Jakub Jelinek 134442b217 c++: Support &typeid(x) == &typeid(y) and typeid(x) == typeid(y) in constant evaluation [PR103600]
If the tinfo vars are emitted in the current TU, they are emitted at the end
of the compilation, and for some types they are exported from
libstdc++/libsupc++ and not emitted in the current TU at all.

The following patch allows constant folding of comparisons of typeid
addresses and makes it possible to implement P1328R1 - making type_info
operator== constexpr (Jonathan has a patch for that).

As mentioned in the PR, the varpool/middle-end code is trying to be
conservative with address comparisons of different vars if those vars
don't bind locally, because of possible aliases in other TUs etc.
and so while match.pd folds &typeid(int) == &typeid(int) because
it is equality comparison with the same operands, for different typeids
it doesn't fold it.

I think DECL_ARTIFICIAL vars generally can overlap.

The following patch adds a GCC internal attribute "non overlapping"
and uses it in symtab_node::equal_address_to.
Not sure what plans has Honza in that area and whether it would be useful
to make the attribute public and let users assert that some variable will
never overlap with other variables, won't have aliases etc.

Ah, indeed, good idea.  FYI, clang++ seems to constant fold
&typeid(x) != &typeid(y) already, so Jonathan could use it even for
clang++ in the constexpr operator==.  But it folds even
extern int &a, &b;
constexpr bool c = &a != &b;
regardless of whether some other TU has
int a;
int b __attribute__((alias (a));
or not.

The GNU Compiler Collection is free software.  See the files whose
names start with COPYING for copying permission.  The manuals, and
some of the runtime libraries, are under different terms; see the
individual source files for details.

The directory INSTALL contains copies of the installation information
as HTML and plain text.  The source of this information is
gcc/doc/install.texi.  The installation information includes details
of what is included in the GCC sources and what files GCC installs.

See the file gcc/doc/gcc.texi (together with other files that it
includes) for usage and porting information.  An online readable

Copyright years on GCC source files may be listed using range
notation, e.g., 1987-2012, indicating that every year in the range,
inclusive, is a copyrightable year that could otherwise be listed
individually.
