Modifying GIMPLE/SSA tree to collect memory accesses

[Srinivas Pasupuleti]

I want to print for each modify statement in GIMPLE tree, the address
that data is written to (store) and the addresses from which data is
accessed (load).

I need this to build a dynamic data dependency graph based on memory
store and memory loads.

When the optimization flag is not used, I'm able to print the memory
accesses. I want to do the same with the optimization flag turned on,
but there is some consistency problems due to some GCC passes like
(dfa, ssa-alias etc).

Thanks,
Srinivas
