13 // This file also implements the default version of the AliasAnalysis interface
14 // that is to be used when no other implementation is specified. This does some
15 // simple tests that detect obvious cases: two different global pointers cannot
16 // alias, a global cannot alias a malloc, two different mallocs cannot alias,
19 // This alias analysis implementation really isn't very good for anything, but
20 // it is very fast, and makes a nice clean default implementation. Because it
21 // handles lots of little corner cases, other, more complex, alias analysis
22 // implementations may choose to rely on this pass to resolve these simple and
