Manman Ren a5b314c27a Struct-path aware TBAA: change the format of TBAAStructType node.
We switch the order of offset and field type to make TBAAStructType node
(name, parent node, offset) similar to scalar TBAA node (name, parent node).
TypeIsImmutable is added to TBAAStructTag node.

//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
//
// This file defines the TypeBasedAliasAnalysis pass, which implements
// metadata-based TBAA.
//
// In LLVM IR, memory does not have types, so LLVM's own type system is not
// suitable for doing TBAA. Instead, metadata is added to the IR to describe
// a type system of a higher level language. This can be used to implement
// typical C/C++ TBAA, but it can also be used to implement custom alias
// analysis behavior for other languages.
//
// The current metadata format is very simple. TBAA MDNodes have up to
// three fields, e.g.:
// !0 = metadata !{ metadata !"an example type tree" }
// !1 = metadata !{ metadata !"int", metadata !0 }
// !2 = metadata !{ metadata !"float", metadata !0 }
// !3 = metadata !{ metadata !"const float", metadata !2, i64 1 }
//
// The first field is an identity field. It can be any value, usually
// an MDString, which uniquely identifies the type. The most important
// name in the tree is the name of the root node. Two trees with
// different root node names are entirely disjoint, even if they
// have leaves with common names.
//
// The second field identifies the type's parent node in the tree, or
// is null or omitted for a root node. A type is considered to alias
// all of its descendants and all of its ancestors in the tree. Also,
// a type is considered to alias all types in other trees, so that
// bitcode produced from multiple front-ends is handled conservatively.
//
// If the third field is present, it's an integer which if equal to 1
// indicates that the type is "constant" (meaning pointsToConstantMemory
// should return true; see
// http://llvm.org/docs/AliasAnalysis.html#OtherItfs).
//
// TODO: The current metadata format doesn't support struct
// fields. For example:
// struct X {
// double d;
// int i;
// };
// void foo(struct X *x, struct X *y, double *p) {
// *x = *y;
// *p = 0.0;
// }
// Struct X has a double member, so the store to *x can alias the store to *p.
// Currently it's not possible to precisely describe all the things struct X
// aliases, so struct assignments must use conservative TBAA nodes. There's
// no scheme for attaching metadata to @llvm.memcpy yet either.
//
