Summary:
In case two arrays share base pointers in the same invariant load equivalence
class, we canonicalize all memory accesses to the first of these arrays
(according to their order in the equivalence class).
This enables us to optimize kernels such as boost::ublas by ensuring that
different references to the C array are interpreted as accesses to the same
array. Before this change the runtime alias check for ublas would fail, as it
would assume models of the C array with differing (but identically valued) base
pointers would reference distinct regions of memory whereas the referenced
memory regions were indeed identical.
As part of this change we remove most of the MemoryAccess::get*BaseAddr
interface. We removed already all references to get*BaseAddr in previous
commits to ensure that no code relies on matching base pointers between
memory accesses and scop arrays -- except for three remaining uses where we
need the original base pointer. We document for these situations that
MemoryAccess::getOriginalBaseAddr may return a base pointer that is distinct
to the base pointer of the scop array referenced by this memory access.
