10 // This file implements a CFL-based context-insensitive alias analysis
11 // algorithm. It does not depend on types. The algorithm is a mixture of the one
12 // described in "Demand-driven alias analysis for C" by Xin Zheng and Radu
13 // Rugina, and "Fast algorithms for Dyck-CFL-reachability with applications to
14 // Alias Analysis" by Zhang Q, Lyu M R, Yuan H, and Su Z. -- to summarize the
15 // papers, we build a graph of the uses of a variable, where each node is a
16 // memory location, and each edge is an action that happened on that memory
17 // location. The "actions" can be one of Dereference, Reference, Assign, or
20 // Two variables are considered as aliasing iff you can reach one value's node
21 // from the other value's node and the language formed by concatenating all of
22 // the edge labels (actions) conforms to a context-free grammar.
24 // Because this algorithm requires a graph search on each query, we execute the
25 // algorithm outlined in "Fast algorithms..." (mentioned above)
26 // in order to transform the graph into sets of variables that may alias in
27 // ~nlogn time (n = number of variables.), which makes queries take constant
