[flang][NFCI] Stop tracking memory source after a load in a more explicit manner. (#126156)

Typically, we do not track memory sources after a load because of the
dynamic nature of the load and the fact that the alias analysis is a
simple static analysis.

However, the code is written in a way that makes it seem like we are
continuing to track memory but in reality we are only doing so when we
know that the tracked memory is a leaf and therefore when there will
only be one more iteration through the switch statement. In other words,
we are iterating one more time, to gather data about a box, anticipating
that this will be the last time. This is a hack that helped avoid
cut-and-paste from other case statements but gives the wrong impression
about the intention of the code and makes it confusing.

To make it clear that there is no more tracking, we gather all the
necessary data from the memref of the load, in the case statement for
the load, and exit the loop. I am also limiting this data gathering for
the case when we load a box reference while we were actually following
data, as tests have shows, is the only case when we need it for. Other
cases will be handled conservatively, but this can change in the future,
on a case-by-case basis.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

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.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM
