[Bug tree-optimization/25558] New: Arguments cannot alias local variables

[pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org]

I cannot remember if I filed a bug about this or not but I noticed this while
looking at some Fortran code.  Here is testcase which shows the issue:
void link_error(void);

int *t;
int g(int *a)
{
  t = a;
  *a = 2;
}

void f(int *a)
{
  int b;
  b = 1;
  g(&b);
  b = 2;
  *a = 1;  <--- a cannot point to b here.
  if (b == 2)
    link_error();
}

int main(void)
{
  int t;
  f(&t);
  return 0;
}
