Subject: teach DSE to use GetPointerBaseWithConstantOffset to analyze
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a04096580a65b6cfbe12dabf6d695f7303750c0d;p=oota-llvm.git

teach DSE to use GetPointerBaseWithConstantOffset to analyze
may-aliasing stores that partially overlap with different base
pointers.  This implements PR6043 and the non-variable part of
PR8657
