[PATCH] check alias sets in add_inter_loop_mem_dep (ddg.c)

["Bingfeng Mei" <bmei at broadcom dot com>]

Hello,
I have a following patch to detect if memory references of two instructions belong to non-conflicting alias sets. It is used in inter-loop dependence analysis (ddg.c) by modulo scheduler. For the following testcase, GCC will produce better code due to better memory dependency info. In fact, powperpc-gcc cannot software pipeline this loop without the patch. OK for mainline? Should I also include this test in the patch? 

/* {dg-do run} */
/* {dg-options "-O2 -fmodulo-sched -w"} */
void foo( int * __restrict__ a, int * __restrict__ b, int * __restrict__ c)
{
   int i;
   for(i = 0; i < 100; i+=4)
     {
       a[i] = b[i] * c[i];
       a[i+1] = b[i+1] * c[i+1];
       a[i+2] = b[i+2] * c[i+2];
       a[i+3] = b[i+3] * c[i+3];
     }
}   


int a[100], b[100], c[100];
int main()
{
  int i, res;
  for(i = 0; i < 100; i++)
    {
      b[i] = c[i] = i;
    }  
  foo(a, b, c);
  
  res = 0;  
  for(i = 0; i < 100; i++)
    {
      res += a[i];
    }
  if(res != 328350)
    abort();
  
  return 0;        
}

This is the first time I try to submit a patch. Hope it conforms to the coding style, patch format, etc. Additionally, my company (Broadcom) has already signed coporate copyright form with FSF.

	*alias.c (walk_mems_1, walk_mems_2, insn_alias_sets_conflict_p): Check
	whether two instructions have memory references that belong to conflicting alias sets. 
	walk_mems_1 and walk_mems_2 are helper functions for traversing
	*alias.h (insn_alias_sets_confilict_p): new prototypes
	*ddg.c (add_inter_loop_mem_dep): call insn_alias_sets_conflict_p not to draw dependency edge
	for instructions with non-conflicting alias sets.
