//
// This file defines the generic AliasAnalysis interface, which is used as the
// common interface used by all clients of alias analysis information, and
// implemented by all alias analysis implementations.  Mod/Ref information is
// also captured by this interface.
//
// Implementations of this interface must implement the various virtual methods,
// which automatically provides functionality for the entire suite of client
// APIs.
//
// This API identifies memory regions with the Location class. The pointer
// component specifies the base memory address of the region. The Size specifies
// the maximum size (in address units) of the memory region, or UnknownSize if
// the size is not known. The TBAA tag identifies the "type" of the memory
// reference; see the TypeBasedAliasAnalysis class for details.
//
// Some non-obvious details include:
//  - Pointers that point to two completely different objects in memory never
//    alias, regardless of the value of the Size component.
//  - NoAlias doesn't imply inequal pointers. The most obvious example of this
//    is two pointers to constant memory. Even if they are equal, constant
//    memory is never stored to, so there will never be any dependencies.
//    In this and other situations, the pointers may be both NoAlias and
//    MustAlias at the same time. The current API can only return one result,
//    though this is rarely a problem in practice.
