Thanks.  Could you add some tests that `nontemporal` directives aren't 
disturbed by either (1) nested `nontemporal` directives or (2) nested 
directives of some other kind?



================
Comment at: clang/lib/CodeGen/CGExpr.cpp:3952
+           CGM.getOpenMPRuntime().isNontemporalDecl(Field)) ||
+          (!E->isArrow() && BaseLV.isNontemporal()))
+        LV.setNontemporal(/*Value=*/true);

No, the base LValue we build in this case will not be related to the LValue for 
`a`; the pointer is loaded from that l-value, but its  properties do not 
propagate to the pointer, just like how `S * volatile s` doesn't mean that 
`s->x` is `volatile`.

I see, this is specifically part of the semantics that the field only becomes 
non-temporal for `this`.  Okay, I accept that part of the original condition.
