This document explains how to use the -xalias_level option and several pragmas to enable the compiler to perform type-based alias analysis and optimizations. You use these extensions to express type-based information about the way pointers are used in your C program. The C compiler uses this information, in turn, to do a significantly better job of alias disambiguation for pointer-based memory references in your program.
See B.2.72 -xalias_level[=l] for a detailed explanation of this command’s syntax. Also, see 4.3.38 -Xalias_level[=l] for an explanation of the lint program’s type-based alias-analysis capabilities.
