied to ABI details. Probably most consistent
solution would be to extend GIMPLE_CALL to also list types of parameters and do
not rely on whatever type the operand have....
Richard, any ideas?
