9 // This file defines the ScopedNoAlias alias-analysis pass, which implements
10 // metadata-based scoped no-alias support.
12 // Alias-analysis scopes are defined by an id (which can be a string or some
13 // other metadata node), a domain node, and an optional descriptive string.
14 // A domain is defined by an id (which can be a string or some other metadata
15 // node), and an optional descriptive string.
17 // !dom0 = metadata !{ metadata !"domain of foo()" }
18 // !scope1 = metadata !{ metadata !scope1, metadata !dom0, metadata !"scope 1" }
19 // !scope2 = metadata !{ metadata !scope2, metadata !dom0, metadata !"scope 2" }
21 // Loads and stores can be tagged with an alias-analysis scope, and also, with
22 // a noalias tag for a specific scope:
24 // ... = load %ptr1, !alias.scope !{ !scope1 }
25 // ... = load %ptr2, !alias.scope !{ !scope1, !scope2 }, !noalias !{ !scope1 }
27 // When evaluating an aliasing query, if one of the instructions is associated
28 // has a set of noalias scopes in some domain that is a superset of the alias
29 // scopes in that domain of some other instruction, then the two memory
30 // accesses are assumed not to alias.
