Dear LLVM devs, My GSoC project this year is about alias analysis, and I wrote a short article describing what I've done during the summer: https://github.com/grievejia/GSoC2016/raw/master/writeup.pdf In the report you can find an overview of what the current status of CFL-AA. There are also some numbers in the end, but please take those numbers with a grain of salt as they were rather preliminary. Like I mentioned in the article, there are still *lots of* thi...

Hi, I'm looking for interprocedural AAs and have, of course, found https://llvm.org/docs/AliasAnalysis.html. However, the AAs that come bundled with LLVM do not work interprocedurally in a way that I need it (on/with stack variables). The two interesting looking AAs come with the optional `poolalloc' module that hasn't been updated in years (I guess

dear LLVMers, I am trying to use some of the LLVM alias analyses, and I would like to check two things with you: is scev-aa being maintained in LLVM 3.7? Second question: I run cfl-aa, and I got a very small number of pointer disambiguation (no alias) with it. My results for SPEC CINT 2006 follow below. Is this low number of no alias responses something to be excepted? Below the results that I

Dear all, I want to implement a pass that provides some kind of data flow integrity similar to Write Integrity Testing (https://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~cristic/papers/wit-sp-ieee-08.pdf). This approach statically determines for each memory write the (conservative, overapproximated) points-to set of locations that can be written by the instruction. Further, it instruments the memory write instruction

Hi David, I am the one who's responsible for CFLAA's refactoring in the summer. I've sent out another email on llvm-dev, and you can find more about my work in my GSoC final report. I think it is fantastic that you have done such an interesting work. I'll definitely try to help getting the code reviewed and merged in the current. After a quick glance at your patch, it seems
