A system that allows a programmer to specify a set of constraints that the programmer has adhered to in writing code so that a compiler is able to assume the set of constraints in disambiguating memory references within the code. The system operates by receiving an identifier for a set of constraints on memory references that the programmer has adhered to in writing the code. The system uses the identifier to select a disambiguation technique from a set of disambiguation techniques. Note that each disambiguation technique is associated with a different set of constraints on memory references. The system uses the selected disambiguation technique to identify memory references within the code that can alias with each other.
