Must be fortran issue, the equivalent C testcase works: extern void abort (void); typedef __SIZE_TYPE__ uintptr_t; void foo (uintptr_t *u) { static int i; *u = (uintptr_t) &i; } void bar (uintptr_t *u) { if (*(int *)*u != 1) abort (); } int main () { uintptr_t mem; foo (&mem); *(int *)mem = 1; bar (&mem); return 0; } in particular the call to foo makes mem point to NONLOCAL as can be seen from the ealias dump: foo (&mem); mem.0_1 = mem; # PT = nonlocal escaped mem.1_2 = (int *) mem.0_1; while for the fortran case I see object_holder_init (&object_holder); pobj_1 = object_holder; # PT = pobj.4_2 = (integer(kind=8)[3] *) pobj_1; *pobj.4_2[0] = 900; so object_holder points to nothing. If I remove the implementations of object_hoder_init and print_vals then the alias info is correct. Thus, some attribute on object_holder_init confuses points-to analysis. I see it has ".w" fnspec, so that must be where the bug lies (nothing is wrong in specifying ".w" here). Mine.
