            Bug ID: 110589
           Summary: Missed optimization with call-clobbered restrict
                    qualified references
           Product: gcc
           Version: 14.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: tree-optimization
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: javier.martinez.bugzilla at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

I see this on GCC trunk and do not think it is a regression, the optimization
is being taken by Clang.

extern void foo(void);

int test_clobber_by_call (int * restrict val_ptr) {
    *val_ptr = 1;

    foo();

    return *val_ptr;
}

GCC 14.0 -O3 produces:
test_clobber_by_call:
        push    rbx
        mov     rbx, rdi
        mov     BYTE PTR [rdi], 1
        call    foo
        movzx   eax, BYTE PTR [rbx] ; <--- Not expected
        pop     rbx
        ret


I would expect restrict to be a guarantee that foo() will not alias val_ptr,
producing:
test_clobber_by_call:
        mov     DWORD PTR [rdi], 1
        call    foo
        mov     eax, 1
        ret

This is indeed the output when the compiler recognizes that foo does not alias,
as in:
__attribute((noinline)) void foo(int *a) {
    *(a+10) = 0;
}


int test_clobber_by_call (int * val_ptr) {
    *val_ptr = 1;

    foo(val_ptr);

    return *val_ptr;
}


-------------------------

It looks to me as if tree-ssa-alias.c#call_may_clobber_ref_p is not considering
a restrict qualified reference. 

The following patch produces optimized code for the above example. I do not
claim that it is correct, but it does reflect what I expected to see:
