unless you strick private: somewhere the public: is redundant

Yeah, ideally I want to turn these into a classes rather than structs. 
Maybe that particular one can already be done, but I'm kind of wondering 
how far to take the C++ification of the other one.

This part (and the other one you quoted) was essentially your prototype 
patch from PR52171. I can put it whereever you like, really.

One would hope this doesn't occur very often...

I think it fits best in tree-ssa-strlen.c:strlen_optimize_stmt for the moment.

C++ templates .... but yes.

I think this doesn't belong in forwprop.  If we want to stick it into
a pass rather than
folding it should be in tree-ssa-strlen.c.

+           gimplify_and_update_call_from_tree (gsi_p, res);
+           return true;
+         }

for this part see gimple_fold_builtin_memory_op handling of

      /* If we can perform the copy efficiently with first doing all loads
         and then all stores inline it that way.  Currently efficiently
         means that we can load all the memory into a single integer
         register which is what MOVE_MAX gives us.  */

we might want to share a helper yielding the type of the load/store
or NULL if not possible.

Note that we can handle size-1 memcmp even for ordered compares.

Jakub, where do you think this fits best?  Note that gimple-fold.c may
not use immediate uses but would have to match this from the
comparison (I still have to find a way to handle this in match.pd where
the result expression contains virtual operands in the not toplevel stmt).
