I've observed an LTO wrong-code bug with a large testcase in GCC 12, that results from TYPE_TYPELESS_STORAGE not being set consistently on type variants. Specifically, in the LTO stage of compilation, there is an aggregate type passed to get_alias_set, whose TYPE_MAIN_VARIANT does not have TYPE_TYPELESS_STORAGE set. However, the TYPE_CANONICAL of that main variant *does* have have TYPE_TYPELESS_STORAGE set; note that the use of TYPE_CANONICAL in get_alias_set comes after the check of TYPE_TYPELESS_STORAGE. The effect is that when (one-argument) record_component_aliases is called, the recursive call to get_alias_set gives alias set 0, and the aggregate type ends up not being considered to alias its members, with wrong-code consequences. I haven't managed to produce a self-contained executable testcase to demonstrate this, but it clearly seems appropriate for TYPE_TYPELESS_STORAGE to be consistent on type variants, so this patch makes it so, which appears to be sufficient to resolve the bug. I've attached a reduced test that does at least demonstrate main-variant versions of a type (SB in this test) being written out to LTO IR both with and without TYPE_TYPELESS_STORAGE, although not the subsequent consequences of a type without TYPE_TYPELESS_STORAGE with a TYPE_CANONICAL (as constructed after LTO type merging) with TYPE_TYPELESS_STORAGE and following wrong-code. Bootstrapped with no regressions for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.
