Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Component|middle-end |tree-optimization Severity|normal |enhancement --- Comment #4 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The original testcase is fixed in GCC 8+: <bb 2> [local count: 1073741825]: __builtin_memcpy (ch1_3(D), ch2_4(D), 1048576); _1 = MEM[(const char *)ch2_4(D) + 2B]; *ch1_3(D) = _1; MEM[(char *)ch1_3(D) + 1B] = _1; fre1 is able to figure this out but this is not exactly propagating aliasing info, just that the value of ch2[2] cannot change if ch1[0] is stored with the same value of what was in ch2[2]; memcpy is not needed to show that :). A better testcase which shows there is still a missing aliasing case: void foo3(char* ch1, char* ch2) { __builtin_memcpy(ch1, ch2, 1024*1024); ch1[0] = ch2[2] + 1; ch1[1] = ch2[2]; }
