See LICENSE.TXT for details. 7// 8//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// 9// 10// This file defines the generic AliasAnalysis interface, which is used as the 11// common interface used by all clients of alias analysis information, and 12// implemented by all alias analysis implementations. Mod/Ref information is 13// also captured by this interface. 14// 15// Implementations of this interface must implement the various virtual methods, 16// which automatically provides functionality for the entire suite of client 17// APIs. 18// 19// This API represents memory as a (Pointer, Size) pair. The Pointer component 20// specifies the base memory address of the region, the Size specifies how large 21// of an area is being queried. If Size is 0, two pointers only alias if they 22// are exactly equal. If size is greater than zero, but small, the two pointers 23// alias if the areas pointed to overlap. If the size is very large (ie, ~0U), 24// then the two pointers alias if they may be pointing to components of the same 25// memory object. Pointers that point to two completely different objects in 26// memory never alias, regardless of the value of the Size component. 27// 28//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// 29 30#ifndef LLVM_ANALYSIS_ALIAS_ANALYSIS_H 31#define LLVM_ANALYSIS_ALIAS_ANALYSIS_H 32 33#include "llvm/Support/CallSite.h" 34#include "llvm/Pass.h" // Need this for IncludeFile 35 36namespace llvm { 37 38class LoadInst; 39class StoreInst; 40class TargetData; 41 42class AliasAnalysis { 43 const TargetData *TD; 44protected: 45 /// InitializeAliasAnalysis - Subclasses must call this method to initialize 46 /// the AliasAnalysis interface before any other methods are called.
