//
// This file implements a CFL-base, summary-based alias analysis algorithm. It
// does not depend on types. The algorithm is a mixture of the one described in
// "Demand-driven alias analysis for C" by Xin Zheng and Radu Rugina, and "Fast
// algorithms for Dyck-CFL-reachability with applications to Alias Analysis" by
// Zhang Q, Lyu M R, Yuan H, and Su Z. -- to summarize the papers, we build a
// graph of the uses of a variable, where each node is a memory location, and
// each edge is an action that happened on that memory location. The "actions"
// can be one of Dereference, Reference, or Assign. The precision of this
// analysis is roughly the same as that of an one level context-sensitive
// Steensgaard's algorithm.
//
// Two variables are considered as aliasing iff you can reach one value's node
// from the other value's node and the language formed by concatenating all of
// the edge labels (actions) conforms to a context-free grammar.
//
// Because this algorithm requires a graph search on each query, we execute the
// algorithm outlined in "Fast algorithms..." (mentioned above)
// in order to transform the graph into sets of variables that may alias in
// ~nlogn time (n = number of variables), which makes queries take constant
// time.
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
// N.B. AliasAnalysis as a whole is phrased as a FunctionPass at the moment, and
// CFLSteensAA is interprocedural. This is *technically* A Bad Thing, because
// FunctionPasses are only allowed to inspect the Function that they're being
// run on. Realistically, this likely isn't a problem until we allow
// FunctionPasses to run concurrently.
