// This file implements a CFL-based, summary-based alias analysis algorithm. It
// differs from CFLSteensAliasAnalysis in its inclusion-based nature while
// CFLSteensAliasAnalysis is unification-based. This pass has worse performance
// than CFLSteensAliasAnalysis (the worst case complexity of
// CFLAndersAliasAnalysis is cubic, while the worst case complexity of
// CFLSteensAliasAnalysis is almost linear), but it is able to yield more
// precise analysis result. The precision of this analysis is roughly the same
// as that of an one level context-sensitive Andersen's algorithm.
//
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

// N.B. AliasAnalysis as a whole is phrased as a FunctionPass at the moment, and
// CFLAndersAA is interprocedural. This is *technically* A Bad Thing, because
// FunctionPasses are only allowed to inspect the Function that they're being
// run on. Realistically, this likely isn't a problem until we allow
// FunctionPasses to run concurrently.
