Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version|unknown |14.0 Keywords| |wrong-code CC| |hubicka at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comment #1 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> --- alias.c does /* See if the language has special handling for this type. */ set = lang_hooks.get_alias_set (t); if (set != -1) return set; /* There are no objects of FUNCTION_TYPE, so there's no point in using up an alias set for them. (There are, of course, pointers and references to functions, but that's different.) */ else if (TREE_CODE (t) == FUNCTION_TYPE || TREE_CODE (t) == METHOD_TYPE) set = 0; but when handling pointer-to-function we simply create a new alias-set for each distinct (according to TYPE_CANONICAL (TYPE_MAIN_VARIANT ()))) pointed-to type. It's going to be difficult to canonicalize return and argument types here, so the answer is probably tree.cc:maybe_canonicalize_argtypes and thus reflecting this in the TYPE_CANONICAL of the function type. Note this is also how we handle pointer to structure types, but as structures are real objects those already have TYPE_CANONICAL set up appropriately. So I wonder whether the C frontend doesn't need to do the same for FUNCTION_TYPEs rather than putting the burden on the middle-end here?
