◆ adjustForAccess() [3/3]

AAMDNodes AAMDNodes::adjustForAccess ( unsigned AccessSize )

Create a new AAMDNode for accessing AccessSize bytes of this AAMDNode.

If this AAMDNode has !tbaa.struct and AccessSize matches the size of the field at offset 0, get the TBAA tag describing the accessed field. If such an AAMDNode already embeds !tbaa, the existing one is retrieved. Finally, !tbaa.struct is zeroed out.

Definition at line 827 of file TypeBasedAliasAnalysis.cpp.

◆ concat()

AAMDNodes AAMDNodes::concat ( const AAMDNodes & Other ) const

Determine the best AAMDNodes after concatenating two different locations together.

Different from merge, where different locations should overlap each other, concat puts non-overlapping locations together.

Create a new AAMDNode that describes this AAMDNode after extending it to apply to a series of bytes of length Len.

A size of -1 denotes an unknown size.

Given two sets of AAMDNodes that apply to the same pointer, give the best AAMDNodes that are compatible with both (i.e.

a set of nodes whose allowable aliasing conclusions are a subset of those allowable by both of the inputs). However, for efficiency reasons, do not create any new MDNodes.
