Hi,
the patch below implements deducing aggregate contents from pointers
to constant variables for inlining and IPA-CP, which finally makes us
perform the optimization requested in
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2014-07/msg00240.html. It also lays down
the basis for doing optimization requested in PR 69708 but two
additional small patches are required for that.
This means we do not give up if we can't use AA to prove that
the memory in question has not been clobbered since invocation of the
function but only mark this fact in the indirect_call_info. Later on
we still use this information if we know that the parameter in
question points to a constant variable.
If this is deemed a god approach, we will probably want to add a
similar bit to inlining conditions.
Bootstrapped, lto-bootstrapped and tested on x86_64-linux. OK for
trunk?
Thanks,
Martin
