I want to allow *only* what the C++ standard requires or what Jason says
of course :), and not a single bit more, because it suppresses otherwise
correct optimizations.
So a struct with a std::byte member is not alias_set 0,
only the std::byte itself is, but an array of std::byte
is itself typeless_storage, and makes the whole structure
also typeless_storage, but that is not the usual way how
the alias machinery works, where such an attribute would not
propagate. Currently I think the C++ FE can do the propagation
when the type is declared. I would not imply that with the
typeless_storage attribute, because may_alias does not do that
either.
Bernd.
