Subject: Rework the logic that determines if a store completely overlaps an ealier store.
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=150c4a1a89478f36af776f9146288afd528b33da;p=oota-llvm.git

Rework the logic that determines if a store completely overlaps an ealier store.

There are two ways that a later store can comletely overlap a previous store:

1. They both start at the same offset, but the earlier store's size is <= the
   later's size, or
2. The earlier store's offset is > the later's offset, but it's offset + size
   doesn't extend past the later's offset + size.
