My recent cleanup of tree-ssa-sccvn.c added a bug along the way.
Prior to my patch, inserting a VN by pieces did:

  if (length >= 1)
    vno1->op[0] = op0;
  if (length >= 2)
    vno1->op[1] = op1;
  if (length >= 3)
    vno1->op[2] = op2;
  if (length >= 4)
    vno1->op[3] = op3;

and looking up a VN by pieces did:

  vno1.op[0] = op0;
  vno1.op[1] = op1;
  vno1.op[2] = op2;
  vno1.op[3] = op3;

and I unified these by using the second snippet of code.

As you might have guessed, this change is not correct.  When we're
inserting a VN by pieces, we allocate a vn_nary_opt structure for a
specific number of operands.  If we use the second form, then we
scribble over memory beyond the end of our allocation, causing havoc.
(The specific case Julian noticed was overwriting libc's data structures
for obstacks when doing a cross to arm-none-linux-gnueabi and compiling
glibc...I am surprised this memory corruption was not discovered
earlier.)

The patch below fixes this by using a variant of the first snippet
above.  I think this is correct even for looking up a VN, since we'll
only ever iterate over vno->length operands when computing the hash for
the VN.

Bootstrapped on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu and verifying that the patch
fixes compiling glibc for arm-none-linux-gnueabi.  OK to commit?

I think this is also PR 45950 which is also seen on i686-linux-gnu so
maybe checking there too.


Thanks,

It also fixed:

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45952

May I suggest you also bootstrap i686-linux on Linux/x86-64? My example
in PR 45952 works on Fedora/x86-64.

Thanks.

Add a comment stating that all the fallthrus are intended.  Otherwise this is 
obviously correct so please install to fix the breakage.
