And there's patch with Richi's validation check that he provided. It fails on following 2 tests in test-suite: $ ./xgcc -B. /home/marxin/Programming/gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/i386/pr68674.c DECL_MODE BLK vs TYPE_MODE V8SI [V8SI]: a ... $ ./xgcc -B. /home/marxin/Programming/gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/i386/pr80583.c -c DECL_MODE BLK vs TYPE_MODE V8SI [V8SI]: a ... In both cases we access a global variable from a function with a different target attributes. I guess Honza has seen that in inliner. What to do with these, can it be potentially dangerous? Thanks, Martin
