Hello! Thank you for the information. I am also quite confused with this issue. I note that it seems that given the following statement:
m_pstSwtmrCBArray.27_1 = m_pstSwtmrCBArray; where m_pstSwtmrCBArray is a global variable (a pointer). When passing a tree pointer `v` referring to m_pstSwtmrCBArray to the following statement: auto temp = TREE_CODE(v); It will cause a segmentation fault of my GIMPLE pass. Not sure what's actually going on here...
