//
// When alias analysis is uncertain about the aliasing between any two accesses,
// it will return MayAlias. This uncertainty from alias analysis restricts LICM
// from proceeding further. In cases where alias analysis is uncertain we might
// use loop versioning as an alternative.
//
// Loop Versioning will create a version of the loop with aggressive aliasing
// assumptions in addition to the original with conservative (default) aliasing
// assumptions. The version of the loop making aggressive aliasing assumptions
// will have all the memory accesses marked as no-alias. These two versions of
// loop will be preceded by a memory runtime check. This runtime check consists
// of bound checks for all unique memory accessed in loop, and it ensures the
// lack of memory aliasing. The result of the runtime check determines which of
// the loop versions is executed: If the runtime check detects any memory
// aliasing, then the original loop is executed. Otherwise, the version with
// aggressive aliasing assumptions is used.
//
// Following are the top level steps:
//
// a) Perform LoopVersioningLICM's feasibility check.
// b) If loop is a candidate for versioning then create a memory bound check,
// by considering all the memory accesses in loop body.
// c) Clone original loop and set all memory accesses as no-alias in new loop.
// d) Set original loop & versioned loop as a branch target of the runtime check
// result.
//
// It transforms loop as shown below:
