[PATCH] D112466: [NVPTX] Drop memory references of LDG/LDU

[Andrew Savonichev via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

asavonic added a comment.

I think the current patch is the way to go: we want to treat LDU and LDG as regular instructions and exclude them from memory analysis. Therefore memory references are not needed and we can drop them.

`pointsToConstantMemory` or other AA functions do not seem to cover this case, because they operate on memory locations (pointers), and not on instructions themselves. Pointer operands for LDU and LDG are from global address space, and if I'm reading the PTX spec right, LDU can also load from generic address space.
