c-family: char8_t and aliasing in C vs C++ [PR111884]
In the PR, Joseph says that in C char8_t is not a distinct type. So we should behave as if it can alias anything, like ordinary char. In C, unsigned_char_type_node == char8_type_node, so with this patch we return 0 instead of -1. And the following comment says: /* The C standard guarantees that any object may be accessed via an lvalue that has narrow character type (except char8_t). */ if (t == char_type_node || t == signed_char_type_node || t == unsigned_char_type_node) return 0; Which appears to be wrong, so I'm adjusting that as well. PR c/111884 gcc/c-family/ChangeLog: * c-common.cc (c_common_get_alias_set): Return -1 for char8_t only in C++. gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog: * c-c++-common/alias-1.c: New test.
