Can someone explain the theory behind the spillers in VirtRegMap.cpp? It seems as though the spillers do triple duty: - Insert load/store operations and/or fold instructions as necessary to carry out spills - Rewrite the spilled virtual registers to use machine registers (mapping given by the caller in the VRM). - Rewrite machine code to change virtual registers to physical registers

Hi, Sorry for the delay. I was trying to wrap my head around some live interval analysis code and have forgotten about emails. :-) On Aug 6, 2007, at 9:20 AM, David Greene wrote: > Can someone explain the theory behind the spillers in VirtRegMap.cpp? > > It seems as though the spillers do triple duty: > > - Insert load/store operations and/or fold instructions as >
