        <div>Thanks for the reply.</div>
        <div>I am looking for a pass for the intra-procedural alias
          analyzing, as i am working on multithreaded debugging and
          looking for a way to pick up instructions from different
          threads accessing the same global variable, and is Steensguard
          workable for this scenario? or any other suggestions?</div>

    The local DSA pass provides a shape graph of each function, and it
    uses the Incomplete and External flags to mark for which nodes in
    the shape graph it does not have complete information.  I think you
    could use the Local DSA pass directly to determine which
    instructions are accessing global variables.<br>

        <div>I also find that the "rDSA" folder is not included in the
          Makefile, and this means the -dsa-aa pass is still not
          reliable and probably i cannot use it, right?</div>

    The rDSA directory contained an altered version of the DSA
    implementation.  We eventually abandoned it and removed it.  The
    code you found in rDSA either is or was at some point part of DSA.<br>

              I do not believe that the status has changed.  I believe
              the -dsa-aa pass in DSA is still removed and has not been
              resurrected (at least not with a patch that applied
              cleanly to the release_32 branch).<br>
              <br>
              If someone wants to resurrect -dsa-aa with a patch that
              cleanly applies to the release_32 branch or the trunk
              branch, I'll review it and apply it.<br>
