VRP maintains a points to class on the side in
value-pointer-equiv.{cc,h}. It is wired in with the rvrp_folder class
and manages both a global list of pointer equivalences, as well as
contextual equivalences which are pushed/popped during the dominator walk.
It was always the intention to eventually integrate this into prange
itself. The hope is to then leverage this into replacing the fragile
pointer_query code that is used in various places, including the warning
system that had been problematic the past few years.
Of course, This will be for stage 1 when it opens in the spring. However
a couple of people have expressed an interest in the work, so I post the
initial patchset here for the curious. It applies to trunk as of Dec
17/2025.
Its also a good example of how to enhance a range class.
This is a Work In Progress and not final by any means, but it does
bootstrap and mostly passes all the tests in the testsuite. It also
"gets" everything the old VRP PTA side structure found, and finds an
additonal 650+ equivalences in a bootstrap. A few tests are adjusted
because the new PTA is more aggressive and the some test lines are now
invalid as we eliminate things they don't expect.
There are 4 patches total.
0001-Miscelaneous-updates-to-prep-for-points-to.patch
These are mostly minor tweaks required to set up for the points to
info. Some of this will be revisited.
0002-Points-to-functionaility-for-prange.patch
This is the actual points to implementation - prange structural
changes, range-op propagation changes , and range-fold changes to
populate the info.
0003-Default-to-prange-PTA-and-generate-debug-info.patch
This turns rangers PTA on by default and compares it to what the side
table generates in debug output.
0004-Testcase-adjustments-required-to-pass.patch
These are the tweaks required to a few testcases to not fail.
