llvm-6502/lib/Analysis/ScalarEvolutionAliasAnalysis.cpp
Dan Gohman 49bda917db Rework scev-aa's basic computation so that it doesn't depend
on ScalarEvolution successfully folding and preserving
range information for both A-B and B-A. Now, if it gets
either one, it's sufficient.

//
// This differs from traditional loop dependence analysis in that it tests
// for dependencies within a single iteration of a loop, rather than
// dependencies between different iterations.
//
// ScalarEvolution has a more complete understanding of pointer arithmetic
// than BasicAliasAnalysis' collection of ad-hoc analyses.
