- //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
- //
- // This file defines the generic AliasAnalysis interface, which is used as the
- // common interface used by all clients of alias analysis information, and
- // implemented by all alias analysis implementations. Mod/Ref information is
- // also captured by this interface.
- //
- // Implementations of this interface must implement the various virtual methods,
- // which automatically provides functionality for the entire suite of client
- // APIs.
- //
- // This API identifies memory regions with the Location class. The pointer
- // component specifies the base memory address of the region. The Size specifies
- // the maximum size (in address units) of the memory region, or UnknownSize if
- // the size is not known. The TBAA tag identifies the "type" of the memory
- // reference; see the TypeBasedAliasAnalysis class for details.
- //
- // Some non-obvious details include:
- // - Pointers that point to two completely different objects in memory never
- // alias, regardless of the value of the Size component.
- // - NoAlias doesn't imply inequal pointers. The most obvious example of this
- // is two pointers to constant memory. Even if they are equal, constant
- // memory is never stored to, so there will never be any dependencies.
- // In this and other situations, the pointers may be both NoAlias and
- // MustAlias at the same time. The current API can only return one result,
- // though this is rarely a problem in practice.
