            Bug ID: 18972
           Summary: testcase we fail to devirtualize but gcc does
           Product: new-bugs
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: new bugs

Given

struct foo {
 virtual ~foo();
};
struct bar : public foo {
 virtual void zed();
};
void f() {
 foo *x(new bar);
 delete x;
}

clang at -O3 will produce a call via a vtable. It would be illegal to call
_ZN3barD0Ev, since we are not guaranteed by the ABI that it is available, but
what current gcc does instead is call _ZN3fooD2E.

To do this in llvm we would probably need one more linkage:
unavailable_but_known. The idea is that _ZN3barD0Ev is not
available_externally, it can be internal no another TU, but we know its value
anyway.
