--- Comment #3 from Martin Sebor <msebor at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Good point! It never occurred to me. That explains why no compiler does it.
That suggests that the optimization opportunity is up to the user. I.e., a
class like std::string could optimize this case by adding a constraint/assert
that s->s doesn't point at s. Let me look into that.
