BasicAA treats it conservatively if used on its own. It will return mayalias for the two pointers. TBAA operates based on the guarantee that pointers to different types cannot alias (think C's strict aliasing rules). Therein lies its power but also its danger, that is, nothing prevents the programmer to write code that violates these rules (That's why we have -fno-strict-aliasing). So

Hi there, I'm having a hard time with promoting operands from i1 to i32 in my backend... I have to register classes, VTs are i1 and i32. The i1 registers are only for predication and conditional jumps, so I want to use them with brcond, setcc. There are no instructions to directly load a value in an i1 register or to copy between i1 and i32, so I need the DAG Legalizing Pass to not generate

Hello all, I am a LLVM newer who want to add a new backend(EBC) into LLVM. After coping the related files from another target and modifying it, I meet a problem when I build the project. The error message is as follows: ================================================================ [ 94%] Built target llvm-dis Linking CXX executable ../../bin/llvm-mc Undefined symbols:
