I looked into this and the definition of SUBREG_CHECK_PROMOTED_SIGN around line 2200 of gcc/rtl.h seems important. #define SUBREG_CHECK_PROMOTED_SIGN(RTX, SIGN) \ ((SIGN) == SRP_POINTER ? SUBREG_PROMOTED_GET (RTX) == SRP_POINTER \ : (SIGN) == SRP_SIGNED ? SUBREG_PROMOTED_SIGNED_P (RTX) \ : SUBREG_PROMOTED_UNSIGNED_P (RTX)) Leaving aside the side issue of ? : being right associative, so some () would help clarify, I notice that const int SRP_POINTER = -1; const int SRP_SIGNED = 0; const int SRP_UNSIGNED = 1; const int SRP_SIGNED_AND_UNSIGNED = 2; so it looks as if this bitfield unsigned unsigned_flag : 1; is being compared to SRP_POINTER. One possible fix might be to change the value of SRP_POINTER to 3 and see if the problem goes away. Clang certainly seems to be finding a problem, AFAIK.
