I think the problem is actually not testing properly if the value is a
register variable first.

A few lines before in gimplify.c:gimplify_modify_expr_rhs, we have:

            else if (is_gimple_reg_type (TREE_TYPE (*to_p)))
              /* Also don't force regs into memory.  */
              use_target = false;

However, is_gimple_reg_type merely looks if the type is an aggregate.
The test that c-typeck.c:c_mark_addressable uses tests C_DECL_REGISTER .

It appears we actually don't have any way to query from the
frontend-indenpendent code if we can mark something as
safely.
