Hi all,
As suggested in references, i'm able to get the target specific attributes from RTL in the following cases:
1. Through SYMBOL_REF_FLAGS and if it is a SYMBOL_REF RTL (symbol_ref: ...), direct variable
2. Through MEM_EXPR of MEM if its operand is not a SYMBOL_REF and a REG (mem:HI (reg:...)), indirect variable access
3. Through REG_EXPR of REG of a MEM and memory access is a first level pointer reference (mem:HI (reg:...)), indirect memory access

But, i'm not able to access target specific attribute from second level of indirection onwards.

For example,
int **gpi ;

variable_decl of 'gpi' is available during access of 'gpi' and '*gpi' and not during '**gpi'.

I have looked at existing ports for similar implementation of memory attributes but failed to find one.

Please point me a good resource for handling memory attributes.

Thanks in advance,
