+/// \brief Checks memory dependences among accesses to the same underlying
+/// object to determine whether there vectorization is legal or not (and at
+/// which vectorization factor).
+///
+/// Note: This class will compute a conservative dependence for access to
+/// different underlying pointers. Clients, such as the loop vectorizer, will
+/// sometimes deal these potential dependencies by emitting runtime checks.
+///
+/// We use the ScalarEvolution framework to symbolically evalutate access
+/// functions pairs. Since we currently don't restructure the loop we can rely
+/// on the program order of memory accesses to determine their safety.
+/// At the moment we will only deem accesses as safe for:
+/// * A negative constant distance assuming program order.
+///
+/// Safe: tmp = a[i + 1]; OR a[i + 1] = x;
+/// a[i] = tmp; y = a[i];
+///
+/// The latter case is safe because later checks guarantuee that there can't
+/// be a cycle through a phi node (that is, we check that "x" and "y" is not
+/// the same variable: a header phi can only be an induction or a reduction, a
+/// reduction can't have a memory sink, an induction can't have a memory
+/// source). This is important and must not be violated (or we have to
+/// resort to checking for cycles through memory).
+///
+/// * A positive constant distance assuming program order that is bigger
+/// than the biggest memory access.
+///
+/// tmp = a[i] OR b[i] = x
+/// a[i+2] = tmp y = b[i+2];
+///
+/// Safe distance: 2 x sizeof(a[0]), and 2 x sizeof(b[0]), respectively.
+///
+/// * Zero distances and all accesses have the same size.
