Tobias Grosser 8b05278b4e tests: Add test that has a single pointer both as scalar read and array base
In case we also model scalar reads it can happen that a pointer appears in both
a scalar read access as well as the base pointer of an array access. As this
is a little surprising, we add a specific test case to document this behaviour.
To my understanding it should be OK to have a read from an array A[] and
read/write accesses to A[...]. isl is treating these arrays as unrelated as
their dimensionality differs. This seems to be correct as A[] remains constant
throughout the execution of the scop and is not affected by the reads/writes to
A[...]. If this causes confusion, it might make sense to make this behaviour
more obvious by using different names (e.g., A_scalar[], A[...]).

Polly - Polyhedral optimizations for LLVM
-----------------------------------------
http://polly.llvm.org/

Polly uses a mathematical representation, the polyhedral model, to represent and
transform loops and other control flow structures. Using an abstract
representation it is possible to reason about transformations in a more general
way and to use highly optimized linear programming libraries to figure out the
optimal loop structure. These transformations can be used to do constant
propagation through arrays, remove dead loop iterations, optimize loops for
cache locality, optimize arrays, apply advanced automatic parallelization, drive
vectorization, or they can be used to do software pipelining.
