ALIAS_SET_MEMORY_BARRIER

#define ALIAS_SET_MEMORY_BARRIER   ((alias_set_type) -1)

This alias set can be used to force a memory to conflict with all
other memories, creating a barrier across which no memory reference
can move.  Note that there are other legacy ways to create such
memory barriers, including an address of SCRATCH.

bool objects_must_conflict_p ( tree t1, tree t2 )

extern

Return true if any MEM object of type T1 will always conflict (using the
dependency routines in this file) with any MEM object of type T2.
This is used when allocating temporary storage.  If T1 and/or T2 are
NULL_TREE, it means we know nothing about the storage.

record_alias_subset()

void record_alias_subset ( alias_set_type superset, alias_set_type subset )

extern

Indicate that things in SUBSET can alias things in SUPERSET, but that
not everything that aliases SUPERSET also aliases SUBSET.  For example,
in C, a store to an `int' can alias a load of a structure containing an
`int', and vice versa.  But it can't alias a load of a 'double' member
of the same structure.  Here, the structure would be the SUPERSET and
`int' the SUBSET.  This relationship is also described in the comment at
the beginning of this file.

This function should be called only once per SUPERSET/SUBSET pair.

It is illegal for SUPERSET to be zero; everything is implicitly a
subset of alias set zero.

record_component_aliases()

void record_component_aliases ( tree type )

extern

Record that component types of TYPE, if any, are part of that type for
aliasing purposes.  For record types, we only record component types
for fields that are not marked non-addressable.  For array types, we
only record the component type if it is not marked non-aliased.

reference_alias_ptr_type()

tree reference_alias_ptr_type

(

tree

t

)

Return the pointer-type relevant for TBAA purposes from the
gimple memory reference tree T.  This is the type to be used for
the offset operand of MEM_REF or TARGET_MEM_REF replacements of T
and guarantees that get_alias_set will return the same alias
set for T and the replacement.

(

tree *

memory reference tree *T or NULL_TREE in which case *T is
adjusted to point to the outermost component reference that
can be used for assigning an alias set.

refs_same_for_tbaa_p()

view_converted_memref_p()

bool view_converted_memref_p

(

Return true if access with BASE is view converted.
Base must not be stripped from inner MEM_REF (&decl)
which is done by ao_ref_base and thus one extra walk
of handled components is needed.
