--- Comment #2 from Martin Sebor <msebor at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
My reading of the attribute malloc documentation:
the pointer P returned by the function cannot alias any other pointer valid
when the function returns, and moreover no pointers to valid objects occur in
any storage addressed by P.
is that in
int **q = g (sizeof (int*));
*q = 0; // *q cannot be equal to *p prior to the assignment
the assignment to *q cannot clobber any object because *q doesn't store a
pointer to any storage.
