Hello,
I got a strange result when I used alias analysis DSAA, can you tell what is
wrong?
1. The following is the primary body of my pass "fps.cpp":
AliasAnalysis *AA = &getAnalysis<AliasAnalysis>();
AliasSetTracker AST(*AA);
for (Module::iterator fi = M.begin(), fe = M.end(); fi != fe; ++fi )
for (Function::iterator bi = fi->begin(), be = fi->end(); bi != be; ++bi)
AST.add(*bi);
for (AliasSetTracker::iterator I = AST.begin(), E = AST.end(); I != E; ++I) {
AliasSet &AS = *I;
AS.print (std::cerr);
}
2. The follwoing is the test program "hello.cpp":
int *a, *b;
int main() {
int t;
a = &t;
b = &t;
printf ("%d, %d", a, b);
}
3. I compiled the test program with "llvm-gcc hello.cpp -o hello", and made alias
analysis with:
opt -ds-aa -load ../Debug/lib/fps.so -FPS < hello.bc > /dev/null
opt printed that:
AliasSet[XXXX,1] must alis, Mod Pointers: (sbyte** %a, 4)
AliasSet[YYYY,1] must alis, Mod Pointers: (sbyte** %b, 4)
I donot know why "a" and "b" are not alias? They donot point to a same memory
object? But, when I donot use DSAA, that is, "opt -load ../Debug/lib/fps.so -FPS <
hello.bc > /dev/null", "a" and "b" are alias!
Thanks.
