--- Comment #5 from Richard Guenther <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-02-22 09:57:22 UTC --- I'm not sure we care about preserving pointer types in debug stmts, nor if the mem-ref stripping is needed (well, build_fold_addr_expr does that, too). Index: gcc/gimple-fold.c =================================================================== --- gcc/gimple-fold.c (revision 184460) +++ gcc/gimple-fold.c (working copy) @@ -1250,6 +1250,18 @@ fold_stmt_1 (gimple_stmt_iterator *gsi, changed = true; } } + else if (val + && TREE_CODE (val) == ADDR_EXPR) + { + tree ref = TREE_OPERAND (val, 0); + tree tem = maybe_fold_reference (ref, false); + if (tem) + { + tem = build_fold_addr_expr_with_type (tem, TREE_TYPE (val)); + gimple_debug_bind_set_value (stmt, tem); + changed = true; + } + } } break; fixes it for me.
