Why would we annotate a "any other code generation is insane" issues at all?
When we do chained pointer loads in
file->f_op->op()
and we say "I don't care what value I get for the middle one", I don't
see the value in annotating that at all.
There is no compiler that will sanely and validly do a pointer chain
load by *anything* but a load. And it doesn't matter to us if it then
spills and reloads, it will *STILL* be a load.
We're not talking about "extract different bits in separate
operations". We're talking about following one pointer that can point
to two separate static values.
Reality matters. A *lot* more than some "C standard" that we already
have ignored for decades because it's not strong enough.
