This PR proposes a client for counting the number of variable pairs that are may-aliases.
Formally, a pair of variables
u
andv
are considered may-aliases if the points-to-set ofu
andv
(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
MayAliasPair
is 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.
