Maybe. But in this case LLVM did a right thing. The variable addressing was
through a restrict pointer.
Ah, gcc implements (on purpose?) a weak version of restrict, where it only
considers that 2 restrict pointers don't alias, whereas all other
compilers assume that restrict pointers don't alias other non-derived
pointers (see several PRs in bugzilla). I believe Richard recently added
code that would make implementing the strong version of restrict easier.
Maybe that's what is missing here?
