Hi, this patch makes the type system to be unchanged by flag_strict_aliasing. This is needed to prevent optimization loss in flag_strict_aliasing code where some !flag_strict_aliasing code put alias set 0 into a type (this happens in all cases I modified in my original patch). It is also necessary to validate ipa-icf and operand_equal_p transformations to be safe for code transitions !flag_strict_aliasing->flag_strict_aliasing that I wasn to do in the inliner.
This patch goes the opposite way than my previous attempt (and is short unlike the explanation ;). Instead of adding extra parameter to get_alias_set it makes get_alias_set do ignore flag_strict_aliasing. To make sure that no TBAA is used when !flag_strict_aliasing I can simply disable alias_set_subset_of and alias_sets_conflict_p which are the only way TBAA oracle can disambiguate items. Next there are cases where optimizations are disabled to keep TBAA right. I audited the code and found only function.c (that uses object_must_conflict for packing) and ipa-icf/fold-const. This patch updates objects_must_conflict_p, fold-const already check flag_strict_aliasing and I did not update ipa-icf because I would have to disable non-strict-aliasing path in the followup patch. I checked that there is no code difference with -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-ipa-icf with this patch on tramp3d and dealII Bootstrapped/regtested x86_64-linux and also lto-bootstraped. Looks OK? * alias.c (alias_set_subset_of, alias_sets_conflict_p, objects_must_conflict_p): Short circuit for !flag_strict_aliasing (get_alias_set): Remove flag_strict_aliasing check. (new_alias_set): Likewise.
