Call slot optimization explicitly [requires `writable` and `noalias`][0] when the destination is an argument, and `sret` doesn't imply any of these.
So the `memcpy` into the return value pointer cannot be optimized away in this test.
The test for doing this optimization when the `sret` argument is also `writable` and `noalias` is [here][1].
Relevant commits:
- 369c9b791bc3f380e884bcad444287998c32ae16 requires writability in call slot optimization and adds the `writable` attribute in the test linked above, which already has `sret`, so that it optimizes as before. So `sret` does not imply `writable`.
- f445e39ab271d07733f0f45048badd9e58905aec updates `isWritable` used in the commit above to check for `noalias` on arguments before concluding "writable".
The FIXME should probably have been removed with one of these commits.

Subject: [PATCH] Remove an invalid FIXME in a MemCpyOpt test
Call slot optimization explicitly [requires `writable` and `noalias`][0]
when the destination is an argument, and `sret` doesn't imply any of
these.
So the `memcpy` into the return value pointer cannot be optimized away
in this test.
The test for doing this optimization when the `sret` argument is also
`writable` and `noalias` is [here][1].
Relevant commits:
- 369c9b791bc3f380e884bcad444287998c32ae16 requires writability in call
slot optimization and adds the `writable` attribute in the test linked
above, which already has `sret`, so that it optimizes as before. So
`sret` does not imply `writable`.
- f445e39ab271d07733f0f45048badd9e58905aec updates `isWritable` used in
the commit above to check for `noalias` on arguments before concluding
"writable".
