[Bug c++/19817] New: C++ front-end produces a cast instead of just &a.b (when call the deconstructor)

[Bug c++/19817] New: C++ front-end produces a cast instead of just &a.b (when call the deconstructor)

[pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The following code should be optimizated out on the tree level but is not because we have a cast 
involved when calling the deconstuctor.
int t;
struct base { int i; ~base(){t = i;}};
struct vector : public base { vector(){ i = 2; }};
int f() { vector v; return t;}

extern "C" void abort ();

int main(void)
{
  t = 2;
  if (f() != 2)
   link_error ();
  if (t!= 2)
   link_error ();
  return 0;
}

This might be the case for PR 19786 but I don't know for sure.

Confirmed,  This seems stupid the front-end is doing this as casts get in the way of optimizations now.
