// This file defines the generic AliasAnalysis interface, which is used as the
// common interface used by all clients of alias analysis information, and
-// implemented by all alias analysis implementations.
+// implemented by all alias analysis implementations. Mod/Ref information is
+// also captured by this interface.
//
// Implementations of this interface must implement the various virtual methods,
// which automatically provides functionality for the entire suite of client
// APIs.
//
+// This API represents memory as a (Pointer, Size) pair. The Pointer component
+// specifies the base memory address of the region, the Size specifies how large
+// of an area is being queried. If Size is 0, two pointers only alias if they
+// are exactly equal. If size is greater than zero, but small, the two pointers
+// alias if the areas pointed to overlap. If the size is very large (ie, ~0U),
+// then the two pointers alias if they may be pointing to components of the same
+// memory object. Pointers that point to two completely different objects in
+// memory never alias, regardless of the value of the Size component.
