to optionally look for constant or local (alloca) memory.
Teach BasicAliasAnalysis::pointsToConstantMemory to look through Select
and Phi nodes, and to support looking for local memory.
Remove FunctionAttrs' PointsToLocalOrConstantMemory function, now that
AliasAnalysis knows all the tricks that it knew.

consider it to be readonly. In fact, don't even consider it to be
readonly if it does a volatile load from an AllocaInst either (it
is debatable as to whether readonly would be correct or not in this
case; play safe for the moment). This fixes PR8279.

phi nodes when deciding which pointers point to local memory.
I actually checked long ago how useful this is, and it isn't
very: it hardly ever fires in the testsuite, but since Chris
wants it here it is!

memcpy, memset and other intrinsics that only access their arguments
to be readnone if the intrinsic's arguments all point to local memory.
This improves the testcase in the README to readonly, but it could in
theory be made readnone, however this would involve more sophisticated
analysis that looks through the memcpy.

input filename so that opt doesn't print the input filename in the
output so that grep lines in the tests don't unintentionally match
strings in the input filename.

bits captured, but the pointer marked nocapture. In fact
I now recall that this problem is why only readnone functions
returning void were considered before! However keep a small
fix that was also in r70876: a readnone function returning
void can result in bits being captured if it unwinds, so
test for this.

the readnone. Since MallocInst is scheduled for deletion
it doesn't seem worth doing anything more subtle, such as
having mayWriteToMemory return true for MallocInst.

only capture their arguments by returning them or
throwing an exception or not based on the argument
value. Patch essentially by Frits van Bommel.

was it not very helpful, it was also wrong! The problem
is shown in the testcase: the alloca might be passed to
a nocapture callee which dereferences it and returns the
original pointer. But because it was a nocapture call we
think we don't need to track its uses, but we do.
llvm-svn: 61876
the argument to be stored to an alloca by tracking uses
of the alloca. This occurs 4 times (out of 7121, 0.05%)
in MultiSource/Applications, so may not be worth it. On
the other hand, it is easy to do and fairly cheap. The
functions it helps are: W_addcom and W_addlit in spiff;
process_args (argv) in d (make_dparser); ercPixConcealIMB
in JM/ldecod.

functions that don't write can't leak a pointer except through
the return value, so a void readonly function is implicitly nocapture.
Test these, and add a test that verifies that f1 calling f2 with an
otherwise dead pointer gets both of them marked nocapture.
llvm-svn: 61552
to work out (in a very simplistic way) which function
arguments (pointer arguments only) are only dereferenced
and so do not escape. Mark such arguments 'nocapture'.
