[BasicAA] Fix handling of invariant group launders
ClosedPublic

Authored by amharc on May 15 2018, 1:10 PM.

Details

Summary

A recent patch (rL331587) to Capture Tracking taught it that the launder_invariant_group intrinsic captures its argument only by returning it. Unfortunately, BasicAA still considered every call instruction as a possible escape source and hence concluded that the result of a launder_invariant_group call cannot alias any local non-escaping value. This led to bug 37458.

This patch updates the relevant check for escape sources in BasicAA.

I went throught it and it looks good to me, I didn't expect that fixing CaptureTracking can lead Alias Analisis to return NoAlias instead of MustAlias. It would be nice if the code would check for such assumptions, but I have no ideas how it could be implemented.

We should also have a direct AA test (something like test/Analysis/BasicAA/cs-cs.ll).

Also, let's not repeat this problem in the future. Please add a comment both here and in CaptureTracking to remind people that intrinsics added to once place must be added to the other place.

Don't need the { } here.
