            Bug ID: 64805
           Summary: Specific use of __attribute ((always_inline)) breaks
                    MPX functionality with -fcheck-pointer-bounds -mmpx
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: christian.otterstad at gmail dot com

Using the latest git pull of GCC the following program fails to compile:

#include <stdio.h>

static inline void __attribute ((always_inline)) functionA(void)
{
        return;
}

static inline void __attribute ((always_inline)) functionB(void)
{
        functionA();
}

int test(void)
{
        functionB();

        return 0;
}


Attempt at compiling:

attribute_bug.c: In function 'functionB':
attribute_bug.c:18:1: error: Analyzed node has no reference to instrumented

This is rewritten from code found in glibc, in libc-start.c (it also fails to
compile with the same error).

This may be related to fixes resulting from bug 64363
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=64363 , as earlier versions of GCC
supporting -fcheck-pointer-bounds -mmpx do not feature this issue. However
since it is a bug of a different type I'm nevertheless opening a new bug for
this problem.

It appears gcc (GCC) 5.0.0 20150122 and up have this problem (latest version
tested: gcc (GCC) 5.0.0 20150126)

It appears that at least gcc (GCC) 5.0.0 20150107, gcc (GCC) 5.0.0 20150105,
gcc (GCC) 5.0.0 20141218 do not feature this bug.
