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