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 represents memory as a (Pointer, Size) pair. The Pointer component // specifies the base memory address of the region, the Size specifies how large // of an area is being queried. If Size is 0, two pointers only alias if they // are exactly equal. If size is greater than zero, but small, the two pointers // alias if the areas pointed to overlap. If the size is very large (ie, ~0U), // then the two pointers alias if they may be pointing to components of the same // memory object. Pointers that point to two completely different objects in // memory never alias, regardless of the value of the Size component. // //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// #ifndef LLVM_ANALYSIS_ALIAS_ANALYSIS_H #define LLVM_ANALYSIS_ALIAS_ANALYSIS_H #include "llvm/Support/CallSite.h" #include "llvm/Pass.h" // Need this for IncludeFile namespace llvm { class LoadInst; class StoreInst; class TargetData; class AliasAnalysis { const TargetData *TD; protected: /// InitializeAliasAnalysis - Subclasses must call this method to initialize /// the AliasAnalysis interface before any other methods are called.
