We have added a new field (bool ptr_arith in struct tree_base) to

You have to explicitely add the streaming to tree-streamer-{in,out}.c
Thanks for this info. We have done the following:
(a) Added a field to tree_base in the file tree.h as follows:
unsigned ptr_arith : 1;
right after
ENUM_BITFIELD(tree_code) code : 16;
(b) Added the following code to function pack_ts_base_value_fields in
the file tree-streamer-out.c
bp_pack_value (bp, TREE_PTR_ARITH (expr), 1);
just after
bp_pack_value (bp, TREE_CODE (expr), 16);
Macro TREE_PTR_ARITH access the field pts_arith.
(c) Added the following code to function unpack_ts_base_value_fields in
the file tree-streamer-in.c
TREE_PTR_ARITH (expr) = (unsigned) bp_unpack_value (bp, 1);
right in the beginning.
We are getting the correct values in non-LTO mode of our pass. However,
the same code has values 0 in the LTO mode execution.
Is there anything else that we need to do? We briefly looked at the
functions in tree-streamer-{in,out}.c but could not guess if something
more needs to be done
No, that should be all. Though dependent on what trees the flags are on you
might want to change the tree compare function in lto.c as well.
Are you sure the trees survive until lto streaming?
The trees survive because all other fields show correct values. Only the
new flag remains 0.
Our flag is present in the tree unconditionally. We have written a pass
which sets this flag conditionally for a tree that involves a pointer
arithmetic (default value is 0).
Which comparison function are you referring to? There is a function
lto_splay_tree_compare_ids in lto.c. Is there any other function that we
are missing?
If it matters: We are using gcc-4.7.2 and using the option
-flto-partition=none.
Uday.
