//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
//
// 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 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, or UnknownSize if the size is not known.
// Pointers that point to two completely different objects in memory never
// alias, regardless of the value of the Size component.
