Hi,
Consider following test-case:

void *f(void *a1, void *a2, __SIZE_TYPE__ a3)
{
  __builtin_memcpy (a1, a2, a3);
  return a1;
}

return a1 can be considered equivalent to return value of memcpy,
and the call could be emitted as a tail-call.
gcc doesn't emit the above call to memcpy as a tail-call,
but if it is changed to:

void *t1 = __builtin_memcpy (a1, a2, a3);
return t1;

Then memcpy is emitted as a tail-call.
The attached patch tries to handle the former case.

Bootstrapped+tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
Cross tested on arm*-*-*, aarch64*-*-*
Does this patch look OK ?

Thanks,
Prathamesh

	* gimple.c (gimple_call_return_arg): New function.
	* gimple.h (gimple_call_return_arg): Declare.
	* tree-tailcall.c (find_tail_calls): Call gimple_call_return_arg.

	* gcc.dg/tree-ssa/tailcall-8.c: New test.

Please just inline it at the single use - the name is not terribly
informative.

I'm not sure you can rely on code-generation working if you not
effectively change the IL to

  a1 = __builtin_memcpy (a1, a2, a3);
  return a1;

someone more familiar with RTL expansion plus tail call emission on
RTL needs to chime in.

Richard.
