+@cindex memory model
+
+The memory model used by the middle-end models that of the C/C++
+languages. The middle-end has the notion of an effective type
+of a memory region which is used for type-based alias analysis.
+
+The following is a refinement of ISO C99 6.5/6, clarifying the block copy case
+to follow common sense and extending the concept of a dynamic effective
+type to objects with a declared type as required for C++.
+
+@smallexample
+The effective type of an object for an access to its stored value is
+the declared type of the object or the effective type determined by
+a previous store to it. If a value is stored into an object through
+an lvalue having a type that is not a character type, then the
+type of the lvalue becomes the effective type of the object for that
+access and for subsequent accesses that do not modify the stored value.
+If a value is copied into an object using @code{memcpy} or @code{memmove},
+or is copied as an array of character type, then the effective type
+of the modified object for that access and for subsequent accesses that
+do not modify the value is undetermined. For all other accesses to an
+object, the effective type of the object is simply the type of the
+lvalue used for the access.
