- <h3 class="section">10.3 Comparisons involving <code>poly_int</code></h3>
-
- <p>In general we need to compare sizes and offsets in two situations:
- those in which the values need to be ordered, and those in which
- the values can be unordered. More loosely, the distinction is often
- between values that have a definite link (usually because they refer to the
- same underlying register or memory location) and values that have
- no definite link. An example of the former is the relationship between
- the inner and outer sizes of a subreg, where we must know at compile time
- whether the subreg is paradoxical, partial, or complete. An example of
- the latter is alias analysis: we might want to check whether two
- arbitrary memory references overlap.
- </p>
- <p>Referring back to the examples in the previous section, it makes sense
- to ask whether a memory reference of size ‘<samp>3 + 4<var>x</var></samp>’ overlaps
- one of size ‘<samp>1 + 5<var>x</var></samp>’, but it does not make sense to have a
- subreg in which the outer mode has ‘<samp>3 + 4<var>x</var></samp>’ bytes and the
- inner mode has ‘<samp>1 + 5<var>x</var></samp>’ bytes (or vice versa). Such subregs
- are always invalid and should trigger an internal compiler error
- if formed.
- </p>
- <p>The underlying operators are the same in both cases, but the distinction
- affects how they are used.
