--- Comment #23 from Richard Guenther <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-01-11 15:57:03 UTC ---
In PR21374 it was decided to reject the testcase which makes this a C frontend
issue.  Testcase that still ICEs on the trunk even when optimizing:

int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  int size = 10;
  typedef struct
    {
      char val[size];
    }
  block;
  block b;
  block __attribute__((noinline))
  retframe_block ()
    {
      return *(block *) &b;
    }
  b=retframe_block ();
  return 0;
}

as alternative to rejecting this case we can lower returning variable-size
types during un-nesting to explicit passing of a return slot and using
memcpy, making the nested function return nothing.
