analyzer: round-trip pointer-equality through intptr_t
When investigating how the analyzer handles malloc/free of Cray pointers in gfortran I noticed that that analyzer was losing information on pointers that were cast to an integer type, and then back to a pointer type again. The root cause is that region_model::maybe_cast_1 was only preserving the region_svalue-ness of the result if both types were pointers, instead returning an unknown_svalue for a pointer-to-int cast. This patch updates the above code so that it attempts to use a region_svalue if *either* type is a pointer Doing so allows the analyzer to recognize that the same underlying region is in use through various casts through integer types. gcc/analyzer/ChangeLog: * region-model.cc (region_model::maybe_cast_1): Attempt to provide a region_svalue if either type is a pointer, rather than if both types are pointers. gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gcc.dg/analyzer/torture/intptr_t.c: New test.
