Subject: [PATCH] Add a new type attribute always_alias (PR79671)
Date: Wed, 05 Apr 2017 09:46:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <AM4PR0701MB216292327A207737064C3CA3E40A0@AM4PR0701MB2162.eurprd07.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 887 bytes --]
Hi,
this is related to the P1 codegen bug PR79671:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=79671
Therefore I would like to add this now although
the trunk is already at in stage 4.
I propose to add a new type attribute always_alias that
works like may_alias but unlike may_alias it should
also make instances alias anything. It is also exposed
in C/C++ as __attribute__((always_alias)).
For C++17 the FE automatically introduces this attribute
at std::byte and all class/struct/union which contain
either a std::byte array or an unsigned char array.
Note that the patch [1] needs to be applied as well,
because otherwise the new attribute will trip several
failures in the libstdc++ testsuite.
Bootstrapped and reg-tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.
Is it OK for trunk?
Thanks
Bernd.
