This PR proposes a client for counting the number of variable pairs that are may-aliases.
Formally, a pair of variables
uandvare considered may-aliases if the points-to-set ofuandv(i.e.,pts(u)andpts(v)) are not disjoint.The number of may-alias variables is often used as a metric to evaluate the precision of a pointer analysis algorithm.
In this PR, a pointer analysis client
MayAliasPairis implemented to compute the number of may-alias variable pairs. The proposed implementation is parallel and should be faster than the naive implementation used in the unit testMayAliasPairTest, who simply iterates all variable pairs and test if their points-to-sets are disjoint.
