    -Wdangling-pointer: don't mark SSA lhs sets as stores
    
    check_dangling_stores has some weirdnesses that causes its behavior to
    change when the target ABI requires C++ ctors to return this: while
    scanning stmts backwards in e.g. the AS ctor on a target that returns
    this in ctors, the scan first encounters a copy of this to the SSA
    name used to hold the return value.  m_ptr_query.get_ref resolves lhs
    (the return SSA name) to the rhs (the default SSA name for this), does
    not skip it because auto_var_p is false for SSA_NAMEs, and proceeds to
    add it to stores, which seems to prevent later attempts to add stores
    into *this from succeeding, which disables warnings that should have
    triggered.
    
    This is also the case when the backwards search finds unrelated stores
    to other fields of *this before it reaches stores that IMHO should be
    warned about.  The store found first disables checking of other
    stores, as if the store appearing later in the code would necessarily
    overwrite the store that should be warned about.  I've added an
    xfailed variant of the existing test (struct An) that triggers this
    problem, but I'm not sure how to go about fixing it.
    
    Meanwhile, this patch prevents assignments with SSA_NAMEs in the lhs
    from being regarded as stores, which is enough to remove the
    undesirable side effect on -Wdangling-pointer of ABI-mandated ctors'
    returning this.  Another variant of the existing test (struct Al) that
    demonstrates the problem regardless of this aspect of the ABI, and
    that gets the desired warning with the proposed patch, but not
    without.
    
    Curiously, this fix exposes yet another problem in
    Wdangling-pointer-5.c: it is the return stmt of the unrelated pointer
    p, not the store into possibly-overlapping *vpp2, that caused the
    warning to not be issued for the store in *vpp1.  I'm not sure whether
    we should or should not warn in that case, but this patch adjusts the
    test to reflect the behavior change.
    
    
    for  gcc/ChangeLog
    
            * gimple-ssa-warn-access.cc
            (pass_waccess::check_dangling_stores): Skip non-stores.
    
    for  gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog
    
            * g++.dg/warn/Wdangling-pointer.C (warn_init_ref_member): Add
            two new variants, one fixed, one xfailed.
            * c-c++-common/Wdangling-pointer-5.c
            (nowarn_store_arg_store_arg): Add now-expected warnings.
