Ick.  The problem is that with MEM_REF we now have local variables that
are is_gimple_reg () but not in SSA form.

void
foo (void)
{
  int i = 0;
  bar (*(struct S *) &i);
}

is undefined and thus we remove the initializer and expand from

foo ()
{
  int i;

  # BLOCK 2 freq:10000
  # PRED: ENTRY [100.0%]  (fallthru,exec)
  bar (MEM[(struct S *)&i]);
  return;
  # SUCC: EXIT [100.0%]

}

where when processing the remaining local decls we stop processing 'i' at

      /* Expanded above already.  */
      if (is_gimple_reg (var))
        {
          TREE_USED (var) = 0;
          goto next;
        }

the issue is probably latent on the 4.5 branch if we manage to end up with

   bar (VIEW_CONVERT <struct S>(i));

instead.

We could rewrite i into SSA form but would have troubles with even more
undefined code which would require a VIEW_CONVERT_EXPR to a different
sized object (which we now reject during gimple validation - the
view-converted use is the reason we don't rewrite it in the first place).

Another long-standing idea was to extend the use of DECL_GIMPLE_REG_P
to all variables (including those that are always registers).  That
enables a check for whether a variable is in SSA form.

OTOH update-address-taken is to properly honor this and it does, it
is just missing handling of call arguments.  I have a patch.
