Hi, this came up when looking into why the static ctors contain useless trees (like casts). We can simply canonicalize them while varpool analyzes pending decls. It'll look at initialzers once, where we can "gimplify" them. This requires making canonicalize_constructor_val be able to be called outside of functions. And it requires the java frontend not leaving a dangling function decl as current (for the static ctor function it generates).
Regstrapped on x86_64-linux with the other three cleanups. Okay for trunk? Ciao, Michael. -- * cgraphbuild.c (record_reference): Canonicalize constructor values. * gimple-fold.c (canonicalize_constructor_val): Accept being called without function context. java/ * jcf-parse.c (java_emit_static_constructor): Clear cfun and current_function_decl.
