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. 24 // 25 //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// 26 27 #include "llvm/Analysis/AliasAnalysis.h" 28 #include "llvm/Pass.h" 29 #include "llvm/BasicBlock.h" 30 #include "llvm/Function.h" 31 #include "llvm/IntrinsicInst.h" 32 #include "llvm/Instructions.h" 33 #include "llvm/LLVMContext.h" 34 #include "llvm/Type.h" 35 #include "llvm/Target/TargetData.h" 36 using namespace llvm; 37 38 // Register the AliasAnalysis interface, providing a nice name to refer to. 39 INITIALIZE_ANALYSIS_GROUP(AliasAnalysis, "Alias Analysis", NoAA) 40 char AliasAnalysis::ID = 0; 41 42 //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// 43 // Default chaining methods 44 //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// 45 46 AliasAnalysis::AliasResult 47 AliasAnalysis::alias(const Location &LocA, const Location &LocB) { 48 assert(AA && "AA didn't call InitializeAliasAnalysis in its run method!"); 49 return AA->alias(LocA, LocB); 50 } 51 52 bool AliasAnalysis::pointsToConstantMemory(const Location &Loc, 53 bool OrLocal) { 54 assert(AA && "AA didn't call InitializeAliasAnalysis in its run method!"); 55 return AA->pointsToConstantMemory(Loc, OrLocal); 56 } 57 58 void AliasAnalysis::deleteValue(Value *V) { 59 assert(AA && "AA didn't call InitializeAliasAnalysis in its run method!"); 60 AA->deleteValue(V); 61 } 62 63 void AliasAnalysis::copyValue(Value *From, Value *To) { 64 assert(AA && "AA didn't call InitializeAliasAnalysis in its run method!"); 65 AA->copyValue(From, To); 66 } 67 68 void AliasAnalysis::addEscapingUse(Use &U) { 69 assert(AA && "AA didn't call InitializeAliasAnalysis in its run method!"); 70 AA->addEscapingUse(U); 71 } 72 73 74 AliasAnalysis::ModRefResult 75 AliasAnalysis::getModRefInfo(ImmutableCallSite CS, 76 const Location &Loc) { 77 assert(AA && "AA didn't call InitializeAliasAnalysis in its run method!"); 78 79 ModRefBehavior MRB = getModRefBehavior(CS); 80 if (MRB == DoesNotAccessMemory) 81 return NoModRef; 82 83 ModRefResult Mask = ModRef; 84 if (onlyReadsMemory(MRB)) 85 Mask = Ref; 86 87 if (onlyAccessesArgPointees(MRB)) { 88 bool doesAlias = false; 89 if (doesAccessArgPointees(MRB)) { 90 MDNode *CSTag = CS.getInstruction()->getMetadata(LLVMContext::MD_tbaa); 91 for (ImmutableCallSite::arg_iterator AI = CS.arg_begin(), AE = CS.arg_end(); 92 AI != AE; ++AI) { 93 const Value *Arg = *AI; 94 if (!Arg->getType()->isPointerTy()) 95 continue; 96 Location CSLoc(Arg, UnknownSize, CSTag); 97 if (!isNoAlias(CSLoc, Loc)) { 98 doesAlias = true; 99 break; 100 } 101 } 102 } 103 if (!doesAlias) 104 return NoModRef; 105 } 106 107 // If Loc is a constant memory location, the call definitely could not 108 // modify the memory location. 109 if ((Mask & Mod) && pointsToConstantMemory(Loc)) 110 Mask = ModRefResult(Mask & ~Mod); 111 112 // If this is the end of the chain, don't forward. 113 if (!AA) return Mask; 114 115 // Otherwise, fall back to the next AA in the chain.
