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