More lenient pointer equality.
Pointer equality is now defined using absolute object offsets. The treatment is similar to CompCert: * Equality of pointers in the same object is defined provided the object has not been deallocated. * Equality of pointers in different objects is defined provided both pointers have not been deallocated and both are strict (i.e. not end-of-array). Thus, pointer equality is defined for all pointers that are not-end-of-array and have not been deallocated. The following examples have defined behavior: int x, y; printf("%d\n", &x == &y); int *p = malloc(sizeof(int)), *q = malloc(sizeof(int)); printf("%d\n", p == q); struct S { int a; int b; } s, *r = &s; printf("%d\n", &s.a + 1 == &(r->b)); The following not: int x, y; printf("%d\n", &x + 1 == &y);
