Hi, After some experimentation I managed to derive self contained testcase (other than GCC itself). struct a/b/c gets the same TYPE_CANONICAL which is different from struct b. Without that change in recording component aliases then the alias_set of struct b has component float * instead of int *. Eventually in main we optimize out the store to int * because we do not see the conflict.
One needs to add the extra garbage around to be sure that things are streamed in proper order and also in proper order shipped to ltrans and finally the gimple optimizers are not smart enough to get the propagation without TBAA oracle help. Comitted. * gcc.c-torture/execute/lto-tbaa-1.c: New testcase.
