Determine if the two component references REF1 and REF2 which are based on access types TYPE1 and TYPE2 and of which at least one is based on an indirect reference may alias. REF2 is the only one that can be a decl in which case REF2_IS_DECL is true. REF1_ALIAS_SET, BASE1_ALIAS_SET, REF2_ALIAS_SET and BASE2_ALIAS_SET are the respective alias sets.
If one reference is a component references through pointers try to find a
common base and apply offset based disambiguation. This handles
for example
struct A { int i; int j; } *q;
struct B { struct A a; int k; } *p;
disambiguating q->i and p->a.j.
Choose bases and base types to search for.
Now search for the type1 in the access path of ref2. This would be a common base for doing offset based disambiguation on.
If we couldn't compare types we have to bail out.
If we didn't find a common base, try the other way around.
If we couldn't compare types we have to bail out.
If we have two type access paths B1.path1 and B2.path2 they may only alias if either B1 is in B2.path2 or B2 is in B1.path1. But we can still have a path that goes B1.path1...B2.path2 with a part that we do not see. So we can only disambiguate now if there is no B2 in the tail of path1 and no B1 on the tail of path2.
If this is ptr vs. decl then we know there is no ptr ... decl path.

If the call in statement CALL may clobber the memory reference REF return true, otherwise return false.
|
static |
If the call in statement CALL may clobber the memory reference REF return true, otherwise return false.
If the call is pure or const it cannot clobber anything.
A call that is not without side-effects might involve volatile accesses and thus conflicts with all other volatile accesses.
If the reference is based on a decl that is not aliased the call cannot possibly clobber it.
But local non-readonly statics can be modified through recursion
or the call may implement a threading barrier which we must
treat as may-def. Handle those builtin functions explicitly that do not act as escape points. See tree-ssa-structalias.c:find_func_aliases for the list of builtins we might need to handle here.
All the following functions clobber memory pointed to by
their first argument. Don't pass in size for strncat, as the maximum size
is strlen (dest) + n + 1 instead of n, resp.
n + 1 at dest + strlen (dest), but strlen (dest) isn't
known. Don't pass in size for __strncat_chk, as the maximum size
is strlen (dest) + n + 1 instead of n, resp.
n + 1 at dest + strlen (dest), but strlen (dest) isn't
known. Allocating memory does not have any side-effects apart from
being the definition point for the pointer. Unix98 specifies that errno is set on allocation failure.
Freeing memory kills the pointed-to memory. More importantly
the call has to serve as a barrier for moving loads and stores
across it. __sync_* builtins and some OpenMP builtins act as threading
barriers. This file contains the definitions and documentation for the synchronization builtins used in the GNU compiler. Copyright (C) 2005-2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Return true if an indirect reference based on *PTR1 constrained to [OFFSET1, OFFSET1 + MAX_SIZE1) may alias a variable based on BASE2 constrained to [OFFSET2, OFFSET2 + MAX_SIZE2). *PTR1 and BASE2 have the alias sets BASE1_ALIAS_SET and BASE2_ALIAS_SET which can be -1 in which case they are computed on-demand. REF1 and REF2 if non-NULL are the complete memory reference trees.
The offset embedded in MEM_REFs can be negative. Bias them so that the resulting offset adjustment is positive.
If only one reference is based on a variable, they cannot alias if the pointer access is beyond the extent of the variable access. (the pointer base cannot validly point to an offset less than zero of the variable). ??? IVOPTs creates bases that do not honor this restriction, so do not apply this optimization for TARGET_MEM_REFs.
They also cannot alias if the pointer may not point to the decl.
Disambiguations that rely on strict aliasing rules follow.
If the alias set for a pointer access is zero all bets are off.
When we are trying to disambiguate an access with a pointer dereference as base versus one with a decl as base we can use both the size of the decl and its dynamic type for extra disambiguation. ??? We do not know anything about the dynamic type of the decl other than that its alias-set contains base2_alias_set as a subset which does not help us here.
As we know nothing useful about the dynamic type of the decl just use the usual conflict check rather than a subset test. ??? We could introduce -fvery-strict-aliasing when the language does not allow decls to have a dynamic type that differs from their static type. Then we can check !alias_set_subset_of (base1_alias_set, base2_alias_set) instead.
If the size of the access relevant for TBAA through the pointer is bigger than the size of the decl we can't possibly access the decl via that pointer.
??? This in turn may run afoul when a decl of type T which is
a member of union type U is accessed through a pointer to
type U and sizeof T is smaller than sizeof U. If the decl is accessed via a MEM_REF, reconstruct the base we can use for TBAA and an appropriately adjusted offset.
If either reference is view-converted, give up now.
If both references are through the same type, they do not alias if the accesses do not overlap. This does extra disambiguation for mixed/pointer accesses but requires strict aliasing. For MEM_REFs we require that the component-ref offset we computed is relative to the start of the type which we ensure by comparing rvalue and access type and disregarding the constant pointer offset.
Do access-path based disambiguation.

Return true if we can determine that component references REF1 and REF2, that are within a common DECL, cannot overlap.
Create the stack of handled components for REF1.
Create the stack of handled components for REF2.
We must have the same base DECL.
Pop the stacks in parallel and examine the COMPONENT_REFs of the same rank. This is sufficient because we start from the same DECL and you cannot reference several fields at a time with COMPONENT_REFs (unlike with ARRAY_RANGE_REFs for arrays) so you always need the same number of them to access a sub-component, unless you're in a union, in which case the return value will precisely be false.
Beware of BIT_FIELD_REF.
??? We cannot simply use the type of operand #0 of the refs here
as the Fortran compiler smuggles type punning into COMPONENT_REFs
for common blocks instead of using unions like everyone else. We cannot disambiguate fields in a union or qualified union.
Different fields of the same record type cannot overlap.

But, even in the case of a fixed size, type and subtypes are not equivalent enough as to share the same TYPE_CANONICAL, since this would mean that conversions between them are useless, whereas they are not (e.g. type and subtypes can have different modes).

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with GCC; see the file COPYING3. If not see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/. Broad overview of how alias analysis on gimple works:
Statements clobbering or using memory are linked through the virtual operand factored use-def chain. The virtual operand is unique per function, its symbol is accessible via gimple_vop (cfun). Virtual operands are used for efficiently walking memory statements in the gimple IL and are useful for things like value-numbering as a generation count for memory references.
SSA_NAME pointers may have associated points-to information accessible via the SSA_NAME_PTR_INFO macro. Flow-insensitive points-to information is (re-)computed by the TODO_rebuild_alias pass manager todo. Points-to information is also used for more precise tracking of call-clobbered and call-used variables and related disambiguations.
This file contains functions for disambiguating memory references, the so called alias-oracle and tools for walking of the gimple IL.
The main alias-oracle entry-points are
bool stmt_may_clobber_ref_p (gimple, tree)
This function queries if a statement may invalidate (parts of) the memory designated by the reference tree argument.
bool ref_maybe_used_by_stmt_p (gimple, tree)
This function queries if a statement may need (parts of) the memory designated by the reference tree argument.
There are variants of these functions that only handle the call part of a statement, call_may_clobber_ref_p and ref_maybe_used_by_call_p. Note that these do not disambiguate against a possible call lhs.
bool refs_may_alias_p (tree, tree)
This function tries to disambiguate two reference trees.
bool ptr_deref_may_alias_global_p (tree)
This function queries if dereferencing a pointer variable may alias global memory.
More low-level disambiguators are available and documented in this file. Low-level disambiguators dealing with points-to information are in tree-ssa-structalias.c. Query statistics for the different low-level disambiguators. A high-level query may trigger multiple of them.
