10 // This file defines the ScopedNoAlias alias-analysis pass, which implements
11 // metadata-based scoped no-alias support.
13 // Alias-analysis scopes are defined by an id (which can be a string or some
14 // other metadata node), a domain node, and an optional descriptive string.
15 // A domain is defined by an id (which can be a string or some other metadata
16 // node), and an optional descriptive string.
18 // !dom0 = metadata !{ metadata !"domain of foo()" }
19 // !scope1 = metadata !{ metadata !scope1, metadata !dom0, metadata !"scope 1" }
20 // !scope2 = metadata !{ metadata !scope2, metadata !dom0, metadata !"scope 2" }
22 // Loads and stores can be tagged with an alias-analysis scope, and also, with
23 // a noalias tag for a specific scope:
25 // ... = load %ptr1, !alias.scope !{ !scope1 }
26 // ... = load %ptr2, !alias.scope !{ !scope1, !scope2 }, !noalias !{ !scope1 }
28 // When evaluating an aliasing query, if one of the instructions is associated
29 // has a set of noalias scopes in some domain that is superset of the alias
30 // scopes in that domain of some other instruction, then the two memory
31 // accesses are assumed not to alias.
