//===- 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 MemoryLocation 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 // MemoryLocation::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_ALIASANALYSIS_H #define LLVM_ANALYSIS_ALIASANALYSIS_H #include "llvm/ADT/DenseMap.h" #include "llvm/IR/CallSite.h" #include "llvm/IR/Metadata.h" #include "llvm/Analysis/MemoryLocation.h" namespace llvm { class LoadInst; class StoreInst; class VAArgInst; class DataLayout; class TargetLibraryInfo; class Pass; class AnalysisUsage; class MemTransferInst; class MemIntrinsic; class DominatorTree; /// The possible results of an alias query. /// /// These results are always computed between two MemoryLocation objects as /// a query to some alias analysis. /// /// Note that these are unscoped enumerations because we would like to support /// implicitly testing a result for the existence of any possible aliasing with /// a conversion to bool, but an "enum class" doesn't support this.
