[AA][BasicAA] Move more call logic to BasicAA (#131144) Currently, the handling for calls is split between AA and BasicAA in an awkward way. BasicAA does argument alias analysis for non-escaping objects (but without considering MemoryEffects), while AA handles the generic case using MemoryEffects. However, fundamentally, both of these are really trying to do the same thing. The new merged logic first tries to remove the OtherMR component of the memory effects, which includes accesses to escaped memory. If a function-local object does not escape, OtherMR can be set to NoModRef. Then we perform the argument scan in basically the same way as AA previously did. However, we also need to look at the operand bundles. To support that, I've adjusted getArgModRefInfo to accept operand bundle arguments.
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
