Detailed Description

template<class T, bool UseOptimizedChain = false>
struct llvm::def_chain_iterator< T, UseOptimizedChain >

Walks the defining accesses of MemoryDefs.

Stops after we hit something that has no defining use (e.g. a MemoryPhi or liveOnEntry). Note that, when comparing against a null def_chain_iterator, this will compare equal only after walking said Phi/liveOnEntry.

The UseOptimizedChain flag specifies whether to walk the clobbering access chain, or all the accesses.

Normally, MemoryDef are all just def/use linked together, so a def_chain on a MemoryDef will walk all MemoryDefs above it in the program until it hits a phi node. The optimized chain walks the clobbering access of a store. So if you are just trying to find, given a store, what the next thing that would clobber the same memory is, you want the optimized chain.
