------- Comment #28 from rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org 2010-01-18 11:24 ------- Btw, get_pointer_alignment should get passed an access type to put it into context. For alignment of say INDIRECT_REFs it would be the pointed-to type but for function arguments in general it needs to be 'char' if you don't know anything about the kind of the accesses the function does. That would be the default/fallback align get_pointer_alignment has to assume.
