    There is the DSA points-to analysis in the poolalloc project.  It
    works with an older version of LLVM and will be more difficult to
    use, but it's a unification-based analysis.  Just be forewarned that
    it's not as accurate as it was when originally written (due to
    reduced field sensitivity due to changes to LLVM over time; it's a
    long story explained during another recent thread).<br>

        <div>I have tried the 3 alias analyses you have mentioned on
          LLVM 3.5:</div>
        <div>1) $ opt -globalsmodref-aa -aa-eval < xxx.bc >
          /dev/null </div>

        <div>(May-alias response 100%)</div>
        <div>3) $ opt -cfl-aa -aa-eval < xxx.bc> /dev/null</div>
        <div> (Unknown command line argument '-cfl-aa')<br>
        </div>
        <div><br>

        <div>It seems that they are not working properly. Could you

    That doesn't look right at all, but I'm not sure what's causing the
    issue.  That said, since we don't know how xxx.bc was created (or
    what it contains), it'll be hard for anyone to pinpoint the problem.<br>
