Richard,

Well during my exploration of pretty printing I spent
a bunch of time looking at mem refs, hence the question.

I understand GIMPLE is not an AST. I worked on a
in house compiler someplace where the only IR was
an AST and it was a really horrible IR so I'm glad GIMPLE
isn't an AST. But the tree expressions seem to be chunks
of AST (with some other stuff thrown in that could be thought of
as node attributes.) Am I wrong to think of them that way?

Thanks,

Gary

Yes, there's some loss of information so we don't
"pretty" print the MEM.

That seems to be an unrelated question?  Note that GIMPLE
is much closer to RTL than you think - GIMPLE is _not_ an AST.
You see offsets whenever symbolic (COMPONENT_REF I suppose)
is eventually not semantically correct.
