If I understand you correct, no.

gimplify_return_expr creates a new temporary and uses that instead of
<retval>:

   else if (gimplify_ctxp->return_temp)
     result = gimplify_ctxp->return_temp;
   else
     {
       result = create_tmp_reg (TREE_TYPE (result_decl));
       ...
     }
...
...
   /* Smash the lhs of the MODIFY_EXPR to the temporary we plan to use.
      Then gimplify the whole thing.  */
   if (result != result_decl)
     TREE_OPERAND (ret_expr, 0) = result;

Sounds like ret_expr is a MODIFY_EXPR.

Oh, but with the wrong lhs, I see.

I know you want to reuse the MODIFY_EXPR case in cp_gimplify_expr, but after playing around with it, I think it requires too much special casing to make it clean.

For instance, the MODIFY_EXPR case returns the RHS of expression which is the opposite of what we want. For this:

        return retval = <obj>

...the MODIFY_EXPR case would build a COMPOUND_EXPR with "return <<<retval, <obj>>>>", which would return <obj>, not retval. And what we probably want is a statement list with:

        <evaluation of obj>
        return retval

Also, the actual case we're dealing with here is a bit more complicated, as it involves a COMPOUND_EXPR in the RHS, which we'd have to adapt MODIFY_EXPR to handle:

        return retval = <<<TARGET_EXPR, D.9999>>

IMHO, adding a special case for all this is a lot messier than what I originally suggested.

What do you think?
