[Bug tree-optimization/19633] New: local address incorrectly thought to escape

[rth at gcc dot gnu dot org]

struct S { int w, x, y, z; };
struct T { int r; struct S s; };
void bar (struct S, int);
void foo (int a, struct T b)
{
  struct S *c = 0;
  if (a)
    c = &b.s;
  bar (*c, a);
}


The call to bar appears to not be marked [tail-call] because b is marked
as a call-clobbered local variable.  Which IIRC means that the aliasing code
thinks that the address of b escapes.  Which is untrue -- no address escapes
from this function.
