well, the thing is that i ran across this while playing with the plugin API and
noticed that my notification callbacks didn't see the expected cgraph nodes on
certain gcc versions (v5+) which made me look into the cause and find the typo
made during the refactoring. as for sideeffects, gcc itself is a user of these
hooks (ipa-prop.c, ipa-pure-const.c and symbol-summary.h) so missing nodes
there can probably have undesirable sideeffects but it's probably best to let
gcc developers familiar with that code determine that. in any case, i think the
regressive nature of this bug alone should warrant a backport to all affected
versions...
