On AMD64 with GNU C version 4.2.0 20060107, I get this .optimized dump:

;; Function foo (foo)

foo (r)
{
  int r$b;
  int r$a;
  char r$d;

<bb 2>:
  r$b = r.b;
  r$a = r.a;
  r$d = r.d;
  <retval>.m = r.m;
  <retval>.b = r$b;
  <retval>.a = r$a;
  <retval>.d = r$d;
  return <retval>;

}

4.1 branch has
;; Function foo (foo)

Analyzing Edge Insertions.
foo (r)
{
  struct s temp_struct3;
  struct s temp_struct2;

<bb 0>:
  temp_struct1 = r;
  temp_struct2 = temp_struct1;
  temp_struct3 = temp_struct2;
  <retval> = temp_struct3;
  return <retval>;

}

and generates

simple "cleanup" struct copyprop

Attached simple "cleanup" style struct copyprop that is able to clean up
useless
copys inserted by inlining and gimplification (mostly happens for C++).  It
handles both

  tmp = X;
  Y = tmp;

to

  tmp = X;
  Y = X;

(commented code to remove tmp = X is there, but one needs to somehow check
if the store is to a global var - DCE will happily clean up after us though)

and

  tmp = X;
  X = tmp;

to

  tmp = X;

(happens a few times in gcc itself, same comment as above).  This looks like
a thing we should do after/inside inlining in ssa form.

Note that this patch doesn't require dominator information (which would enable
us to relax the stmt ordering by checking if the final store dominates all
kills of X - i.e. to prevent propagation in the case of

  #   tmpD.1530_3 = V_MUST_DEF <tmpD.1530_2>;
  #   VUSE <aD.1524_1>;
  tmpD.1530 = aD.1524;
  #   aD.1524_5 = V_MUST_DEF <aD.1524_1>;
  #   VUSE <bD.1525_4>;
  aD.1524 = bD.1525;
  #   cD.1526_7 = V_MUST_DEF <cD.1526_6>;
  #   VUSE <tmpD.1530_3>;
  cD.1526 = tmpD.1530;

as aD.1524 is not in SSA form and so the value used in stmt 1 is no longer
available)

[Bug tree-optimization/14295] [tree-ssa] copy propagation for aggregates

[rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org]

------- Comment #7 from rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org  2008-01-27 14:14 -------
One important structure copy propagation that SRA is not able to handle is

struct X { int i; int j; };

void foo(struct X);
inline void wrap(struct X w) { foo(w); }
void bar(struct X x) { wrap(x); }

where a copy from the parameter x in bar to the temporary used as parameter
to the call to foo remains (because both cannot be decomposed by SRA as
they need to live in memory):

bar (x)
{
  int x$j;
  int x$i;
  struct X w;

<bb 2>:
  x$i_8 = x.i;
  x$j_9 = x.j;
  w.j = x$j_9;
  w.i = x$i_8;
  foo (w) [tail call];
  return;

}

In this case expansion works anyway because the call to foo is marked as
tail-call before SRA comes along.

SRA heuristics also doesn't work very well here, as it is clearly not
profitable to do element-copy here; in fact it probably makes structure
copy-prop more difficult to implement.

[rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org]

------- Comment #8 from rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org  2008-06-22 15:05 -------
If we would disallow struct copies in the gimple IL and instead require a
register temporary that we would re-write into SSA form like

  struct s temp_struct3;
  struct s temp_struct2;
  struct s temp_struct1;
  struct s temp_struct3.3;
  struct s temp_struct2.2;
  struct s temp_struct1.1;
  struct s r.0;

<bb 2>:
  r.0_1 = r;
  temp_struct1 ={v} r.0_1;
  temp_struct1.1_2 = temp_struct1;
  temp_struct2 ={v} temp_struct1.1_2;
  temp_struct2.2_3 = temp_struct2;
  temp_struct3 ={v} temp_struct2.2_3;
  temp_struct3.3_4 = temp_struct3;
  <retval> ={v} temp_struct3.3_4;
  return <retval>;

then value-numbering can recognize the redundant copies and we end up
with

  struct s temp_struct3.3;
  struct s r.0;

<bb 2>:
  r.0_1 = r;
  <retval> = r.0_1;
  return <retval>;

(and of course with the possibility of out-of-SSA having to deal with
overlapping life-ranges of struct-typed SSA names)

aggregate temporary registers

Like this simple, untested patch.  Breaks tree-sra.

[Bug optimization/14295] New: [tree-ssa] copy propagation for aggregates

[dann at godzilla dot ics dot uci dot edu]

This is a (possible?) enhancement request. 
There already is a testcase in the testsuite for this: 20031106-6.c

struct s
{
  char d;
  int a, b;
  double m;
};

struct s foo (struct s r)
{
  struct s temp_struct1;
  struct s temp_struct2;
  struct s temp_struct3;
  temp_struct1 = r;
  temp_struct2 = temp_struct1;
  temp_struct3 = temp_struct2;
  return temp_struct3;
}

The .optimized dump is: 

foo (r)
{
  double r$m;
  int r$b;
  int r$a;
  struct s temp_struct3;

<bb 0>:
  r$a = r.a;
  r$b = r.b;
  r$m = r.m;
  temp_struct3.d = r.d;
  temp_struct3.a = r$a;
  temp_struct3.b = r$b;
  temp_struct3.m = r$m;
  return temp_struct3;
}

It would be nice if it would be just "return r;"

SRA could take care of things like this, but that might be much more work, plus
it precludes from using more optimized memory copy sequences for 
aggregate copying instead of series of loads and store. 

BTW, the above code seems strange too, temporaries are created for r.a, r.b 
and r.m, but not for r.d 

Another compiler produces the following assembly:

        mov     eax, DWORD PTR $T552[esp-4]
        push    esi
        push    edi
        mov     ecx, 6
        lea     esi, DWORD PTR _r$[esp+4]
        mov     edi, eax
        rep movsd
        pop     edi
        pop     esi

On the mainline now we have:

foo (r)
{
  struct s temp_struct3;
  struct s temp_struct2;
  struct s temp_struct1;

<bb 0>:
  temp_struct1 = r;
  temp_struct2 = temp_struct1;
