10 // This file defines the generic AliasAnalysis interface, which is used as the
11 // common interface used by all clients of alias analysis information, and
12 // implemented by all alias analysis implementations.  Mod/Ref information is
13 // also captured by this interface.
14 //
15 // Implementations of this interface must implement the various virtual methods,
16 // which automatically provides functionality for the entire suite of client
17 // APIs.
18 //
19 // This API identifies memory regions with the Location class. The pointer
20 // component specifies the base memory address of the region. The Size specifies
21 // the maximum size (in address units) of the memory region, or UnknownSize if
22 // the size is not known. The TBAA tag identifies the "type" of the memory
23 // reference; see the TypeBasedAliasAnalysis class for details.
24 //
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.
