9 // This file defines the TypeBasedAliasAnalysis pass, which implements
10 // metadata-based TBAA.
11 //
12 // In LLVM IR, memory does not have types, so LLVM's own type system is not
13 // suitable for doing TBAA. Instead, metadata is added to the IR to describe
14 // a type system of a higher level language. This can be used to implement
15 // typical C/C++ TBAA, but it can also be used to implement custom alias
16 // analysis behavior for other languages.
17 //
18 // We now support two types of metadata format: scalar TBAA and struct-path
19 // aware TBAA. After all testing cases are upgraded to use struct-path aware
20 // TBAA and we can auto-upgrade existing bc files, the support for scalar TBAA
21 // can be dropped.
22 //
23 // The scalar TBAA metadata format is very simple. TBAA MDNodes have up to
24 // three fields, e.g.:
25 // !0 = !{ !"an example type tree" }
26 // !1 = !{ !"int", !0 }
27 // !2 = !{ !"float", !0 }
28 // !3 = !{ !"const float", !2, i64 1 }
29 //
30 // The first field is an identity field. It can be any value, usually
31 // an MDString, which uniquely identifies the type. The most important
32 // name in the tree is the name of the root node. Two trees with
33 // different root node names are entirely disjoint, even if they
34 // have leaves with common names.
35 //
36 // The second field identifies the type's parent node in the tree, or
37 // is null or omitted for a root node. A type is considered to alias
38 // all of its descendants and all of its ancestors in the tree. Also,
39 // a type is considered to alias all types in other trees, so that
40 // bitcode produced from multiple front-ends is handled conservatively.
41 //
42 // If the third field is present, it's an integer which if equal to 1
43 // indicates that the type is "constant" (meaning pointsToConstantMemory
44 // should return true; see
45 // http://llvm.org/docs/AliasAnalysis.html#OtherItfs).
46 //
47 // With struct-path aware TBAA, the MDNodes attached to an instruction using
48 // "!tbaa" are called path tag nodes.
49 //
50 // The path tag node has 4 fields with the last field being optional.
51 //
52 // The first field is the base type node, it can be a struct type node
53 // or a scalar type node. The second field is the access type node, it
54 // must be a scalar type node. The third field is the offset into the base type.
55 // The last field has the same meaning as the last field of our scalar TBAA:
56 // it's an integer which if equal to 1 indicates that the access is "constant".
57 //
58 // The struct type node has a name and a list of pairs, one pair for each member
59 // of the struct. The first element of each pair is a type node (a struct type
60 // node or a scalar type node), specifying the type of the member, the second
61 // element of each pair is the offset of the member.
62 //
63 // Given an example
64 // typedef struct {
65 // short s;
66 // } A;
67 // typedef struct {
68 // uint16_t s;
69 // A a;
70 // } B;
71 //
72 // For an access to B.a.s, we attach !5 (a path tag node) to the load/store
73 // instruction. The base type is !4 (struct B), the access type is !2 (scalar
74 // type short) and the offset is 4.
75 //
76 // !0 = !{!"Simple C/C++ TBAA"}
77 // !1 = !{!"omnipotent char", !0} // Scalar type node
78 // !2 = !{!"short", !1} // Scalar type node
79 // !3 = !{!"A", !2, i64 0} // Struct type node
80 // !4 = !{!"B", !2, i64 0, !3, i64 4}
81 // // Struct type node
82 // !5 = !{!4, !2, i64 4} // Path tag node
83 //
84 // The struct type nodes and the scalar type nodes form a type DAG.
85 // Root (!0)
86 // char (!1) -- edge to Root
87 // short (!2) -- edge to char
88 // A (!3) -- edge with offset 0 to short
89 // B (!4) -- edge with offset 0 to short and edge with offset 4 to A
90 //
91 // To check if two tags (tagX and tagY) can alias, we start from the base type
92 // of tagX, follow the edge with the correct offset in the type DAG and adjust
93 // the offset until we reach the base type of tagY or until we reach the Root
94 // node.
95 // If we reach the base type of tagY, compare the adjusted offset with
96 // offset of tagY, return Alias if the offsets are the same, return NoAlias
97 // otherwise.
98 // If we reach the Root node, perform the above starting from base type of tagY
99 // to see if we reach base type of tagX.
100 //
101 // If they have different roots, they're part of different potentially
102 // unrelated type systems, so we return Alias to be conservative.
103 // If neither node is an ancestor of the other and they have the same root,
104 // then we say NoAlias.
