--- Comment #2 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-06-13 13:53:23 UTC --- Perhaps we should have some exceptions where we allow different MEM_ATTRS, but they need to be carefully chosen. E.g. if both refs are indirect refs and are similar, with the same points-to info, it would be ok. if (MEM_VOLATILE_P (x) || MEM_VOLATILE_P (y)) return 0; if (MEM_ATTRS (x) != MEM_ATTRS (y) && mem_attrs_equiv_p (x, y)) return 0; where mem_attrs_equiv_p would call ao_ref_from_mem on both x and y, if at least one of them returns false, fail, compare all integer fields for equality (alias sets using ao_ref_base_alias_set/ao_ref_alias_set) and compare base kinds, for indirect we could check for same type and same points-to info (couldn't find a points-to set comparison function, e.g. for pt->vars can just pointer equality be tested or does it need bitmap_equal_p?).
