|
<p>The memory model used by the middle-end models that of the C/C++
|
||
|
|
languages. The middle-end has the notion of an effective type
|
||
|
|
of a memory region which is used for type-based alias analysis.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The following is a refinement of ISO C99 6.5/6, clarifying the block copy case
|
||
|
|
to follow common sense and extending the concept of a dynamic effective
|
||
|
|
type to objects with a declared type as required for C++.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
||
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">The effective type of an object for an access to its stored value is
|
||
|
|
the declared type of the object or the effective type determined by
|
||
|
|
a previous store to it. If a value is stored into an object through
|
||
|
|
an lvalue having a type that is not a character type, then the
|
||
|
|
type of the lvalue becomes the effective type of the object for that
|
||
|
|
access and for subsequent accesses that do not modify the stored value.
|
||
|
|
If a value is copied into an object using <code>memcpy</code> or <code>memmove</code>,
|
||
|
|
or is copied as an array of character type, then the effective type
|
||
|
|
of the modified object for that access and for subsequent accesses that
|
||
|
|
do not modify the value is undetermined. For all other accesses to an
|
||
|
|
object, the effective type of the object is simply the type of the
|
||
|
|
lvalue used for the access.
