What specifically makes you think alias analysis is the holy grail of compiler optimization?
- Manishearth 10y agoI spent some time studying the subject a few years ago. Most of the current efforts I saw were about improving alias analysis. Could have been a skewed view of the thing, but the researchers I talked to seemed to feel like it was. Some compiler devs I've talked to do too. In general it does unlock a lot of opportunities when it comes to optimization.
