Returning part // of the pointer as the function return value may or may not count as capturing // the pointer, depending on the context. // //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// #include "llvm/ADT/SmallSet.h" #include "llvm/ADT/SmallVector.h" #include "llvm/Analysis/AliasAnalysis.h" #include "llvm/Analysis/CaptureTracking.h" #include "llvm/IR/CallSite.h" #include "llvm/IR/Constants.h" #include "llvm/IR/Instructions.h" using namespace llvm; CaptureTracker::~CaptureTracker() {} bool CaptureTracker::shouldExplore(const Use *U) { return true; } namespace { struct SimpleCaptureTracker : public CaptureTracker { explicit SimpleCaptureTracker(bool ReturnCaptures) : ReturnCaptures(ReturnCaptures), Captured(false) {} void tooManyUses() override { Captured = true; } bool captured(const Use *U) override { if (isa<ReturnInst>(U->getUser()) && !ReturnCaptures) return false; Captured = true; return true; } bool ReturnCaptures; bool Captured; }; } /// PointerMayBeCaptured - Return true if this pointer value may be captured /// by the enclosing function (which is required to exist).
