This patch fixes an ICE I reported earlier today as PR go/89019, which occurs when compiling sufficiently complicated Go code with link-time optimization (i.e., -flto) enabled.
Both of these simple test programs are sufficient to trigger the ICE: $ cat crash1.go package main type fcanary func() $ cat crash2.go package main func f() { var canary func() func() { canary() }() } The cause appears to be that the propagation of structural equality requirements is mishandled during the handoff from the Go frontend to the middle-end. Pointers to types that required structural equality were not always marked as requiring structural equality themselves. Remarkably, the only code that notices the mistake is the free_lang_data IPA pass, which is only active when LTO is enabled. The enclosed patch fixes the issue and provides test coverage by adding a subtest to the Go torture test suite that compiles with -flto. Bootstrapped and ran Go test suite on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. 2018-01-23 Nikhil Benesch <nikhil.bene...@gmail.com> PR go/89019 * go-gcc.cc (Gcc_backend::placeholder_struct_type): Mark placeholder structs as requiring structural equality.
