llvm dev - Mar 2007 - [LLVMdev] Where are those complex aliase analysis passes like steens-aa now?

hi,
    The llvm alias analysis doc mentioned that llvm have various alias analysis
passes, e.g. steens-aa; but I can't find it in llvm 2.0. Are these passes
obsoleted? Thanks.

I think that Steensgaard was part of the data structure analysis which
has been moved out of llvm. We currently have -basicaa,
-globalsmodref-aa, and anders-aa. The latter two are in the
lib/Analysis/IPA directory.

The ds-aa and steens-aa passes are all available in the llvm- 
poolalloc project, in lib/DSA.  They were moved there because  
Microsoft holds a patent on parts of the underlying pointer analysis  
strategy.  anders-aa is still in mainline llvm.
