Rationale (February, 2012):

The Standard is clear on the requirements, and implementations are free to optimize within the constraints of the “as-if” rule.

According to 7.6.10 [expr.eq] paragraph 2, two function pointers only compare equal if they point to the same function. However, as an optimization, implementations are currently aliasing functions that have identical definitions. It is not clear whether the Standard needs to deal explicitly with this optimization or not.
