because LLVM has no restrictions on mixing types in addressing, loads or
stores.
- It would be possible to add special annotations to the IR, probably using
- metadata, to describe a different type system (such as the C type system),
- and do type-based aliasing on top of that. This is a much bigger
- undertaking though.
+ LLVM's type-based alias analysis pass uses metadata to describe a different
