Also: pointer.Analyze now returns a pointer.Result object, containing the callgraph and the results of ssa.Value queries. The oracle has been updated to use the new call and pointer APIs. R=crawshaw, gri CC=golang-dev https://golang.org/cl/13915043

Pointer analysis to-do list
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
CONSTRAINT GENERATION:
|
|
- support reflection
|
|
- implement native intrinsics. These vary by platform.
|
|
- unsafe.Pointer conversions. Three options:
|
|
1) unsoundly (but type-safely) treat p=unsafe.Pointer(x) conversions as
|
|
allocations, losing aliases. This is what's currently implemented.
|
|
2) unsoundly (but type-safely) treat p=unsafe.Pointer(x) and T(p)
|
|
conversions as interface boxing and unboxing operations.
|
|
This may preserve some aliasing relations at little cost.
|
|
3) soundly track physical field offsets. (Summarise dannyb's email here.)
|
|
A downside is that we can't keep the identity field of struct
|
|
allocations that identifies the object.
|

PRESOLVER OPTIMISATIONS
|
|
- use HVN, HRU, LE, PE, HCD, LCD.
|
|
|
|
SOLVER:
|
|
- use BDDs and/or sparse bitvectors for ptsets
|
|
- use sparse bitvectors for graph edges
|
|
- use BDD-based relational composition for e.g. offset computations.
|
|
- experiment with different worklist algorithms:
|
|
priority queue (solver visit-time order)
|
|
red-black tree (node id order)
|
|
double-ended queue (insertion order)
|
|
fast doubly-linked list (See Zhanh et al PLDI'13)
|
|
(insertion order with fast membership test)
|
|
dannyb recommends sparse bitmap.
|
|
|
|
API:
|
|
- Some optimisations (e.g. LE, PE) may change the API.
|
|
Think about them sooner rather than later.
|
|
- Eliminate Print probe now that we can query specific ssa.Values.
|
|
|
|
Misc:
|
|
- os.Args should point to something; currently they don't.
|
|
- Test on all platforms.
|
|
Currently we assume these go/build tags: linux, amd64, !cgo.
