//===- llvm/Analysis/AliasAnalysis.h - Alias Analysis Interface -*- C++ -*-===// // // The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure // // This file is distributed under the University of Illinois Open Source // License. See LICENSE.TXT for details. // //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// // // 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. // //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// #ifndef LLVM_ANALYSIS_ALIAS_ANALYSIS_H #define LLVM_ANALYSIS_ALIAS_ANALYSIS_H #include "llvm/Support/CallSite.h" #include "llvm/ADT/DenseMap.h" namespace llvm { class LoadInst; class StoreInst; class VAArgInst; class TargetData; class Pass; class AnalysisUsage; class MemTransferInst; class MemIntrinsic; class AliasAnalysis { protected: const TargetData *TD; private: AliasAnalysis *AA; // Previous Alias Analysis to chain to. protected: /// InitializeAliasAnalysis - Subclasses must call this method to initialize /// the AliasAnalysis interface before any other methods are called.
