[Bug tree-optimization/17147] New: Alignment information lost with variable size structures

[falk at debian dot org]

Given this code:

int f(int n, void *p) {
    struct {
        int a[n];
        int b[n];
    } *sp = p;    
    return sp->b[5];
}

3.4 and 3.5 20040815 (ugh. I should probably try a newer one) generate:

        s4addq $16,$17,$17
        ldl $0,20($17)

while lno generates:
        s4addq $16,$17,$17
        lda $2,20($17)
        ldq_u $3,20($17)
        ldq_u $1,3($2)
        extll $3,$2,$3
        extlh $1,$2,$1
        bis $3,$1,$0
        addl $31,$0,$0

that is, it does an unaligned load. This does not happen at -O0.

The LNO branch is dead and it works correctly on the mainline.
