Thanks! I will take a look.
I would like to decide what to do with this approach. I can see
1) I can start explicitly tracking if type came from a declaration or was
detected dynamically
(by seeing a vtable write or constructor call). Currently we don't do the
second, but I would
like to understand if these make difference
2) The code in question first detect that a type in a given variable is fully
constructed and
then starts tracking it across function calls. If needed I can check if my
unwind stack contains
some additional constructors/destructors that may possibly be currently
destructing the type
if it is valid to call destructor and construct same type there again.
If one can there destruct the type and build completely different type, we
need updates elsewhere
in devirt machinery, too.
Thanks!
