I was hoping to see the assignment. My example might have been a little too simple. Here's a slightly more complex example: foo.hh class A { public: void yay(){}; }; class foo { A a; public: void bar(A & aa); void wik(); }; foo.cc #include "foo.hh" void foo::bar(A & aa) { a = aa; } void foo::wik() { a.yay(); } foo.cc.004t.gimple void foo::wik() (struct foo * const this) { struct A * D.1731; D.1731 = &this->a; A::yay (D.1731); } void A::yay() (struct A * const this) { GIMPLE_NOP } void foo::bar(A&) (struct foo * const this, struct A & aa) { GIMPLE_NOP } Looking at the gimple output there is no way to see that 'a' was assigned in bar(). So that it can be used in wik(). Am I misunderstanding something shouldn't there be a way to see the assignment in bar? Do I have to parse the expression statement or are things already optimized away and there is no way to get the information that I seek. Cheers, Kyle
