thanks a lot. I will check your advice. Can you give some explaination about memory ssa, and how to use it. I check internal, cannot get it. Maybe you know some examples or some more materials.

For each function, we can traverse all defined ssa name by macro FOR_EACH_SSA_NAME. If a ssa name is default definition for a symbol (check SSA_NAME_IS_DEFAULT_DEF) , I can get the symbol by SSA_NAME_VAR. But for a virtual DEFAULT DEF, I cannot get it, SSA_NAME_VAR return a identifier named .MEM. I cannot find which variable related to the default definition. Why and how I should find the related variable? > > > By the way , I give my current work,&nbsp; I wish find a MEM_REF refer to global/heap memory or local stack. I try my best to get a correct memory type. Since MEM_REF have a base address, which is often a ssa name. Athough it is not virtual ssa name. But I find just check ssa name data flow is not enough to get the info. > For example, a malloc function allocate some heap memory and record the address in a global ptr. On gimple ssa IR, the malloc function return a address assigned to a ssa name , then ssa name assign the value to the global ptr. When i check ssa name defined by the global ptr, I donot know if the ptr point to global memory or local memory. > Please see the gimple code: > _2 = malloc() > ptr = _2 > _3 = ptr > MEM_REF[BASE _3] > I wish get _3&nbsp; is a address pointing to global memory.

You can instead query points-to information on _3 for example by calling ptr_deref_may_alias_global_p (_3) which internally looks at SSA_NAME_PTR_INFO which contains the solution of the points-to computation.
