[llvm-dev] Testing CFL alias analysis

[Jia Chen via llvm-dev]

Hello everyone,

If you've read through my previous introduction email 
(http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-May/099573.html), you can 
safely ignore this message.

The short story is: CFL-AA does not seem to be broken anymore. Please 
try it out and help us find more bugs / performance issues if switching 
to it in the future sounds interesting to you.

Here are more backgrounds: I was working on a GSoC project, whose first 
step is to fix cfl-aa. After a bug was patched up in r268269, 
bootstrapping llvm+clang with standalone cfl-aa as well as 
cfl-aa+basicaa breaks nothing in llvm test-suite. It shows that cfl-aa 
is in a pretty good shape today and are almost ready to be turned out by 
default. But before we can do this, we'd like to gather enough evidences 
that it is a safe move. A more thorough description of the current 
status can be found in the link provided at the beginning of this message.

To compile your codes with cfl-aa turned on, simply add " -mllvm 
-use-cfl-aa -mllvm -use-cfl-aa-in-codegen" option to the clang command 
line arguments.
