[LLVMdev] [RFC] Stackmap and Patchpoint Intrinsic Proposal
This is a proposal for adding Stackmaps and Patchpoints to LLVM. The
first client of these features is the JavaScript compiler within the
open source WebKit project.
A Stackmap is a record of variable locations (registers and stack
offsets) at a particular instruction address.
A Patchpoint is an instruction address at which space is reserved for
patching a new instruction sequence at runtime.
