------- Comment #6 from jason at gcc dot gnu dot org 2007-04-15 00:54 ------- I believe that this change will pessimize alias analysis somewhat; improved alias analysis was the reason for my change to model base access with COMPONENT_REF. But I'll leave this alone until I get around to doing that more fully (as described in 22488)
