10// This file implements the generic AliasAnalysis interface which is used as the
11// common interface used by all clients and implementations of alias analysis.
12//
13// This file also implements the default version of the AliasAnalysis interface
14// that is to be used when no other implementation is specified.  This does some
15// simple tests that detect obvious cases: two different global pointers cannot
16// alias, a global cannot alias a malloc, two different mallocs cannot alias,
17// etc.
18//
19// This alias analysis implementation really isn't very good for anything, but
20// it is very fast, and makes a nice clean default implementation.  Because it
21// handles lots of little corner cases, other, more complex, alias analysis
22// implementations may choose to rely on this pass to resolve these simple and
23// easy cases.
