------- Comment #28 from uweigand at gcc dot gnu dot org 2005-11-15 18:31 ------- Just one additional comment: the patch from comment #10 was rejected, maybe because it required changes to the core gimplifier.
However, I've tested just the Ada front-end pieces from that patch, and this *already* fixed the problem for me. The reason appears to be that -in general- occurrences of ADDR_EXPR (CONSTRUCTOR) do not constitute a problem. The problem only comes when such constructs occur in turn as part of another (outer) CONSTRUCTOR. The middle-end never generates that case, only the Ada front-end does -- thus it suffices to fix those cases in the Ada front-end itself. So I guess it would be possible right now to fix the bootstrap issue by a pure front-end patch. (This doesn't address the more general question of whether or not the gimplifier has a bug that can be exposed by other front-ends too, of course ...) -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22533
