------- Comment #12 from rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org 2009-01-23 16:52 ------- this is placement-new related.
D.20941_8 = &ox ox = { } no-tbaa-pruning D.20941_8 = { ox } alias warning for D.20941_8 After alias: ox.D.20531.m_initialized = 0; D.20941_8 = (struct X *) &ox.D.20531.m_storage.dummy_.data[0]; D.20941_8->e_ = 0; ox.D.20531.m_initialized = 1; D.20946_10 = ox.D.20531.m_initialized; Before: ox.D.20531.m_initialized ={v} 0; <<<change_dynamic_type (struct X *) &ox.D.20531.m_storage.dummy_.data[0])>>> D.20941_8 = (struct X *) &ox.D.20531.m_storage.dummy_.data[0]; D.20941_8->e_ ={v} 0; ox.D.20531.m_initialized ={v} 1; D.20946_10 = ox.D.20531.m_initialized; so it looks like we do placement new on _parts_ of an object that continues to live over that placement new. Uh oh. Is this even legal? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38503
