[Bug tree-optimization/62006] Bad code generation with -O3 (possibly due to -ftree-partial-pre)

--- Comment #3 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
It looks ok what PRE does (it's not really a partial partial redundancy but
a full redundndancy).

The bug also reproduces with -O2 -ftree-partial-pre.  Disabling loop
optimizations and cddce2 hides the bug.

With PPRE enabled CDDCE2 removes the stores to D.46421.diff (again I see
nothing wrong with doing that).

Btw, this all happens in _M_range_initialize.  (-fno-strict-aliasing fixes
the bug as well).

Note that I see stores as OffPtrBase to automatic objects:

-  MEM[(struct OffPtrBase *)&D.46421].diff = _70;

and loads from OffPtr via this:

   _16 = &MEM[(struct OffPtr *)this_4(D)].D.43564;

or remaining stores:

   MEM[(struct OffPtrBase *)this_4(D) + 16B].diff = iftmp.15_41;

I also see:

   _74 = (sizetype) _47;
   iftmp.10_75 = &D.46429.D.43564 + _74;
   __last.3_77 = (long int) iftmp.10_75;
   __first.4_78 = (long int) &D.46430.D.43564;
   _79 = __last.3_77 - __first.4_78;

which effectively subtracts two unrelated addresses of automatic objects
(boooo - undefined behavior!)

I think the testcase is simply bogus.  Can you explain what the "fancy"
pointers
do?  Disabling points-to analysis also "fixes" the testcase.

Note that with points-to analysis you cannot reach any other object
with offsetting the address of an object.
