/// This file defines various utility types and functions useful to
/// summary-based alias analysis.
///
/// Summary-based analysis, also known as bottom-up analysis, is a style of
/// interprocedrual static analysis that tries to analyze the callees before the
/// callers get analyzed. The key idea of summary-based analysis is to first
/// process each function indepedently, outline its behavior in a condensed
/// summary, and then instantiate the summary at the callsite when the said
/// function is called elsewhere. This is often in contrast to another style
/// called top-down analysis, in which callers are always analyzed first before
/// the callees.
///
/// In a summary-based analysis, functions must be examined independently and
/// out-of-context. We have no information on the state of the memory, the
/// arguments, the global values, and anything else external to the function. To
/// carry out the analysis conservative assumptions have to be made about those
/// external states. In exchange for the potential loss of precision, the
/// summary we obtain this way is highly reusable, which makes the analysis
/// easier to scale to large programs even if carried out context-sensitively.
///
/// Currently, all CFL-based alias analyses adopt the summary-based approach
/// and therefore heavily rely on this header.
