[BasicAA] Reduce no of map searches. Assert map entry exists. [NFCI]
ClosedPublic

Summary

This is a refactoring patch.

  • Reduce the number of map searches by reusing the iterator.
  • Add asserts to check that the entry is in the cache, as this is something BasicAA relies on to avoid infinite recursion.

While it's a bit awkward, I'd create a scope here because re-using CacheIt will be so tempting and is wrong.

AliasResult OrigAliasResult;
{
  // Limited lifetime iterator as we can't re-use it once we begin processing.
  auto CacheIt = AliasCache.find(Locs);
  ...
}

Here and below, the original code does the same number of lookups and seems more clear?

Yes, that's true. This change refers to the second bullet point in the summary: adding the assert to check an entry was already in the map and it should only be updated here, never created.
I got tripped by this by accidentally clearing the cache and going into an infinite recursion.

Let me know if you'd prefer this in a separate change or the title updated to include this.

LGTM, really nice!

No, I'd missed that this was enabling the assert, and I understand why that's valuable here, thanks.
