Two MEM_REFs can only be considered equivalent, to avoid dumping noise,
if the first operand of both has the same type.  If we don't compare
them, it is possible that two MEM_REFs that convert to the same target
pointer type end up being considered equivalent, although one of them
requires a conversion (that will be dumped) and the other doesn't.

Regstrapped on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.  Ok to install?

That doesn't make sense.  The only case I can see where it would make a
difference is for an INTEGER_CST operand zero.  And MEM-REFs
_explicitly_ are supposed to ignore the type of the first operand.

I think you are trying to fix things at the wrong place just to make
the dumps you compare equal.  So, what is the testcase in question
that your patch would fix?

Thanks,
Richard.

And indeed we do ignore it, except in dumps, in which we look at them to
decide whether to print an explicit conversion, and this is where
differences kick in.

The one in PR 45673.  Should we implement #c2?

The question is why the types differ -g vs. -g0 - I think they should not.

I obviously chickened out originally because of the vast amount of testcases
to touch ... and also because of diagnostic messages from late optimization
passes.

What we could do is to always print the MEM variant for INTEGER_CST
operand zero.  That would make sense anyway as you have no way
of guessing the type of operand one by looking at operand zero.
A patch to do this is pre-approved if it passes bootstrap & regtest.

Thanks,
Richard.

They differ because we consider them the same, and thus mem attr caching
will happily reuse either one for the other.  Debug insns just change
which one gets the shared slot first.

The proposed patch just ensures we don't share the slot, so that
MEM_ATTRs won't vary like this.

I think it would be better to avoid using operand_equal_p to test whether
to share MEM_ATTRs slot.  Best would be to gather statistics about
how often we share because MEM_EXPR' == MEM_EXPR'', how often the only
differences are in just caused by unshare_expr and no other changes
and how often we accept something differing more than that.
I hope just writing a comparison function that would require operand
equality except for IS_EXPR_CODE_CLASS and for expressions require
everything to be the same (well, perhaps for constants do operand_equal_p),
but the operands which would be checked the same way recursively, would
share most of what we share and would ensure that we print always the same.
Remember operand_equal_p does swap commutative operands etc. for comparison.

Indeed.  I think MEM_ATTR sharing wants a lexical compare, not a
semantic one as operand_equal_p provides.

Considering to remove MEM_ATTR sharing alltogether also makes
sense given that no longer pruning MEM_EXPR that aggressively
very likely resulted in way less sharing than we had before.
