The primary advantage of the single entry optimization is actually that
at tree level we can find out if something is only addressable because of the
memcpy/memset/mempcpy/memmove and not for other reasons.  So, creating
a pointer to the object, adding may_alias attribute to the type and
dereferencing
it doesn't buy us much, because it would still be addressable.  So, either
we have a way to mark the VAR_DECL (or component thereof) read resp. write
with alias set 0, or we need the patch I posted, possibly with additional
check for C++/ObjC++ and don't do the optimization at all for C++.
