I don't see how that's impact by GEP vs. ADDS + MUL. Also, the analysis should have already been done and cached.

I don't see how that's impact by > GEP vs. ADDS + MUL.MachineSched can use AA for a lot more than that. I use AA during scheduling because, in addition to picking up loads from constant memory, it lets me do a kind of modulo scheduling for unrolled loops. AA can tell that loads and stores to different arrays don't alias, and loads and stores to different offsets of the same array don't alias.> Also, the analysis should have already been done > and cached.BasicAA has a cache internally, but as far as I can tell, only to guard against recursion (and it is emptied after each query).
