------- Comment #6 from rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org 2009-02-17 10:41 ------- This warning is only emitted if points-to analysis pruned the points-to set to empty. Thus, the pointer as far as PTA is concerned does not point to anything. On alias-improvements branch this results in stores and loads from it vanishing. On the trunk we fall back to pt_anything in this case.
Generally the warning hints at real problems, either in the compiler or in user code. There are known problems with boost and its interesting use of placement new (we still do not handle placement new properly). I will have a look here. -- rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AssignedTo|unassigned at gcc dot gnu |rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot |dot org |org Status|UNCONFIRMED |ASSIGNED Ever Confirmed|0 |1 Last reconfirmed|0000-00-00 00:00:00 |2009-02-17 10:41:14 date| | http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39207
