Macro Definition Documentation

#define ALIAS_SET_MEMORY_BARRIER   ((alias_set_type) -1)

This alias set can be used to force a memory to conflict with all other memories, creating a barrier across which no memory reference can move. Note that there are other legacy ways to create such memory barriers, including an address of SCRATCH.

Code currently assumes that variables of this type can take the values 0 (the alias set which aliases everything) and -1 (sometimes indicating that the alias set is unknown, sometimes indicating a memory barrier) and -2 (indicating that the alias set should be set to a unique value but has not been set yet).

We now lower VA_ARG_EXPR, and there's currently no way to attach the varargs alias set to an INDIRECT_REF (FIXME!), so we can't consistently use the varargs alias set for loads from the varargs area. So don't use it anywhere.
