Title:
  miscompile writing to bitfield at -Os

Status in The GNU Compiler Collection:
  In Progress
Status in “gcc-4.5” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The attached preprocessed file was extracted out of a file from LLVM. When it was compiled by g++-4.5 at -Os, and LLVM's test suite was run, it resulted in the assert in PointerType's constructor firing:
  llvm::PointerType::PointerType(llvm::Type*, unsigned int): Assertion `oldNCT == NumContainedTys && "bitfield written out of bounds?"' failed.

  This was the invocation I used:
  g++-4.5 -Os -fPIC -g -pedantic -Wno-long-long -fno-exceptions -o lib/VMCore/CMakeFiles/LLVMCore.dir/Type2.cpp.o -c Type2.ii
