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/Analysis/CFG.h" 29 #include "llvm/Analysis/CaptureTracking.h" 30 #include "llvm/Analysis/ValueTracking.h" 31 #include "llvm/IR/BasicBlock.h" 32 #include "llvm/IR/DataLayout.h" 33 #include "llvm/IR/Dominators.h" 34 #include "llvm/IR/Function.h" 35 #include "llvm/IR/Instructions.h" 36 #include "llvm/IR/IntrinsicInst.h" 37 #include "llvm/IR/LLVMContext.h" 38 #include "llvm/IR/Type.h" 39 #include "llvm/Pass.h" 40 #include "llvm/Target/TargetLibraryInfo.h" 41 using namespace llvm; 42 43 // Register the AliasAnalysis interface, providing a nice name to refer to. 44 INITIALIZE_ANALYSIS_GROUP(AliasAnalysis, "Alias Analysis", NoAA) 45 char AliasAnalysis::ID = 0; 46 47 //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// 48 // Default chaining methods 49 //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// 50 51 AliasAnalysis::AliasResult 52 AliasAnalysis::alias(const Location &LocA, const Location &LocB) { 53 assert(AA && "AA didn't call InitializeAliasAnalysis in its run method!"); 54 return AA->alias(LocA, LocB); 55 } 56 57 bool AliasAnalysis::pointsToConstantMemory(const Location &Loc, 58 bool OrLocal) { 59 assert(AA && "AA didn't call InitializeAliasAnalysis in its run method!"); 60 return AA->pointsToConstantMemory(Loc, OrLocal); 61 } 62 63 AliasAnalysis::Location 64 AliasAnalysis::getArgLocation(ImmutableCallSite CS, unsigned ArgIdx, 65 AliasAnalysis::ModRefResult &Mask) { 66 assert(AA && "AA didn't call InitializeAliasAnalysis in its run method!"); 67 return AA->getArgLocation(CS, ArgIdx, Mask); 68 } 69 70 void AliasAnalysis::deleteValue(Value *V) { 71 assert(AA && "AA didn't call InitializeAliasAnalysis in its run method!"); 72 AA->deleteValue(V); 73 } 74 75 void AliasAnalysis::copyValue(Value *From, Value *To) { 76 assert(AA && "AA didn't call InitializeAliasAnalysis in its run method!"); 77 AA->copyValue(From, To); 78 } 79 80 void AliasAnalysis::addEscapingUse(Use &U) { 81 assert(AA && "AA didn't call InitializeAliasAnalysis in its run method!"); 82 AA->addEscapingUse(U); 83 } 84 85 86 AliasAnalysis::ModRefResult 87 AliasAnalysis::getModRefInfo(ImmutableCallSite CS, 88 const Location &Loc) { 89 assert(AA && "AA didn't call InitializeAliasAnalysis in its run method!"); 90 91 ModRefBehavior MRB = getModRefBehavior(CS); 92 if (MRB == DoesNotAccessMemory) 93 return NoModRef; 94 95 ModRefResult Mask = ModRef; 96 if (onlyReadsMemory(MRB)) 97 Mask = Ref; 98 99 if (onlyAccessesArgPointees(MRB)) { 100 bool doesAlias = false; 101 ModRefResult AllArgsMask = NoModRef; 102 if (doesAccessArgPointees(MRB)) { 103 for (ImmutableCallSite::arg_iterator AI = CS.arg_begin(), AE = CS.arg_end(); 104 AI != AE; ++AI) { 105 const Value *Arg = *AI; 106 if (!Arg->getType()->isPointerTy()) 107 continue; 108 ModRefResult ArgMask; 109 Location CSLoc = 110 getArgLocation(CS, (unsigned) std::distance(CS.arg_begin(), AI), 111 ArgMask); 112 if (!isNoAlias(CSLoc, Loc)) { 113 doesAlias = true; 114 AllArgsMask = ModRefResult(AllArgsMask | ArgMask); 115 } 116 } 117 } 118 if (!doesAlias) 119 return NoModRef; 120 Mask = ModRefResult(Mask & AllArgsMask); 121 } 122 123 // If Loc is a constant memory location, the call definitely could not 124 // modify the memory location. 125 if ((Mask & Mod) && pointsToConstantMemory(Loc)) 126 Mask = ModRefResult(Mask & ~Mod); 127 128 // If this is the end of the chain, don't forward. 129 if (!AA) return Mask; 130 131 // Otherwise, fall back to the next AA in the chain.
