--- Comment #2 from Ramana Radhakrishnan <ramana at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
On AArch64 with no strict alignment we end up generating with .002t.original

trunk 


{
  T tmp = *a + *b;
  extern void * memcpy (void *, const void *, long unsigned int);

    T tmp = *a + *b;
  MEM[(char * {ref-all})result] = MEM[(char * {ref-all})&tmp];, result;
}



On A32 or indeed AArch64 with -mstrict-align we end up generating 

{
  T tmp = *a + *b;
  extern void * memcpy (void *, const void *, long unsigned int);

    T tmp = *a + *b;
  memcpy (result, (const void *) &tmp, 16);
}


Where do you expect the memcpy to have been made redundant or a use of the
appropriate movmisalign insn - richi ?
