[RFC] Improving alias dumps


Hi,

After spending some time looking at ealias/pta dumps, I realized that they're hard to understand because we use varinfo names to identify varinfos, while those names are not necessarily unique.

F.i., for a function f:
...
void
f (int *__restrict__ a, int *__restrict__ b)
{
  *a = 1;
  *b = 2;
}
...

we have at ealias the constraints:
...
a = &PARM_NOALIAS
PARM_NOALIAS = NONLOCAL
b = &PARM_NOALIAS
PARM_NOALIAS = NONLOCAL
derefaddrtmp = &NONLOCAL
*a = derefaddrtmp
derefaddrtmp = &NONLOCAL
*b = derefaddrtmp
...
F.i. PARM_NOALIAS occurs several times, and it's not clear if there are one or two varinfos with that name.

Using attached patch, it's clearer what varinfos the constraints relate to:
...
a(8) = &PARM_NOALIAS(9)
PARM_NOALIAS(9) = NONLOCAL(5)
b(10) = &PARM_NOALIAS(11)
PARM_NOALIAS(11) = NONLOCAL(5)
derefaddrtmp(12) = &NONLOCAL(5)
*a(8) = derefaddrtmp(12)
derefaddrtmp(13) = &NONLOCAL(5)
*b(10) = derefaddrtmp(13)
...

It this a good idea, f.i. guarded by (dump_flags & TDF_DETAILS) not to disturb scans of current tests?

Or, do we f.i. want to fix the names themselves to be unique?

Thanks,
- Tom
