The "invariant.load" metadata indicates the memory unit being accessed is immutable.
A load annotated with this metadata can be moved across any store.
As I am not sure if it is legal to move such loads across barrier/fence, this
change dose not allow such transformation.

Listing all of the attributes for the callee of a call/invoke instruction is way
too much and makes the IR unreadable. Use references to attributes instead.

Analyse Phis under the starting assumption that they are NoAlias. Recursively
look at their inputs.
If they MayAlias/MustAlias there must be an input that makes them so.

This is a partial solution to PR14351. It removes some of the special
significance of the first incoming phi value in the phi aliasing checking logic
in BasicAA. In the context of a loop, the old logic assumes that the first
incoming value is the interesting one (meaning that it is the one that comes
from outside the loop), but this is often not the case. With this change, we
now test first the incoming value that comes from a block other than the parent
of the phi being tested.

'nocapture' attribute.
The nocapture attribute only specifies that no copies are made that
outlive the function. This isn't the same as there being no copies at all.
This fixes PR14045.

Enhances basic alias analysis to recognize phis whose first incoming values are
NoAlias and whose other incoming values are just the phi node itself through
some amount of recursion.
Example: With this change basicaa reports that ptr_phi and ptr_phi2 do not alias
each other.
bb:
ptr = ptr2 + 1
loop:
ptr_phi = phi [bb, ptr], [loop, ptr_plus_one]
ptr2_phi = phi [bb, ptr2], [loop, ptr2_plus_one]
...
ptr_plus_one = gep ptr_phi, 1
ptr2_plus_one = gep ptr2_phi, 1
This enables the elimination of one load in code like the following:
extern int foo;
int test_noalias(int *ptr, int num, int* coeff) {
int *ptr2 = ptr;
int result = (*ptr++) * (*coeff--);
while (num--) {
*ptr2++ = *ptr;
result += (*coeff--) * (*ptr++);
}
*ptr = foo;
return result;
}

If we can show that the base pointers of two GEPs don't alias each other using
precise analysis and the indices and base offset are equal then the two GEPs
also don't alias each other.
This is primarily needed for the follow up patch that analyses NoAlias'ing PHI
nodes.

built-in shell test runner to support this.
This should fix the majority of fallout on Darwin, but I suspect there
will be a few straggling issues.

I followed three heuristics for deciding whether to set 'true' or
'false':
- Everything target independent got 'true' as that is the expected
common output of the GCC builtins.
- If the target arch only has one way of implementing this operation,
set the flag in the way that exercises the most of codegen. For most
architectures this is also the likely path from a GCC builtin, with
'true' being set. It will (eventually) require lowering away that
difference, and then lowering to the architecture's operation.
- Otherwise, set the flag differently dependending on which target
operation should be tested.
Let me know if anyone has any issue with this pattern or would like
specific tests of another form. This should allow the x86 codegen to
just iteratively improve as I teach the backend how to differentiate
between the two forms, and everything else should remain exactly the
same.

target indep prefetch change.
As usual, updating the testsuite is a PITA.

visited earlier, but it's not on a cycle. This avoids
MayAlias results in cases where BasicAA is expected to
return MustAlias or PartialAlias in order to protect TBAA.

Original log message:
When BasicAA can determine that two pointers have the same base but
differ by a dynamic offset, return PartialAlias instead of MayAlias.

If it is equivalent, the LoopPromoter will tell the AST the equivalence.
Also, delete the PreheaderLoad if it is unused.
Chris, since you were the last one to make major changes here, can you check
that this is sane?

object, and the other is access has a non-zero size. This prevents
