//
// 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 pass is language-independent. The type system is encoded in
// metadata. This allows this pass to support typical C and C++ TBAA, but
// it can also support custom aliasing behavior for other languages.
//
// This is a work-in-progress. It doesn't work yet, and the metadata
// format isn't stable.
//
// TODO: getModRefBehavior. The AliasAnalysis infrastructure will need to
// be extended.
// TODO: AA chaining
// TODO: struct fields
