we _always_ see ssa_name_1 = a; use (ssa_name_1); so you have a place to associate your flow-sensitive and context-sensitive points-to-info with (the SSA name). My point is that for _using_ the points-to info flow-sensitivity provided by SSA form is enough. For computing it you of course need to flow-sensitively process assignments to 'a'.
This is VERY interesting! I had not thought about the difference between computing and using values. Now that you point it out, I think all we need to do is to map flow-sensitively computed values to ssa names. What about variables that do not have ssa names? Or are you saying that all such variables would be copied into an artificial variables that have ssa names? I seem to observe this in the dumps but I don't know if it holds in general. Uday.
