The type-based alias analyzer cannot handle aliasing fields in structures.  Given
&PTR->FIELD, it fails to build alias sets for PTR's memory tag.  There is very
limited support for handling it, but it needs to be revamped.

Filing as a bug against the branch.  I've got a partial fix, but it's proving to
be too intrusive for the freeze period.  Will fix after the merge into mainline.

Compile the following with -O2 (adapted from fortran/scanner.c:next_char)


struct A
{
  char *nextc;
  float b;
};
 
void
bar (float *p)
{
  *p = 5.2;
}
 
char *
foo(struct A *locp, int i, char *str)
{
  float f, g, *p;
  char *T355;
  char **T356;
 
  /* Currently, the alias analyzer has limited support for handling
     aliases of structure fields when no other variables are aliased.
     Introduce additional aliases to confuse it.  */
  p =  i ? &g : &f;
  bar (p);
  if (*p > 0.0)
    str = "abc";
 
  T355 = locp->nextc;
  T356 = &locp->nextc;
  *T356 = str;
  T355 = locp->nextc;
 
  return T355;
}
 
main ()
{
  struct A loc;
  char *str;
 
  loc.nextc = "123";
  str = foo (&loc, 10, "xyz");
  if (str[0] != 'a' || str[1] != 'b' || str[2] != 'c' || str[3] != '\0')
    abort ();
  return 0;
}
