The general dataflow rule for flow into a
LoadInstruction's memory operand requires an exact overlap. But when loading a field from a single-field struct, the overlap is aMustTotallyoverlap (and not aMustExactlyoverlap), so we need an additional rule insimpleOperandLocalFlowStepthat propagates dataflow to the memory operand when the load is from a single-field struct.Prior to this PR, we didn't detect that a load was from a single-field struct when the struct was hidden behind a typedef.
