If I’m not mistaken all tree nodes, which have pointer type, can be divided into two groups: the type is a is a pointer to data member (TYPE_PTRMEM_P is true for it), the type is a pointer type, and the pointee is not a data member (TYPE_PTR_P is true for it). I think that we’re interested in disabling of the second group handling. It can also be divided into two groups: the type is a pointer to function type (TYPE_PTRFN_P is true for it), the type is a pointer to object type (TYPE_PTROB_P is true for it). In my opinion, the second one is worth to be considered. It contains, for example, nop_expr (these nodes are used to represent conversions that do not require any code-generation) integer_cst (these nodes represent integer constants), ssa_name. I haven’t found all types, which are contained in it. However, I think that we could disable other types, if it is necessary in the future. > What we should do later is to build a run-time check that ensures > no pointer overflow is happening and then just create code without it. I think that it is better to do this when the pointer handling is completed. I’ve attached a Change_Log, which corresponds to the previous patch. Are they fine for trunk? Could we give a headsup on the GCC mailing list and ask other people to try the new isl support in case this patch is committed? -- Cheers, Roman Gareev.
