// which automatically provides functionality for the entire suite of client
// APIs.
//
-// This API represents memory as a (Pointer, Size) pair. The Pointer component
-// specifies the base memory address of the region, the Size specifies how large
-// of an area is being queried, or UnknownSize if the size is not known.
-// Pointers that point to two completely different objects in memory never
-// alias, regardless of the value of the Size component.
+// This API identifies memory regions with the Location class. The pointer
+// component specifies the base memory address of the region. The Size specifies
+// the maximum size (in address units) of the memory region, or UnknownSize if
+// the size is not known. The TBAA tag identifies the "type" of the memory
+// reference; see the TypeBasedAliasAnalysis class for details.
+//
+// Some non-obvious details include:
+// - Pointers that point to two completely different objects in memory never
+// alias, regardless of the value of the Size component.
+// - NoAlias doesn't imply inequal pointers. The most obvious example of this
+// is two pointers to constant memory. Even if they are equal, constant
+// memory is never stored to, so there will never be any dependencies.
+// In this and other situations, the pointers may be both NoAlias and
+// MustAlias at the same time. The current API can only return one result,
+// though this is rarely a problem in practice.
