Member Function Documentation

◆ 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.

◆ extendTo()

AAMDNodes llvm::AAMDNodes::extendTo ( ssize_t Len ) const

inline

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.

◆ intersect()

AAMDNodes llvm::AAMDNodes::intersect ( const AAMDNodes & Other ) const

inline

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.
